Growing A Global Podcast Network To Millions Of Downloads With Freelancers

Background

SPE is the home of the SuperPower Up! Podcast Network, which boasts more than 1 million downloads per month in over 90 countries. 

They cover a wide range of personal development topics including business, parenting, high vibration, consciousness, healthy living, empowerment, spirituality, religion, human potential, and many more. Listeners can self-select shows and topics of interest to them and can learn around their busy schedules. 

Scaling Up With FreeUp

The SPE team has been partnering with FreeUp to connect with high-quality freelancers since March 2017. Tonya and others at SPE use FreeUp to find and hire freelancers for a wide range of remote projects—everything from data entry to strategy. 

Originally, SPE started outsourcing to freelancers through the FreeUp marketing for entry-level skills and basic email communication. They’ve continued to grow their outsourcing infrastructure from there ever since. 

Now, the entire SuperPower Up! Podcast Network is almost exclusively run by freelancers SPE found and hired through FreeUp. 

FreeUp helped change the Super Power Experts business. “Without FreeUp, we would never have scaled,” Tonya said. “We were able to create in just three years what most in the podcast space can’t accomplish…ever. Through FreeUp, we were able to crack the code on scaling in a unique way.” 

Why FreeUp

According to Tonya and SPE, the benefits of FreeUp are too many to name. But if she had to narrow it down, Tonya said, “The ease of use, the always-outstanding customer service, and the quality of freelancers are the main things I can pinpoint that keep us coming back.” 

Hiring freelancers through FreeUp helps SPE grow with more confidence by removing much of the inherent risk of outsourcing. The application and vetting process FreeUp puts freelancers through helps clients feel more comfortable and confident in their outsourcing decisions. 

Tonya said, “By absorbing the risk of losing time, money, and momentum for the business, FreeUp makes it easy to say yes to incorporating them into the business.” 

At this point, SPE uses FreeUp almost exclusively for hiring remote freelancers for any outsourcing they may need. Tonya said, “As long as the project can be handled virtually, we can usually fill it through FreeUp.” 

SPE also loves to be a training ground for bright freelancers. They are happy with how FreeUp and its focus on culture manages a big part of the selection process for them. 

Freelancers who are eager to learn tend to fit in best at SPE, so once FreeUp evaluates the applicants for specific aptitude and willingness, the rest feels easy.

Advice For First-Time Outsourcers

Tonya highly recommends FreeUp to business owners, whether they’ve considered outsourcing previously or not. 

She has some poignant advice for those jumping in:  “Take ownership. No outsourcing solution is a magic pill. If you don’t know your business well enough to delegate, then you can’t scale it. If you allow the process of working with FreeUp to do what it does, outsourcing can grow you and your business.” 

Conclusion

Super Power Experts has plans to continue to learn, grow, and scale. And FreeUp—by providing a resource for finding and hiring pre-vetted freelancers—will continue to be an integral part of that progress.
