Creating consistently high-quality content on the regular is a tall order for any business. So, how do the most successful get it done? First, they have a content strategy in place. After that, it all boils down to whether they insource or outsource that strategy, including planning, ideating, writing/creating, publishing, and promoting. In other words, who is doing all the work? Who is in the trenches creating that brand’s consistent content presence on their blog, social media or video channels? As you’ll soon see, neither insourcing nor outsourcing is inherently better. There are pros and cons associated with each option. Let’s look at the definitions and compare them so you can choose the right route for your brand.  Insourcing vs. outsourcing content: What’s the difference? Insourcing means you use people and resources within your company to create content. Outsourcing means using people and resources outside your company (i.e., hiring an agency or freelancers) to create content. Insourcing (Using in-house talent and resources) When you insource content creation, your business must have a content strategy that guides a team of in-house people who create all your brand content.  These people might belong to a dedicated content marketing team with defined roles like content manager, content writer, social media manager, editor, etc.  Or, if your resources are limited, you might have everyone inside the business contributing to content creation in some way in addition to their other roles. Pros of insourcing content creation Build stronger, smarter teams Creating content makes your team(s) smarter and better at content, plus a range of skills like researching, writing/communicating, strategizing, analyzing and tracking data, and more.  The people who create the brand’s content get intimately familiar with the brand itself and all of its parts that matter:  The audience and value proposition. Their overarching differentiator. Their voice and style. The deeper benefits of their products/services. Save money long-term The initial investment in insourced, in-house content marketing may be larger, but the savings you’ll enjoy in the long run will make up for it. Generally, the initial investment would involve skill-building (courses, training) for your team members, tech and tools like SEO and keyword research software, and maybe even resources for hiring another full-time team member (such as a content manager). How will you save money over time? Once the skills, expertise, and strategy are in place, your team should be able to produce amazing content that earns real results at triple the rate of traditional marketing while costing 62% less. You won’t have to funnel more money into content marketing to scale your efforts. You won’t have to waste time searching for competent freelancers to hire or rely on an agency that produces generic content. That means, in at least 6-12 months, your investment should start paying for itself.  Source: Demand Metric Enjoy complete control over your content  If you hire an agency, the amount of content they create for you depends on a contract and an agreed-upon number of content pieces produced per month or week. While this is great for many reasons, it’s not so great for flexibility. That’s why insourcing earns the advantage here. Your insourced team can pivot with content much more quickly because they won’t be bound by any contract that says X number of blog posts must be produced monthly. For example, maybe one month, you find it’s necessary to scale back blog posts so you can focus on creating new lead magnets. Maybe you find a great keyword but need to write an epic, 3,500-word article on it to rank, which would replace two or three shorter posts. Or maybe you find it would be best to update and republish old content for a month or two.  You couldn’t quickly pivot and do any of that with an agency. But your in-house team could. Get the daily newsletter search marketers rely on. Cons of insourcing content creation You need a solid content strategy in place To insource content marketing, you need to know what you're doing. You need someone guiding the ship who can steer it toward success. And that's impossible without a content strategy in place. Building a content strategy is no mean feat, either. You can do it, but you'll need to invest time and money to learn what goes into it and what should come out. Attempting to insource content without skills, knowledge, or a strategy is a disaster in waiting. Everyone who touches the content needs a high level of skill Speaking of skills and knowledge, content marketing, including content creation/production, is a full-time job.  The sheer expertise you need on your side pushes many businesses to default to outsourcing. You need, at a minimum: Effective writers/communicators/creators who can connect with your audience through words or visuals, share expertise, and clearly demonstrate the business value and benefits for customers. (Writing is the top outsourced activity for marketing professionals, which means having this skill inside your business is both a differentiator and an advantage.) A smart content manager who can plan, ideate, and implement a content strategy, manage a content schedule, track results, and hit goals. A skilled strategist who can help build the brand's SEO and online presence. To be effective, there's a ton of skill and experience needed in each of these roles – and some businesses can't justify the up-front investment of either hiring in-house experts or getting training for their teams. The initial investment can be spendy Let's say you run a small business with a team of five people. You're considering insourcing content marketing, but your team lacks experience and knowledge. To get to a place where you can build, implement, and execute a content strategy, you'll need a large up-front investment in things like: Courses and/or training on content marketing, strategy, and management. Courses