Great writeup
As for your questions...
I love outsourcing because it allows a single person to essentially have an entire team of web designers, SEO specialists, PPC managers, programmers, designers, etc. at their disposal. I ran a large SEO service and started to outsource a lot of the work when I had a kid because I wanted to spend time with him. Sure, I made less money but the stress of handling all the work was lifted because I now had a massive team doing everything for me lol.
The one downside is that you have to vet a lot of the people you're outsourcing to because you will likely find a lot of bad services if you're trying to save money while doing this. I wasn't too worried about the profits, so I didn't run into too many bad service providers, but I still had some that I had to cut ties with because of sloppy work.
Literally, everything now unless I want to get my hands dirty lol. I have an SEO website, logo design site, web design site, and a few others that are primarily run by outsourced help. I get an order, purchase from a freelancer that I've been using for a while, and send the completed work to the client when it's finished. I even have some freelancers that log into my systems and send the work directly to the client themselves and handle all the communications because they know I'm going to consistently send them work lol
The power of a freelancer is immense when you think about it. You could be a single person show but seem like a fortune 500 company if you have the right freelancers to outsource work to. You can find amazing designers and programmers for much cheaper overseas than what I can find in my own town, which saves me money when it comes to hiring, and I'm able to offer my own services at a cheaper rate with brings in more clients that stick around forever because no one can compete with "my" level of quality and pricing
I wouldn't be able to run my agency, or any of my websites if I wasn't able to outsource to freelancers that white labeled their services. If I were stuck doing this all myself, or hiring a full-time team in my area to do it, I would be overworked and broke because there aren't enough hours in the day to do everything and the price for a programmer here is $60,000+ per year. Hiring a good SEO specialist, Programmer, Designer, etc. would be at least $200,000 a year, and that's more than I make through all of my websites combined lol
