one of the biggest motivations for outsourcing is to free up your own time
or however in order to do this you need to make sure your workers are operating..
efficiently in this lesson we give you some tips for keeping your workers and
yourself productive delegate don't keep all the tasks to yourself just because
you think you have a clear idea of how you want them done especially if you
know your workers are more than capable of carrying them out for you
some people find letting go of pit activities tough at first but if you
ever want to free up your time it is absolutely necessary to delegate this
also ensures that you're making the most of your workers by giving them a
continuous supply of work rather than trying to take it all for yourself keep
a specific time aside each day to send an email have a video chat session or
otherwise get in contact with each of your workers use this time to find out
how they're going what they've done during the day
what problems they've encountered and anything they need to ask you about
setting aside a specific time allows you to free your mind to forget them the
rest of the day additionally finding out what they've done in the day keeps them
accountable actively asking what problems they've encountered also
ensures that you find out early if they've had a problem that they can't
solve rather than having to wait for them to come to you however don't make
the mistake of making yourself always available for contact as this can lead
to interruptions by your workers to deal with their problems instead set aside
specific contact times and what your workers can contact you this ensures
that you can still stay productive while still dealing with any urgent issues in
a timely fashion looking after them a happy worker is a motivated worker
remember your workers aren't machines you have days off and so do they so
don't try to expect 100% efficiency 100% of the time in fact if you don't put
excessive pressure on your workers to meet such expectations you'll often find
that when they don't meet their set goals in a given day they will try to
make it up on their own time if one of your workers does something
really well or achieves beyond expectations give them an unannounced
bonus on their monthly salary this is one really easy and still cheap way to
keep them motivated to keep outperforming expectations it also
improves loyalty hiring and training suitable workers is one of your most
time consuming activities so retaining workers for as long as possible as ideal
let them think just because English might not be your
workers first language don't make the mistake of assuming they're not
intelligent if you give your workers some independence and time to solve
problems themselves you will often get more out of them and free your time more
than if you try to micromanage their tasks if something isn't happening to
your liking don't try and go in and do it yourself that's exactly what your
outsourcing is here to achieve instead work with your workers to get what you
actually want but let them do the actual work this also lets them learn so they
can perform the tasks without your input again in the future help them out
occasionally your workers will encounter an issue they can't solve
don't let them flail about ask them about the issue in your daily
collaboration and work with them to solve it also make sure they've grasped
your solution completely if they learn it they should be able to apply their
new knowledge to any other similar problems in the future be clear your
workers are there to implement your ideas but they're not mind reader's try
to be as clear and unambiguous about your requests as you can use tools to
help you out if you need to show how something is done or you need to point
out an issue in a design you'll probably find it quicker and easier to record a
short video or to take a screenshot then you will to try and write it down and
text one very useful tool we use ourselves here at affilorama as Jen it
allows you to take short videos of your screen which you can use to make short
tutorials on how to do certain things you can also take screenshots and
quickly draw arrows and text to quickly point out things you need done fixes you
want on a design or anything else you care to point out
be trusting the game of outsourcing is to reduce your workload not create more
trust your workers you don't want to spend your time creating lockdown user
accounts setting up securely isolated hosting environments and performing
other time-consuming tasks every time you hire someone don't assume that just
because they're from a different country they're out to scam you obviously this
will be up to your common sense you may not want to give your employees root
access to your hosting straightaway and we don't recommend giving your employees
your bank account details or payroll information but at the same time
providing your workers upfront with access to your ebooks your articles
membership content will make things easier for you overall task management
here at a full Arama we use a system called clocking it it's free and it does
the trick ad and the tasks you need done and assign them to your workers they can
clock the time and add comments for example to provide an update or request
information from you clocking it also sends notification to email so you don't
have to worry about having to stay logged in yourself the time tracking
system will also help you locate what tasks are taking the longest to complete
and help you identify issues that may be cropping up did we mention that it's
free well you should go and get it immediately ok in this lesson we've
taken a look at keeping your workers productive we looked at delegation
keeping updated looking after your workers leaving your workers think
helping your workers out when they need it
being clear trusting and using some great task
management software anyway that's all we've got time for today thanks so much
for watching we look forward to seeing you again soon bye for now