and/or training on content writing. Courses and/or training on SEO. Tools to implement and execute content marketing, like SEO tools, content management software, a content calendar, and more. Potentially, the resources to hire a full-time content writer or content manager. It can be a lot at once, so many small businesses understandably default to hiring outside expertise to help them implement content marketing. Let's look at outsourcing in-depth to see the differences. Outsourcing (Using external talent and resources, like an agency) When you outsource content creation, that means you hire outside talent and resources to implement and execute your content strategy. That includes ideating and planning content, writing/creating content, and publishing/distributing content. One of the most common ways to outsource content is to hire a full-service agency that completely takes over your content marketing from strategy-building to promoting finished pieces. Additionally, you can hire freelancers to take on specific projects, short-term roles, or one-off content pieces. For instance, you might hire a freelance content writer to create three months' worth of content for your blog. So, what are the pros and cons associated with outsourcing? Pros of outsourcing content creation Choose the solution that fits your needs No matter your sophistication with content marketing, there's an outsourcing option for your needs. Need the entire content marketing process handled? Hire a reputable agency. Need just content creation taken care of? Hire a freelancer or an agency, or sign up with a writing platform, depending on your budget. Most companies (47.06%) hire reputable freelance writers when they outsource, according to a Semrush survey. If you don't have much time to vet and hire talent, you can also get on a freelance platform where thousands of writers, editors, strategists, videographers, graphic designers, and more converge to look for work and bid on jobs. Relatively low start-up costs and quick turnaround The costs to start outsourcing right away are pretty low. Technically, you could find a freelancer with decent skills on LinkedIn, Indeed, or Upwork tomorrow, agree on a flat rate and get your completed content piece within a week. Easily scale when you're ready It's also relatively easy to scale outsourcing – you just need to pay more money to hire more freelancers, or pay an agency for an ongoing contract.  It should also be pretty easy to find freelancers, as the job market is glutted with them. (By 2027, the majority of the workforce in the U.S. will be freelance!) Cons of outsourcing content creation Inconsistency or unreliability You know what I'm about to say if you've ever hired a freelancer and had a bad experience. Anyone can call themselves a freelancer and present a fluffed-up resume to impress. That doesn't mean they can deliver. You'll often end up with bad content, missed deadlines, or someone who ghosts you after you hire them. Roughly half of companies outsource content writing, but one in ten stopped outsourcing because the results didn't measure up. Your outsourced team will never have the deepest knowledge of your brand  An outsourced team is constantly in flux, often without your say. If you hire an agency, you may never even speak with the people writing your content, and various people may shuffle in and out of your projects without your knowledge. That means you'll never have a creator working with you who knows your brand inside and out, has learned from you and your team, and knows your audience, goals, brand voice, and other factors intimately. This type of expert has a deep advantage over a freelancer who merely touches your content briefly and then moves on. The long-term hire will produce 10x better content just because they have the chance to learn and grow with your business. Many writers become subject matter experts over time – about the brand they write for and the industry the brand represents – simply because researching and writing builds their cache of knowledge so effectively. That means the longer a writer works for you, the better they become for your business. Outsourced creators have little to no motivation to stay loyal to you When you rely on outside help to create content, especially unvetted freelancers, it's ultimately a gamble. Most likely, that freelancer has multiple clients and projects going on at once. They may be freelancing on the side to supplement their full-time job. It's in their job description to come and go. That means, when you find a freelancer who's a great fit, that's no guarantee they'll be available to create content for your brand in the future. They have zero motivation to show loyalty to you, unlike the writer or creator you hire (or train) to dedicate themselves to your business and team. Should you insource or outsource content creation? Now that you know the difference between insourcing vs. outsourcing content creation, which should you choose? To sum up, insourcing is better if: You have the resources to make an up-front investment in your content team. You have buy-in from everyone in your organization. Your team already has content marketing knowledge, or you're prepared to invest in it. You have a content strategy in place or have plans to build one. And outsourcing is the better choice if: You're a relatively new business and don't have the resources yet to invest in an in-house content team. Your team has zero content marketing knowledge. You understand how to hire and work with freelancers effectively. It would be very difficult to convince every level of the organization to invest in insourcing content. Lastly, if you dream of insourcing content but don't have the means quite yet, remember that you can always outsource content while you build the resources for insourcing.   Neither choice is inherently better, but one will be smarter for your business in specific moments of growth, and that can change – so choose wisely.

