Building A Team From Scratch For Your Online Business

By Rose Marie D'Amico


If you have an online business, you need a team to help run it! So, who should you hire? What skills should they have? And how much can you afford to pay them?

Building a team is building leverage.

Building a team is Leverage.

They always say to model the behavior of those who are already where you want to be. Well, the top online business owners have built teams. If you need even more inspiration to build a team, then you should know that most of the successful businesses online credit their team as the key link to getting their ideas implemented quickly which in turn gets them to the money quickly.

The top business owners in the online space have teams. And, almost all of these top businesses credit the building of a team to the speed of their success. Does that motivate YOU to build a team?

If you have your eye on video marketing, you may figure that you need someone to help with the camera. If you've ever made a video then you know that wearing all the video hats: script writer, producer, actor, and editor can be exhausting.

Even though that's true, even the top video strategist doesn't recommend that your primary team hire be a cameraman.

While creating video is important, there are other on-going items that are just as important. As a result, a VA, or virtual assistant, is the best choice to begin building your team.

What kinds of jobs or projects should your virtual assistant help with?

To find the answer, you need to first evaluate your current online business activities.

First, take a look at the activities of your business to discover the things that you dread doing. These would be things that need to get done, but not necessarily done by you.

The second thing you should do is evaluate yourself. We all have strengths and weakness. Discover what yours are. You can do this by taking the Myers Briggs personality test. This will help you decide where you should be spending your time (in your strengths) so that you can hire someone to handle the business items that are not your strengths (the stuff that drains your creativity and energy).

So there you have it-How to Build a Team online so you can leverage time and talents of others. Having the best people working within their strengths will be the leverage you need to build your business beyond where it is right now.
