What To Expect When You Hire Someone

In estimating dollar costs for support, $50/hour is about the minimum for professional assistance. And you can often obtain better results if you pay more. The only way to beat this figure is to agree upon a price for a project. Even then, you wont beat it by much. Heres why.

People providing services have a continuing time cost in cultivating clients, lead generation, and in follow up.
Further, most have their own site to maintain. And likely a newsletter. Also there are the routine business chores that generate no direct income. All such time is lost. It produces no direct revenue.

One providing a service at $50/hour, may be netting only half this amount, when non-billable time is factored in. Thus people billing less may not be able to provide the level of quality you need.

Many new to business find such numbers hard to accept. Yet it can be very cost effective to hire services. Building web pages with HTML when you could be generating leads may not be the best use of your time. Reading a book or two about how to work the Web can be helpful, but it may be best to buy the information needed.

Put a dollar value on an hour of your time. Call it five bucks. When you find it is costing you a hundred in time for tasks you can hire out for fifty, youre wasting time. And the dollars you could have generated with that time.
