So yesterday we began talking about why people are failing in creating a PROFITABLE online business, and what you SHOULD be investing in.
The first thing you should do is get a coach/mentor and I explained all about that and how you can save tons of money and time by doing so and get yourself making money much quicker. If you missed that post you can see it by clicking here.
Today though I want to talk about the SECOND thing you should be investing in and that's…
SERVICES!
Yes you should be investing in services that help you get things DONE.
Yes I'm talking about outsourcing…
There are so many things you can outsource like…
Copy for your squeeze and sales pages
Building of your squeeze and sales page
Building and creation of membership sites
Content creation
Email copywriting
Traffic
Graphics
Other techy things
Customer support
Social media marketing and other advertising
And I could literally make a list of thousands upon thousands of other things!
NOTE: I provide many services, but the one that everyone goes crazy over is my digital product setup service at IMSetupService.com. This is where we setup digital products for you that you can promote as your own products and keep all the money. It comes with all the coaching you need to make money with the products and more! Check it out at IMSetupService.com
So many people though are using the money they could use to get things done on stupid stuff!
You don't need a course on doing your own SEO. It's WAY cheaper and you'll save a ton of time by outsourcing it.
You don't need to create your own sales copy. You need to pay someone who actually knows what they're doing and can actually MAKE you money.
You don't need to learn to do graphics. Again, it's WAY cheaper and you'll save a ton of time by outsourcing it.
You don't need to learn to build your own membership site. Again, it's WAY cheaper and you'll save a ton of time by outsourcing it.
Again, I could make a list of a thousand things you don't need or don't need to learn because you can pay someone else to do it for you.
Every time I hear the excuse I can't make money online because I can't do XYZ I always ask my clients then why don't you hire someone to do it for you.
The biggest reason is people are scared of hiring the wrong person…
The second biggest reason is people just don't know what to ask people to do…
For those of you with either or both of those problems I have a great resource for you from James Carter and it's called the Outsource System…

This teaches you absolutely everything you need to know about outsourcing, gives you templates to use to get work done for your business, and absolutely everything else you need to get things done for your business!
I have been through so many different outsourcing courses and this one is hands down the best one out there.
Now you might be saying…
“But, Liz, you told me I needed to quit buying stuff!”
Yes I did, BUT I said things that aren't related to your business model. Outsourcing is directly related to anyone who is trying to run an online business and you need to know how to do it. Plain and simple!
By outsourcing and buying “done for you” services you're going to get more done in a quicker period of time which is going to get you to profits quicker, so getting this is an absolute necessity!

Okay so we've now talked about TWO things you need to be investing in…
1. A coach/mentor
2. Services that help you get things done
Tomorrow we will be talking about the last one and it's the last key to seeing serious profits from your business. Anyone care to guess what it might be?
Just leave your guesses in the comments form below…
Here’s to wishing you a healthy, happy, and wealthy life!

I will take a stab in the dark and say….
MONKEYS!!!!!
No really….the answer is traffic.
Monkeys! Yes… You must invest in monkeys! Flying ones preferably. 🙂
And your answer may or may not be correct. 😉
Excellent post Liz. And this year is when I started actually focusing on the Done For Me types of products and services. For years I toiled away trying to do everything myself because I always had more time than money .. or at least that’s what I thought back then.
This year, I really took stock of what I was doing, where I wanted to go, and how to get there. I took some of my income tax refund and invested in some serious software, DFY products and some coaching opportunities and I finally have a viable plan!
I was, and still am someone who likes to know how things work. So all of my learning and studying has gotten me to a point where finally know what I’m good at and what I hate doi. I’m finally more comfortable letting go some of my need to know and control .. and to find people who can do some things fast, better, and for less than I could do them myself.
I still buy stuff .. but I’m much better at knowing what I’ll need because I have a plan.
Any my guess for the third thing is: Building a List.
Well Robin you’re taking my advice on two of the three things and you’re seeing the light at the end of the tunnel! Thank you for sharing your comments. I am soooo happy you’re taking action on what I’m showing and teaching you. You’ve soooo got this girl!
