I currently pay
someone to format
all of my book files.
Outsourcing that task
allows me to concentrate
on other things.
The issue is…
there’s been an error,
often a different error,
in every file he’s recently sent me.
He’s busy
and it take him weeks
to fix these files.
It is easier for me
to figure out what went wrong
and fix them myself.
Six book releases later,
I know almost all there is
to know
about formatting eBook files.
So why am I paying him
for this task?
If you constantly make errors,
you’re forcing your client
(internal or external)
to learn your job.
Eventually,
they will be better at your job
than you are
and they will
no longer need you.
