How would you like to have your business professionally represented to millions of potential customers at the lowest cost possible? Have you priced traditional forms of advertising such as direct mail or industry journal ads? Traditional forms of advertising can cost a fortune, have limited exposure and restrict the types of media that you can use to connect with prospects.

The Internet can provide a wide variety of advertising options that would not be available to most small businesses. Instead of boring print ads, imagine showing a video to your prospects that introduces them to your products, services and staff. You could show testimonials of current customer satisfaction or even a staff member demonstrating your product. The power of video can not be denied. But the amount of exposure that your video has compared to direct mail can be just pennies on the dollar.

Outsourcing your video marketing tasks has never been easier. Overseas reps properly trained in video and Internet marketing can place your business in front of a worldwide audience for as little as $5.00 an hour. In just a couple of hours, dozens of your videos can be SEO optimized and submitted to free video hosting sites such as Youtube, Google Video and others for a fraction of the cost of direct mail, newspaper or trade journal fees. Did you know that you can put video in your Internet press releases? This increases the visibility of your company and helps build search engine positioning of your company website.

Outsourcing is the answer to worldwide exposure. Don’t let big labor costs and expensive marketing training keep you from partaking in this fantastic opportunity. All you have to do is represent your company and the great services it can provide customers by creating a video. Outsourcing can do the rest!

The power of video has yet to be realized and any business with a video marketing strategy already in place will be ready for the features of online video as it rapidly changes in the coming years. Outsourcing gives you the unique opportunity to cheaply and easily step your company up to the plate and be there when ideas start to flow. Promoting your business on the web is a powerful tool for a global awareness of your brand image.

The success of marketing your videos on hosting sites such as Youtube and video.yahoo is based heavily on the use of keywords and tags. Tags are how the search engines find a video and match it up to a particular person’s search results. Having a good search position result on Google or other search engines is how new business is created on the Internet. Google can’t see the content of a video, so keywords play an important part in a search engine matching the video to a result. Does your virtual assistant know these keyword techniques? An outsourced rep properly trained in video marketing can accomplish these tasks quickly and easily.

At the outset of a new endeavor, a combination of anxiety and caution are warranted. It’s more comfortable if you don’t have to make a big commitment while you kick the tires and go for the test drive. You need a period of time to try out new ideas and practices for your business, and in that period of time you either gain confidence or decide it’s not your best choice.

This should be your approach if you are new to outsourcing as well. Don’t jump in with both feet and decide that you’re going to hand over all your bookkeeping and customer support in one fell swoop. Rather, move slowly toward a planned goal of outsourcing all the tasks that you can.

The best way to start with outsourcing is with just one. Start with just one outsourced employee at first. That’s exactly what I did.

After doing my research to find an outsourcing company I felt confident with, I used them to help me find my first employee to try out. As far as finding the right outsourcing company for you, I’ll get to that in an upcoming article.

To screen prospective employees for me, I gave the outsourcing company a list of what I was looking for in an ideal employee. Once the company had some candidates for me, I interviewed them myself, and then picked the one that I hoped could deliver what I needed.

So, get that first employee and give it try. How is that employee meeting your needs? Is this outsourced employee displaying the qualities and qualifications that you must have in order to continue your business success? Does the employee understand what you are asking them to do? Are they doing it right and making progress for your business?

If you are answering “yes” to these questions, congratulations! You’ve found a winner and a keeper. On the other hand, if you are answering “no” to any of these questions, go back to the outsourcing company and have them find you another employee.

Once you have found one outsourced employee who works well for you, it will be easier to find more. You’ll have more clarity about what you are looking for in your interview process and in your specifications to the outsourcing company.

And, believe me, once you’ve found an outsourcing company that can deliver quality workers for your business, you’ll wonder why you didn’t outsource sooner. Your business will be growing right before your very eyes. Just take that first step and try it.

A statement from the Federation of Small Businesses (http://www.fsb.org.uk) urges small business owners to be cautious about outsourcing:

“People should make sure they are getting the right service for the size of company they are. They should not have to shell out for blanket coverage. It’s about striking a balance.”

What kind of balance are you striking in your business? Are you finding that you are paying high prices for help with your business tasks, but you’re not getting the results you’d hoped for?

When you choose a plumber to fix the pipes in your home or a dry cleaner for your business suits, you are looking for a good value and quality service that you don’t have to think twice about. Once you’ve chosen a company to the work, you want to confidently move forward without having to reevaluate the decision. This should be your approach in getting help with your business as well.

We all need help to achieve our goals, whether it be in our personal lives or in our businesses. And there’s nothing worse than feeling like you wish you’d hired someone else once the job is done. I hate that feeling.

Are you going back over work that your staff has already completed to make sure it was done right the first time? Do you have regrets about your hired help? If you answered “yes” to either question, I encourage you to reconsider.

We can’t do it all ourselves, that’s for sure. As small business owners, we just don’t have the superhuman capability we need to get it all done. What’s inevitable is that you need to hire help. But what’s not inevitable is the quality, reliability, and affordability of the help you’re going to hire.

For tasks that you need done in your home, you probably ask your friends and neighbors who they’ve used and how satisfied they were with the work. You need a person or an organization you can trust. And you need a match for the task at hand.

Because you are growing your small business, you need a partner like 123Employee to provide you with trustworthy, reliable, affordable help. I know the struggles of finding good help, and I’ve been using the services of our staffing group with great results.

Don’t be hard on yourself, but do be cautious in your business decisions. Choose a partners like us. We’ll succeed together.

Even when you outsource your sales lead generation, you need to offer your subscribers something of value to them for free. You can start by offering them free newsletter, product reports, instructional videos or audios, and a lot more.

You can outsource this as well so you can have equally good and interesting blogs in order to catch the interests of your readers. The comments you will receive will also serve as proof that you are a real deal and you are not just there to scam them for their hard earned money.

Sales outsourcing is an interesting way to build customer relation online but it does not have to be that hard like most people think. By knowing certain strategies on sales and marketing outsourcing, you can ensure your success in your line of business. Outsourcing your sales requirements will give you the chance to direct your attention on more important matters while third party service providers facilitate your sales and marketing activities.