a list of things that make me happy
Singing to my heart's content
Exercising
Learning something by myself
Talking to my closest friends
Donating/helping others understand something
Reading something motivational
Eating delicious food
Taking long bus rides while listening to music
Proving myself wrong
Expressing myself
Now that I think of it, I AM HAPPY without any input from others or maybe I have no other choice but to be happy for myself. I can't understand why I don't realize that nobody completes me except me all along. I'm now thinking how tiring it is to insource my own happiness that I want to shift the responsibility to a future boyfriend, my family, my friends, or anyone else except me. I'm tired of being alone in my search for the ultimate contentment in life. I wonder if I am struggling right now because in nature I am so dependent. I never really tried to do the things that I need to do on my own, and I am given this test in a different way. It is tiring to be responsible for your own life sometimes.

Outsource Translating Service And Why You Should Consider It
If you're looking to save money and speed up time, consider using an outsourced translation service. You can save time and money while ensuring quality. In addition, an outsourced translation service is cost-effective, especially if your company is small and doesn't have room to hire additional workers.
Insourcing and outsourcing your translation services should be based on the level of need of your company. If your translation needs are small, there is no need to hire translators and maintain them on staff. The administrative costs of managing them can be prohibitive. Similarly, if you need high-quality translations quickly, it is better to outsource the job to a specialized agency.
Outsourcing translation to a professional agency increases your business' credibility with the target audience. Outsourcing translates your content into a more professional, polished, and effective way to attract new customers. Outsourcing is the most cost-effective way to expand internationally. Outsourcing your translation needs to a translation firm allows you to expand your business without sacrificing quality or accuracy. With these benefits, you'll be glad you made the decision to outsource your translation.
If you don't understand the language, you should hire a professional translation service provider. You'll save a lot of money if you don't have to worry about hiring the right translators. In addition, hiring a professional agency will help you to get the best results. By outsourcing your translation needs, you'll get the benefit of expert staff that is familiar with your industry.  
Another key feature of a quality translation company is transparency. When you work with a translation company, you'll have a direct view of the translation process, allowing you to track its progress. Quality translation is characterized by consistency, including carefully chosen terminology. To achieve consistency, translation agencies have a single source of truth - a translation memory, term base, and style guide. Regardless of the size of your translation project, the quality translation should be consistent and error-free. For more details visit: https://globalinterpreting.com/business-translation-services

Should the stage equipment required for live performances be purchased or leased?
Live performances are part of the wider live events market, and what is usually done is a temporary installation of sound stage equipment hardware to tour in different locations. Therefore, rental and support services are a common factor in venue audio supplier solutions. SHIZHAN Group will tell you about the equipment required for live performances. Stage truss purchase and stage truss rental, which is better?
