The interaction between you and your outsourced content team lies in your hands to push to the next level. Sadly not many internet marketers are ready to do this. Most think that an informal interaction with members of their team will lead to deliberate overlooking of assignments and low output of resources for the job at hand. Some team members will even go as far as giving flimsy excuses for not executing a task.

Well, here's the thing- getting closer to just about anyone does no harm at all, despite whom they may be. Most times, personal relationships are far better, especially when the two parties are after each others good. Hence, just how can you make this magic take place? The following are 4 brilliant approaches to do that.

1. Do not handle them with severe strictness All humans err, therefore be mild and correct their mistakes for them, encourage them by leading by example. If you usually shout orders at them, they will see it as your default human response to unfavorable situations and will never heed you again. Therefore, try to use such words on them, "There were mistakes in your last write-up, but I took the pain to correct them. Try not to let it happen again." Such words will affect your relationship with them positively.

2. Correct Their Mistakes by Encouraging Them "I seriously don't like this write-up. It's awful! " That's the default kind of statement you make any time you get sub standard content from a team member. But in case you don't know, this type of statement does a lot more harm than good... almost certainly not to your business, but to the overall health of your team. Your words, in spite of how you feel, must always make your team feel more effective.

3. Forgive and correct their errors by inspiring them Our actions and words define how others view us, whether they are right or wrong. Therefore we must take great measures to guard our actions. Imagine using such words on a team member, "This work is full of grammatical blunders; I might dismiss you for this!" The rebuke might serve to correct the person at the moment, but on the long run you have an enemy who will begrudge you of the spite and continually tries to find a way get you into that kind of mistake and see you disgraced. At closer evaluation, your team members will not be as effective as they ought to. Therefore, kind words and showing examples goes a long way in bonding your team members to you.

4. Let your team know that you care by pursuing an out of work relationship with them A team member once lost his parent and requested that another member take charge of his duties. When he returned, I paid him for the work he was supposed to do, not minding that I also paid the other team member who had performed his task. He was so grateful that he put in his best and worked some overtime and requested not to be paid for the overtime. Now tell me if I didn't get my money back and also earned his loyalty?

Now I'm not proposing that you must consistently do this, but when an issue other than business crops up in their day-to-day lives that demands your attention, give them that attention. It'll raise the admiration they currently have for you and would make them feel like they owe you. Any time you receive a personal email from a team member, it will show that you're approachable. Take advantage of that rapport, but don't get much too involved.

Though we may have doubts that associating with members of our outsourced content team will definitely make them take you for granted. Nevertheless, the rule is that you must place some restrictions when dealing with them. When you interact with every member of your content team you have created a bond of belonging and they will see the team as a large family united by their service. This will make work fun to them and give room for improvement of your organization. Business is all about positive results, right? Therefore, seek out the services of another content manager who can work with your virtual content team if you realize that you don't have what it takes to achieve your goal.
