KEY TAKEAWAYS
- You can manage production yourself, hire someone in-house, hire a freelancer or hire an agency to manage it.
- Freelancers: You must be good at identifying talent as there are many choices, and you also have to spend time managing it, often you will need multiple people to manage different tasks. It can represent a lot of work and time for you.
- Agencies: They immediately overcome the downsides to freelancers, but they come at a higher cost.
- Inhouse: They cost more than freelancers, but you have to manage them too. however, the upside is you have the ultimate control over their work.
- DIY: Perfect if your alternative is not doing it at all. But you only have so many hours in the day and you will be spending your time on non-income-generating tasks that you may not even be particularly good at.
- Freelancers aren’t that accountable to you, which means they won’t always be reliable.
- An agency has invaluable knowledge, experience and support that you would never get from freelancers or even your own team.
