Do you want your business to be more efficient and reduce hassle to you? If you’re trying to make day to day running smoother then outsourcing some tasks can be well worth looking at. Not only does it mean that you don’t have to manage a hundred and one jobs in house, but it also means that each area is up to date on the law and being performed to the highest standard. It can also take pressure off you by removing tasks that don’t really need your direct involvement which is always a bonus when you’re a business owner and have your hands full. You might have already considered outsourcing jobs like marketing and fulfillment to make things easier for yourself, but there are quite a few other tasks to you could have taken care of that you might not have thought of yet.

Video Editing
Creating your own video content makes your company look professional, and can help to grab potential customers attention. Video can be useful for explaining  your products, services or processes in a clear and simple way. Perhaps you want a welcome video on the main page of your website, or want to create a ‘how to use’ guide for your products or services? You might want to create a Youtube or Tiktok channel and publish videos that can be integrated into your blog content. Either way, you need the help of a skilled video editor. Rather than hiring additional people on your own  team, it’s much easier to outsource the work instead especially if these will only be occasional projects throughout the year. A video editing company already has all of the equipment and know how so that everything looked really polished and professional and you’re not making your company look worse by getting it wrong.

Content Writing

Written content creation like blogging is a fantastic way to promote your business as you can gain a loyal following and improve your website’s ranking in Google search. Regular blog content helps to keep your website active and gives your customers a reason to keep coming back too. The higher your page rank is, the more organic traffic you’re likely to get. It’s also the perfect way to show potential customers that you’re a professional business who knows their stuff. You could outsource the work to a company, or sign up to a freelancing site as a customer and hire freelance writers as there are always hundreds online at any time who are ready to go. This allows you to keep content flowing without having to write everything yourself or rely on a member of your team, even if they’re knowledgeable on doing this it takes time away from their existing role. By doing this you’re in control and can get great content created without having to employ extra people.

Finance

Finance is one of those areas that can easily eat into your time when you’re running a business, particularly if you’re trying to manage everything yourself. That’s because it needs to be absolutely right or you can risk upsetting customers and employees (as well as the ‘tax man’). Using finance software for accounting, tax and payroll can make things so much simpler and help keep your records in order without constant manual work. Accounting software allows you to track income and expenses properly and makes it easier to prepare for tax returns without rushing at the last minute. Payroll software takes care of employee payments and calculations so staff are paid correctly and on time, it usually has extras like payslip templates on there too making things easier for you. Having these systems in place means fewer mistakes, less admin to deal with and more time to focus on other parts of the business.
