    I think that a combination of LEARN and HIRE is the way to go. You should learn enough so that when you do hire you can check the work done by the people you hire and personalize it if need be.

    I would say that you should outsource as much as you can. It is good to learn all the stuff yourself but once your business grows it becomes necessary for you to outsource and if you don't outsource then it can take you months to do a project that could have easily been finished in days.

    I say if you can afford it you should outsource!

    Well, it's better to learn yourself. In the long run, it'll be cheaper and you'll enjoy yourselves.

    Once your business has grown to a level that you can afford to outsource, outsource it!

    The general consensus seems to be 'why not learn if you have the time'. If you're going for that option I'd say it would be a great idea to get someone to show you the ropes, as there is a heck of alot of stuff out there.

    It is dependent on yours.If you have time then you learn and do marketing for your site slowly.Otherwise hire an internet marketing professional to do marketing for your site.

    It is always advised to start with Article Marketing b/c it is the cheapest. I think that it is best you learn the strategies before you hire anyone.

    This is what I have seen a lot of people do. They learn SEO and article marketing ( the two go hand in hand). After they learn it inside and out, they then hire people to write articles for them while they learn PPC. That way they can have their articles written for them and free up some time to devote to learning PPC.

    Learn what works best for you, and then outsource the grunt work.

    I'd agree, time is the key. Don't spend money, make money by learning from free sites and no buying eBooks!

    I agree somewhat on this. I started marketing back in 2007. I learned a lot for free. However, there were just a few pieces of the puzzle that was missing. I bought A LOT of Ebooks, some were crap and some were actually beneficial.

    I joined a membership site later down the road that cleared up some questions I had and helped me put the pieces together. Of course, this isn't necessary, but it can help if find a good ebook or affiliate marketing membership site that is good.

    It seems as though some people fall into the trap that they keep buying ebooks. Once you learn the basics of SEO and article marketing, you are pretty much on your way. You just have to take action and STOP buying ebooks. There is always another "Guru" that comes along that promises to let you in on yet ANOTHER secret that hasn't been exposed...

    Learning is always better, you can make a loooooooot of saving doing things by yourself. Our experience showed for example that our members are doing a quiet good job in a very very short time. When you have an expert teaching you, you go directly to the essential and not for useless things. Besides expert charge a more than needed, and even if you have to hire someone you have to be conscious of the state of the art of internet marketing to know how to negociate.

    Good Luck

    Growing your MLM business online is going to become VERY popular over the next few years. As more and more people figure out how simple it is to build HUGE organizations using online mlm strategies…there will be an influx of network marketers escaping the network marketing rat race.
    And yes, I do view the “traditional methods” as the network marketing rat race. If those methods actually worked, there would not be a 95% failure ratio. There is a much more intelligent way to build your mlm business online then simply calling your friends and family.
    Step 1 – When building your MLM business online, you have the ability to CREATE your own leads. Creating your own leads is by far the most sure fire way to talk to the most interested prospects there are.
    When you create your own leads, you are generating only prospects who are already interested in what you have to offer. It doesn’t get any more targeted then that!
    You then have the ability to drive massive amounts of traffic to your lead capture pages, and product massive amounts of new prospects for your mlm business. The more prospects you have, the quicker your business is going to explode.
    Step 2 – Create a back end marketing system that automates your business. When building your mlm business online, you can use entirely automated systems to educated and inform your prospects.
    Prospects get entered into a marketing campaign where information is marketed to them for the rest of time. You simply set it up once, with what messages you want to send them, and it is completely hands off from there.
    Obviously the more you test your marketing funnel, and find the most powerful converting messages, the more people you are going to convert into business partners. But the point is, building your MLM business online allows you to automate the entire process. You can even have the sign up into the business straight from one of your websites, and you will only be calling prospects to introduce yourself once they have joined your team.
    If you take the time to LEARN how successful people are growing HUGE organizations online right now, you can follow in their exact foot steps and start massively expanding your business.
    I have a system that provides not just only expert advice but you also get Live Webinars and can actually interact with Expert marketers who have been there and done it. And I bet it's far more cheaper as opposed to hiring someone. I use The system that to conduct all of my Internet Marketing and you have an expert walking you through the process step by step.

    I think it depends on your money and time.

    It´s a good thing to know the basics of the most important skills needed as online marketer. So you will be able to know what to expect when you outsource something! You need to know what you want if you want to order something.

    Always best to learn on your own, of course there will be many saying HIRE simply because that is what they do for a living and if everyone knew their skills they will simply have to focus on their own sites. It pays a pretty penny to market others warez especially when you have a few clients.

    Doing it yourself allows you to reduce that "marketing bill" and fully understand how and why everything works the way it does.

    I do however suppose that IF you are currently successful and looking to do next to nothing than simply add the costs for the marketers and seo guys and figure your net after costs and if you are happy with that number just keep that system working.
