A Guide for Building an Online Business Using Freelancers

A Guide for Building an Online Business Using Freelancers

Updated - November 29, 2022 By David Trounce Leave a Comment

If you want to build an online business quickly, then there are many avenues that you can pursue.

One of the most effective is to hire a team of specialised freelancers who can help you grow your company without needing to rent an office or create a full-time payroll.

There are many compelling reasons to use freelancers if you are just starting out and looking to build a profitable business quickly.

The first is that hiring freelancers gives you direct access to their skill sets, which will be far more specialised than your own.

Building a strong social media following, for example, will almost be guaranteed to be more successful if you hire a social media specialist than trying to do it yourself.

Naturally, you will have to spend more money hiring a team of specialised freelancers rather than doing the jobs yourself, but it is a solid long-term investment if you choose your freelancers wisely.

Potential customers will gravitate towards your brand more eagerly if your website is professional, regularly updated, contains persuasive sales copy, and you are quick to reply to their messages.

Contrast this with you doing every job yourself – you are likely to be worn out, overstretched, and stressed – hardly the building blocks of a successful enterprise.

If you think hiring freelancers is an intriguing idea, then you may wonder which roles actually need filling.

While every business is different, there are a few core roles that every online business needs.

Below is an overview of everything you need to know about building an online business using freelancers.

Use Cloud Platforms to Host Projects

Suppose you are going to use a team of freelancers to collaborate and complete projects for your company.

In that case, it is a good idea to pool their documents, files, and data on one central platform for everyone to access quickly and easily.

In this instance, a cloud server may suit your needs the best. These platforms allow you to house your project files, sensitive data, and documents in one central location, which means you don’t have to rely on individual devices to save work as you go along.

This could be a lifesaver if your computer corrupts essential files, for example, or a specific freelancer can’t access the files created by another individual.

It allows everyone to work together without sending each other the documents – especially useful if freelancers come and go within your company. You need to get them up to speed with minimal fuss or bother.

While cloud servers are one of the safest places to store data, you can never be sure whether a freelancer who has worked for you in the past still has access to your confidential work documents.

Although not everyone is out to leak your data, accidents do happen, which is why it is crucial that you use a service such as a Cloud Access Security Broker, which helps you monitor who has access to your cloud database at any one time. Click here if you want to learn more about it.

Hire a Virtual Assistant to Help with Admin Work

If you are starting a business from scratch, chances are you are doing it alone. This can be an overwhelmingly stressful experience, as endless jobs seem to pile up.

You must be a full-time boss, salesperson, accountant, recruiter, and fill numerous other roles at any one time, which is when mistakes happen, and burnout is all but inevitable.

Although doing everything yourself saves money, your business is likely to suffer as a result. It is, therefore, a false economy, costing you future success and, potentially, all the money you have invested up until that point.

This shows why hiring a virtual assistant is a good idea. These are freelance assistants who take on all of your administrative jobs for you, even though they may live on the other side of the world. It can help ease the burden while you find your feet as a business owner.

Seek Out a Copywriter to Build You a Responsive Email List

One of the most critical aspects of business is the art of persuasion. Without it, you can make no sales, attract no long-term customers, or grow your business whatsoever.

Unfortunately, many start-up entrepreneurs decide to write persuasive copy (such as website landing pages, product descriptions, and sales emails) themselves, which rarely goes well.

Instead, it is best to hire a talented copywriter to write all this copy for you to attract customers the best you can.

Once your website is filled with high-quality copy, for example, you have a digital salesperson selling for you around the clock.

It is a wise investment, especially if you want to build a responsive email list to sell to every month.

A Website Designer Can Make You a Desirable Site

You can’t run a successful online business without an attractive and user-friendly website. It is the centre of your brand, the place where you advertise and sell your products, interact with prospects and tell the world about your company.

If you attempt to design your own low-budget website, then it doesn’t say much for the quality of your products.

Prospects can tell the difference between a professional brand and a chancer looking to sell average products.

Avoid looking like the latter by hiring a freelance web designer to help you create a world-class website.