Given that the show is all about experience, one might think that the show makers would spend more money on various parts of the show, one of which is the various sound equipment. Sound, lighting, video, stage, environmental effects, audience reaction, and even AR/VR can all play a role. So, the purpose of the study is to look at performance as a commercial activity and what it means for service providers. Here are some of our thoughts:
First, the live shows are going well, and the experience economy seems to be playing a big role. Ticket sales figures from companies like Builder suggest that concerts and live performances in the U.S. generate more than $10 billion a year in revenue. And, as consumers are increasingly willing to pay more for a show, the average ticket price keeps rising.
However, this forecast shows that the Americas, a live event in the field of sound equipment solutions, will fall from $10.2 billion in 2018 to $8.6 billion in 2023. This is a fundamental change when it comes to investment in entertainment facilities, and more funding is expected to be devoted to permanent, integrated solutions rather than temporary solutions for live event producers. This view is further supported by the producers' own data.
According to a survey by the producer group, many of the resources required for technical management and use are in-house. Also, their level of investment in owning hardware (as opposed to leasing hardware) is on the rise. Funding concerns even extend to the middle and late stages of show production, which is often outsourced for installation and operations. But, unlike traditional productions, the good news for solution providers is that they are more involved in upfront TV demand. This is a dream for many integrators because of its obvious impact on project scope and budget.
Logically, content ultimately makes sense. Given a good experience, the production company is clearly using its own funds to add certainty to the outcome. Seeing owning equipment and employees as a way to control for the unknown can better ensure performance. The downside is that the constantly changing nature of the technology and the complexity of effective utilization make it difficult for manufacturing companies to keep hardware and support skills up to date. Service providers do exactly that.
Ultimately, it is these advantages, combined with flexibility and a spirit of excellence, that will enable suppliers to play their part in the face of increased insourcing. Also, the growing ownership of equipment and employees doesn't mean that producers aren't looking for solutions, it's just that the nature of those solutions is changing. Audio support vendors have begun to adapt to this environment.
Based on interviews with the vendor community, many serving the performance space use different languages to describe themselves. Rather than claiming to be strictly live event companies, the companies hinted that they were more of a rental model and listed themselves as sound equipment integrators. Although the information contained in the label is subtle, it also shows the focus of the company and also communicates information to the market about the skills they offer. For performance makers looking for a more permanent solution, using an integrator's label can provide different, and perhaps welcome, information.
Stage truss purchase and stage truss rental, which is better? We trust you have already got your problem of you own.
Anyway, as we often say, to win business, you have to offer a variety of products. That way, no matter what approach you take to develop a healthy performance market, you'll have a great outlook and a lot of success.
SHIZHAN Group has the complete production line from tube and accessories production, to finished product, a strong R&D team of 20 engineers, a professional QC team of 10 engineers, many welders with more than 10 years experience and CNC finishing center. With the 6S management, strict online production and inspection, final product erection test for each order, we guarantee the product precision and quality, make sure to deliver the perfect product to customer.
As a leader stage trusscompany, SHIZHAN Group was awarded the honor of Wuxi Technology Center by government, and passed the certificate of CE, SGS, TUV, BV, ISO9001. Our product export to more than 150 country. SHIZHAN Group focus on to be your reliable partner, let’s cooperate together to show the beauty of the world, make safer performance.

The Advantages of Hiring an SEO Agency
If you're currently engaged in SEO and are looking to begin, a typical concern is whether to outsource your SEO tasks to an agency. Control and financial issues may discourage you from outsourcing, but in actuality outsourcing, your SEO to an agency may be a more effective alternative. Many times managers opt to take the DIY method to save money, but find themselves in the middle, and wasting both time and money. It's not that insourcing isn't the best option to consider, however, if in the middle here are some reasons why it's advantageous to work with the services of an SEO agency.
It will save you time
It's a luxury majority of management and business owners don't have, especially when it comes to strategies as time-consuming as SEO.
SEO is a constant procedure that requires a great deal of study, optimization, and maintenance. If outsourcing SEO with an agency you will have a team of experts behind your branding, allowing you to concentrate on other business tasks. This is the reason employing an SEO agency is a tempting option for many businesses. They focus on managing the search marketing campaign at all hours of the day.
