¿What Should I Outsource and What Should I Do In-house?

When you’re starting your online business, or virtual real estate, you want to outsource everything you can. It’s usually the cheapest way to go. There are no salaries to pay or employees to manage and looking to the east will cut your labor expense in half.

When you are running a more serious operation you might want to consider hiring some people to work in-house with you to make the developing process smoother.

The easiest types of job to outsource are:

• Writing
• Link building
• Customer service

Depending on the type of online business you are running it’s more comfortable to some development interacting directly on:

• Programming
• Design
• Marketing

Explaining details of design and programming functionality is much easier when the person is sitting next you. If you are building a large portal or a user interactive Website it’s better to be together in the same location.

Marketing is more of a middle ground. You can outsource it but if you have it in-house it’s easier to put your brains together and be creative with it.
