What’s new for Digital Marketing This Week? Episode 16 is all about outsourcing!

- You are already doing the work yourself.
- You know how to teach others to do the work—which generally means you already have a system in place that you can teach.
- You have extra work that needs to be done.
- You’re time is better spent on more important tasks.
- You are ready to manage others.