An agency can take care of all the tasks that take up time for optimizing search, such as:
Search for keywords, and then coordinate pay attention to your company's KPIs
Customized meta-data optimizations for customizing
Keyword density and optimization of content
Strategic internal link optimization
Making changes to your website
Analysis of campaign data, reporting, and data-focused adjustments
Monitor for indexing problems and issues with SEO performance
You'll see all the results, however, your company won't need to think about fitting the marketing search into your busy schedule.
It can save you money
It is a large and continuous investment to fund the salary, software, and equipment required to put together an entire team of in-house SEO experts. One advantage of employing an SEO firm is that they are able to provide their vast resources and team for less than what it takes to keep an in-house team.
The cost to pay an external SEO business is a major turn-off for many businesses, but the significance of SEO in boosting the growth of your business and its incredible ROI makes it unavoidable to overlook.
Statistics from Statista a particular state that SEO is among the biggest ROI-generating marketing strategies available majority of 32% of marketers across the globe declare that it provides the best ROI, and 41% of them say it provides only a modest ROI. This means that one of the most significant advantages of employing an SEO company is that all costs are offset by the important revenue it generates.
Plus, the recognition of brands and the customer loyalty that SEO offers over time could be a great way for businesses to save money when trying to get similar results using other strategies like search PPC, paid ads commercials, etc.
Benefit from the Industry Expertise
The agencies offer different experts, such as SEO experts web developers, and content writers who are able to tackle specific scenarios. Within an SEO agency, every person is focused and is able to bring the most effective outcomes to your business.
Engaging an SEO firm means that you will get information from experts who specialize in SEO with many years of experience and who are more knowledgeable than you.
Search engines such as Google or Bing are continuously releasing new features (dozens, or perhaps hundreds per year) which can make it difficult for businesses how to stay on top. And, even more importantly, they could make businesses lose significant traffic, without knowing the reason!
Here's the reason why employing an SEO agency can aid you in a way that is no other than professional expertise:
Agency experts can keep an eye on forums and news channels in the industry and competition for information on algorithm changes and their effects on rankings in SEO.
They can check your website's health for problems related to indexing, drop in traffic or rankings-loss, manual steps, and other issues.
They are able to identify issues and identify the root of algorithmic penalties and drops.
They can offer direction and advice on development to solve issues.
Experts have access to the most recent technology and platform for the industry. They are able to utilize the best of them. They also pass this knowledge onto you and your company.
They've had experience with Brands Like Yours
SEO Agencies have experience with various industries and clients and have a thorough understanding of the best strategies to use. They've been through many years of trial and error as well as extensive testing across a range of business environments, which means they're ahead in determining what drives results.
Why should you hire an SEO agency rather than doing it yourself? Who knows your company more than you do?
An agency may have worked with numerous other brands similar to the ones you have, in your field. They've assisted other companies to get into the ranks of the page on results from search engines. They're able to make it happen for you. They know how to integrate your needs with their strategies to create an entirely customized campaign.
They could point to their own client's study on SEO to illustrate proven strategies.
They could rely on research into keywords, competition analysis, and even content that is effective.
They will determine the KPIs and the audiences that are important to you, and they know how to create SEO to target these.
They also have the ability to develop strategies for business-to-business (B2B) eCommerce services-based marketing, software, content publishing, and many more.
They can target "search intention" to ensure that they are targeting high-value, ready-to-convert audience members at any stage of the sales funnel.
Better Efficiency
The agencies have a close-knit team of experts who can design an SEO strategy and then implement it at the same time. With SEO specialists, website experts and content writers Agencies have the staff and resources to seamlessly make adjustments. Since they're constantly working on your site the updates can be completed faster and urgent changes are implemented on the spot.
