Want to expand your business on a budget?
💡 TIP #1 - Secret Source of Rockstar Talent
You can hire on all the major platforms and far and away the one you have had the most success with is Online Jobs in the Philippines. The site is full of highly talented individuals in a wide variety of areas and is way cheaper than alternatives. Filipinos speak great English and a good portion of their economy is built around virtual work.
💡 TIP #2 - How to Hire the Best and Brightest
Hiring is all about filtering. You can always ask candidates to send a resume and answer 3 questions (and ask they limit their answers to 250 words). Next you do a zoom interview. If they seem like the winner, you can often give them a challenge to complete so you can make sure they are the real deal. Remember... hire slow, fire fast (it works).
💡 TIP #3 - Set Crystal Clear Expectations
When outsourcing there are a few critical items to clarify. First, what hours will the person be working? Your 9 to 5 could be their 3rd shift. Next, how are you tracking their hours? You will love Online Jobs because they have a system that people log in to that also does random screen captures. This ensures you only pay for actual work.
💡 TIP #4 - Efficient Process for Duplication
If you want something done right, always do it once yourself and record it in a screenshare video (use Loom). When your team member does the task, ask that they turn your video into step-by-step written instructions. That way you know they are doing it right and you also have it documented for the future.
💡 TIP #5 - Daily Huddles and Weekly Stats
Just because somebody lives somewhere else doesn't mean they need to feel distant. You can run a huddle every week day where everyone reports what they did, what they're going to do and what they need help with. You can also keep a simple stats spreadsheet on Google where everyone updates stats weekly for their particular job.
I think the important thing to remember is that there are good people all over the world.
You will be sooooo blessed to have an amazing crew everywhere. Even though we are on opposite sides of the world, we all still feel like family. ️️❤️
So with that, I wish you the best in your business expansion!
P.S. The first step is to do a simple a keyword search for whatever skill you're looking for. I think you'll like the results!
