As a business owner it’s hard to delegate tasks to others because it’s your business and you want to make sure everything is done correctly and up to your standards. There are some things that can easily be outsourced to others, while still portraying your business voice the way you want it to be. Below is a list of everyday tasks that you can outsource to others in order to free up your time for more important tasks:

Formatting Blog Posts

If you enjoy writing about the weddings you service but don’t want to take the time to format them onto your blog, consider outsourcing. Then the words will still be yours but the tedious work won’t have to be done by you.

Additionally, if the idea of writing your own blog posts sounds daunting and intimidating, this also can easily be outsourced.

Scheduling Social Media Posts

Organizing and scheduling all your social media posts on various sites can take up a lot of precious work time throughout your days. If you can appoint someone with this task, you can use your time on more pressing needs.

Proposals

Sending out proposals is important so you can get more clients and work but will take up time when you’re trying to stay on top of items for the upcoming weddings you already have booked. By hiring someone else to take care of this, you can focus on the upcoming brides knowing that possible clients are receiving your information so they will hopefully choose you.

Invoices

As a follow-up to proposals, invoices also need to be sent out. Without sending these, you won’t get paid; however, it is a time consuming task that can be hard to find the time for when you’re in the middle of another busy wedding season. With outsourcing invoices, you can simply pass along a total and someone else can take on the task of sending along a professional looking invoice to the correct customer.

Answering Calls and E-mail

Staying on top of customers’ communication is key in maintaining a reputation as a reliable business owner. If you can outsource this task the short wedding season might just seem a little less stressful.

Keeping Your Website Up to Date

As you grow your business and trends change, it’s a good idea to keep the most current weddings on your website as fresh content. Someone else is perfectly capable of taking your most recent wedding work and putting it on your website.

While updating your website it will also be helpful if you hire someone optimize your website and its posts.

Bookkeeping

There are many tasks that can fall under the title of “bookkeeping.” Some examples are processing payments, managing payroll, and managing expenses.

So, if you find yourself going through this list and nodding along at the many dreaded tasks that take away from the time you could be using your creativity in your clients’ weddings, then look into outsourcing some work. You and your business will only reap the rewards.
