Scaling your work means taking on projects sometimes too large for one person to do efficiently

Now your jobs include marketing campaigns or website audits

LARGE Projects

If the client is to expect things to still be done in a timely fashion...

You got it!

OUTSOURCE

2/

Take the project you were hired for,

Break it down into its parts, and those parts again if they are still large tasks

Determine which are you strenghts and which would be most beneficial to delegate

Civil Engineering is my field so I’ll use this analogy:

Think of yourself as the general contractor of the project

You hire subcontractors for small parts of the job

You are the one responsible for the entire project including your subcontractors work.

Choose wisely!

4/

How do you find people to our source too?

Easy!

Research freelancers on trusted platforms, look at their profile and reviews

If you’ve been around you may have relationships with people who have the knowledge you’re looking for

Remember choose wisely!

You’re responsible

5/

There your crash course on scaling your freelance business!

If you aren’t at this stage yet, here’s my advice for you!

Best of luck everyone!

You’ve got this!
