If you’re a solopreneur focused on growing your business, you may have realized just how challenging it can be to tackle your entire to-do list by yourself!
And when you’re building a location-independent business inspired by Anywhereist, you also have to learn your way around new technology. After all, creating passive income actually takes a lot of work.
But what if you could simply hire freelance professionals and save your energy? Here’s how working with expert freelancers can help you expand your business.
Freelance Professional #1: Business Formation Service
Establishing your business as an LLC is a smart financial move. Going through this process will determine how you will pay your taxes, your personal liability status, and several other crucial details for business management.
If you wanted to, you could move forward with the filing process by yourself, but it can get complicated. Therefore, working with a business formation service will make this process much easier and faster. Plus, these services are often quite affordable!
The formation service will file all of the required paperwork with your state and then make sure you have the documents you need.
Freelance Professional #2: Web Designer
Nowadays, nearly every entrepreneur has a website for their business. Whether you’re running an e-commerce shop, a consulting service, or a marketing agency, it’s practically impossible to conduct business today without some kind of web presence.
While setting up a basic website with a simple template provided by a hosting service is fairly intuitive, making your site really stand out with a sleek, eye-catching design can be more challenging. And it’s all too easy to spend hours fiddling with different web design features, widgets, and color schemes, trying to get your site to look just right.
This is why every solopreneur should consider hiring a freelance web designer!
Nuts and Bolts Blog recommends browsing through a few designers’ portfolios, comparing pricing, and finding out what kind of maintenance your site design will require. If you love your designer’s work, you can always reach out to them again in the future if you need to add new web pages or update your entire site.
Freelance Professional #3: IT Support
Every once in a while, you’ll run into a technical issue with your website, a particular software you rely on, or even your tech equipment.
You may not need to hire full-time IT support, but it’s great to have a trusted IT professional who you know you can call when you require their assistance. There are countless IT professionals advertising their services online, so to find a reputable expert, Digital Mom Talk recommends asking any potential hires for publicly verifiable references.
Freelance Professional #4: Social Media Manager
Expanding your marketing efforts on social media is one of the easiest and cost-effective ways to reach new customers and clients! But managing your own social media accounts can take up time that you could have spent working on projects for clients or developing new products. If you find that running your own social media is simply too time-consuming, it’s time to hire a freelance social media manager.
Before hiring a social media manager, make sure that they truly understand your brand inside and out. You should also check out examples of their work with their previous clients and ask about their experience with your preferred social media management software. Knowing that your social media accounts are in trusted hands can bring you peace of mind!
Entrepreneurs are naturally independent, and you may find yourself trying to tackle all of your business responsibilities on your own. But sometimes, hiring a freelancer for assistance can lift a burden from your shoulders. By bringing a few freelancers on board when you’re exceptionally busy, you can run your business more efficiently!
