How can I get help for my business?
When you first start a business, it may be on a very small budget. Perhaps you don’t have the funds to outsource and pay as much or next to nothing to get the help. Don’t worry, there are low-cost ways to get help.
fiverr.com
This is a website where people offer their services for just five dollars. There are providers that have moved up the ranks and charge more, but the ones that start out are still only five dollars. Take a look at their qualifications and ask who is the best for the services you need.
Your children
Even small children can help you with your business. Whether it’s for data entry, filing, or cleaning house so you can do other things. Older kids can do a lot of amazing things, so don’t rule out hiring your own kids.
your spouse
It can be difficult to get your spouse to help you, but they are usually wonderful sources of work and can be free, or you can legally hire them as a deduction on your business.
your network
If you have joined a network, whether they are colleagues or not, you can go to them to find people who can help you financially. Maybe you can barter with each other to get things done.
Secondary students
You can’t legally use non-family high school students for free, but you can pay them a little less than an expert would. Even if they just help you with the housework and child care, that’s something that gives you more time to work on your business.
college interns
Local universities and community colleges are great places to find interns to use in your business. This is a highly talented group of people, especially when it comes to technology. It is important to know that it is necessary to pay them something and offer them a lot of education.
upwork.com
You can find cheap subcontractors on UpWork. The price will vary depending on where the subcontractor lives and also how experienced they are. Be sure to submit a good proposal and set your budget.
The above ways to get help with your business are tried and true methods that work. You can get help without spending tons of money. You also have to remember that anything you can get someone else to do is worth it if it costs less than what you can make per hour doing your main service or selling your main product.
