We are going to tell you a quick but embarrassing story. And, I’m telling it because I know it will save you a lot of time and frustration. So, here we go.
One time I was creating a proposal for a client. Pretty basic right? Here’s where it got complicated. The client wanted it delivered as a PDF, and all the pages had to be vertical, except for one. They wanted one of the pages with a bunch of data on it to be in a horizontal format.
Here’s the problem. I had no clue how to make that happen! I spent 30 minutes trying to figure it out myself. Another 30 minutes trying to Google the solution, then another 30 or so looking at YouTube videos.
After 90 minutes I still couldn’t figure it out. So here’s what I finally did. I went to Fiverr, typed in “format pdf” and found someone who could do the job for me. $10 dollars and 10 minutes later, I had a completed proposal for my client.
And while I was glad to have it done I was frustrated at the fact that I spent close to two hours on something that took someone else 10 minutes, and only cost me $10. I kept thinking about all the other stuff I could have done in those two hours. And, you probably realize this as well, but here’s where many people get stuck. You may not feel comfortable going on a platform and asking some unknown person for help.
And, I don’t blame you. You don’t know anything about them or the quality of their work. But on the flipside, if you don’t start leveraging remote experts, you’ll continue to spend hours on tasks that are a waste of your time, energy and talent. Fortunately, Fiverr has solved this problem for you with their premium offering called Fiverr Business, a platform caters specifically to medium to larger sized businesses with larger teams and bigger budgets.
And here’s one of my favorite parts, it includes premium features like a vetted talent pool, so you’re getting the best of the best freelancers. How can you start leveraging remote experts to improve your business, and what’s the best way to get started I chatted with a few entrepreneurs who also leverage Fiverr Business so they can share their experiences with you during the most recent episode of the Launch Your Business Podcast.