Stay on top of the latest trends
SEO is always evolving. Strategies that worked in the past may not be as effective today, which is why a crucial element of SEO is to stay up to date with the latest developments and algorithm updates. SEO Agencies dedicate the time that most firms don't have, to research and keep track of trends.
Security For Your Business
SEO is dangerous if you're not certain exactly what you're doing, which could open the possibility of penalties for search as well as hacking, spam, and other issues. One reason that employing the services of an SEO agency makes such sense is because SEO agencies are aware of what to look for to prevent any negative consequences and to ensure that your site (and rankings) are secure!
Choosing an SEO agency is an excellent option for certain businesses, however, it is crucial to keep in mind that not all SEO agencies are made equal. If you decide using an agency for outsourcing is the right choice for you, be sure you do your research. Pay attention to any company that offers guarantees or something that seems too appealing to be true, in any way (these are the warning signs).
Experts can help.
Agents are able to have an in-house team who can keep track of tools such as Google Search Console, Bing Webmaster Tools, Google Analytics, and more to watch for any major issues. Errors like black-hat attacks, bad backlinks, manual actions, security vulnerabilities, etc. can cause major problems If you aren't aware of what to look out for. Additionally, another advantage when you hire an SEO firm is that they are able to watch for "brand security" and help safeguard your company from bad publicity as well as competition popular SEO misconceptions, and many others.
Gain Access to Valuable Data and Analytics to Grow Your Business even more
The capability of SEO to boost traffic to websites and boost sales is well-known and has a lot to say However, the seldom-reported benefit of hiring an SEO firm is the additional things you can get free of charge: data! no cost Data!
Not just this, but also professional insight from that data will allow you to can utilize it to improve every aspect of your company.
Many companies already utilize statistical data to comprehend their customers as well as to grow their business. Most businesses already utilize tools for data analytics like Google Analytics to monitor their website traffic, and also KPIs. Why should you hire an SEO firm for this? They'll be able to digest the information you require to refine your overall web strategy and they'll be able to tell you precisely how to integrate those data points into the SEO campaign they manage for you.
Think about what a digital marketing team could do:
Help you determine your ideal customers, and use tools for keyword research to align your strategy for keywords with the target audience.
Find out which multi-channel strategies benefit your company the greatest (like Facebook, Google Adwords and blog content, and so on.) through referrals and growth of backlinks.
Be aware of concepts like " search intent" to target precisely those who are ready for conversion.
Check the data on clicks including impressions, click-through rates, and click-throughs (CTR) to identify areas to improve the performance of pages and moreover, increase the performance of pages that are already performing.
Learn and comprehend the data in Google Analytics eCommerce reports to identify the areas where shoppers are attracted.
Separate areas of a website that have a more "bounce percentage" and plan strategies to prevent exits from the site.
Check the margins of traffic information to determine the signs of trouble where, and what to do to make it right before it's too late.
What content can be the reason for conversions and what's not?
These are only the most common examples. These are just a few examples of advantages of employing an SEO firm, particularly because of the fact that analytical data that is rich and thorough will help you comprehend the entire online marketing plan. This is not only about search.
You'll Get More Revenue and Sales
It may seem obvious, but it's important to reinforce. One of the primary advantages of employing the services of an SEO agency is the fact that it will bring you more results and generate revenue. It's not just a little. Many.
Research by BrightEdge shows the following: 40percent of internet-based revenue is generated through search engines and it accounts for over 53% of the total internet traffic! Leads from SEO have a closing rate of more than 14 percent and, in actuality, they're eight times more likely to be closed than leads generated by outside-bound strategies for marketing! In addition, businesses that rank on the first page of results will likely get more than 1/3 of all clicks! from all visits!
These figures show just how vital search optimization is in generating actual sales or revenue.
SEO is far too vital to be ignored. It's so important that the advantages of employing an SEO company are too significant to be ignored by large companies. The huge importance of SEO as a basis for business growth makes it not worth the chance of doing this incorrectly.
