Think it's impossible to cut costs AND maximize results? Which tasks are consuming too much of your time? Consider hiring freelancers or contractors that specialize in the areas that you need help so you can focus on the tasks that you enjoy and generate revenue. They are already highly skilled in the services you need which alleviates the need for training. When hiring contractors you'll also save big by eliminating the high costs for full-time and part-time employees. Employees bring the added costs of benefits, taxes and social security - don't forget worker's compensation and other areas needing benefit coverage.
Not sure if you can trust a contractor? Where do you find the right one? Word of mouth is always the best route. Make sure your contractor has liability insurance and the necessary documents to work. It's also a good idea to request a proposal and example of work. You should always have a contract signed by both you and the contractor plus a non-disclosure agreement, if needed in your specific industry.
