We’re winding down the year 2011…

I hope you and your business had a very productive, great 2011 this year.

Hopefully, you reached all the goals that you set out to reach.

If you didn’t reach all of your goals it’s probably because you spread yourself too thin, or didn’t pick ONE promising project and only focus on that until completion.

Too many entrepreneurs wait until things are “perfect” before they launch a product or new web site or service.

Did you know this is the OPPOSITE of how most of the super successful entrepreneurs operate?

There’s an old joke about Microsoft that their mantra is “ship first, fix second”.

This is referring to them releasing software products (like versions of Windows) still with a lot of bugs yet they released them anyway so they could collect sales.

That same concept, to varying degrees, is what most big-money entrepreneurs do.

Do you know any super successful Internet marketers?

What do they all have in common?

I’ll tell you…

They are FEARLESS. They aren’t afraid for their projects to fail. Because they know they have a ton of other ideas that they can execute next.

They know when they release something for sale or try a new marketing campaign that it’s never going to be perfect right out of the gate and they will work to improve it once they get it out there and it starts getting results.

They understand that they can’t do it all themselves.

In fact, the really successful ones get others to do most of the work for them and they just come up with the ideas (the ultimate dream of any entrepreneur.)

They understand that CASH IS KING. Cash flow is everything. You must focus on “what will bring in the most cash next?” Without cash you and your business cannot survive. If you’re not MAKING OFFERS and asking people to buy stuff, you’re going to be in deep trouble.

They are HYPER-PRODUCTIVE. Even if they only work 3 hours a day, they are very productive. They have systems they use for brainstorming & creating mind maps, managing projects, and communicating with outsourcers that are doing all the ‘heavy lifting’ such as setting up websites, design, Tech stuff, and even handling their customer support.

So if you analyze all of that, here’s what you come up with…

Productive Idea Creation & Management -> Fast Implementation Via Outsourcing -> Make Offers Without Fear Of Perfection -> Quickest Path To New Cash Flow. REPEAT.

If you want to make 2012 your best year yet you MUST execute with some or all of these factors.

The one that will make the BIGGEST CHANGE in your life (I swear) is your ability to build an Outsourcing TEAM that will take your ideas and turn them into reality and even grow them for you.

I believe you will NEVER earn your maximum potential if you’re handling so many things on your own — like customer support, setting up sites, doing your own design, managing your own SEO and ad campaigns, and even creating your own products or doing product research.

ALL of that can easily be outsourced.

How would you like to have someone that LOVES working for you full-time, 40 hours a week? You fire over an email to tell them to do something…DONE. You think of something else… DONE. There’s a bunch of stuff that takes up a lot of your time and so you ask them to do it…DONE.

Suddenly you’re left to use most of your time just coming up with new ideas. Which is probably all you want to do anyway.

Well, what if you only had to pay that person $350-$400 US per month to do that work FULL-TIME for you? Yep, just $400/month. Total.

For the price of an electric bill & cellphone bill you can have someone busting their butt for you even while you sleep.

And if this person can produce more than $400 in revenue for your business in a month, then it’s like getting a full-time worker for free.

Well, how many of these workers do you want? How much money do you think you’d make in 2012 if you eventually had 10 or more workers like this working for you and helping you bring in more money?

You’d most likely make A LOT.

Then why aren’t you doing it? Maybe you’ve outsourced before, but probably like 99% of other online entrepreneurs you think “outsourcing” is about posting a job on eLance or Odesk.

True ‘Power Outsourcing’ is getting someone to work for you FULL-TIME. The irony is, I can hire people to work for me full-time for ONE MONTH for the same price most people pay for one small task on eLance.

I’ll teach you EXACTLY how to do this AND how to structure your business to manage the process so you can just focus on new ideas and hopefully watch your business have ACCELERATED GROWTH faster than you ever imagined.

So make 2012 your best year ever, MASTER Outsourcing and you’ll be well on your way. I’m a bit biased, but I believe my “Outsource Force” step-by-step training course is the best course on the planet for teaching anyone how to effectively outsource and grow their business in record time.

It’s the secret to my own success, so I know it works.

Check out the “success story” videos on my site and consider getting this course for yourself. This ‘insider’ knowledge would be great for you to use in 2012!

The Internet changes fast. Very fast.

Business models that are having success one day can be gone the next.

So let’s talk about what’s still working as of December 2011…

INFORMATION PRODUCTS

E-books, How-To videos, membership sites. Whether it’s teaching someone how to learn karate, build their own organic garden, or trade the Forex markets, people will always be willing to pay for information especially if it saves them the time to try and find it themselves and/or presents the information in a unique way.

The “Publishing” industry has been around for a very long time, and it’s not going anywhere anytime soon. It will simply evolve.

We’re seeing a major ‘shift’ away from physical info-products (DVDs, printed manuals, etc.) and more products moving towards ALL DIGITAL—downloadable PDF reports, online streaming videos, and MP3 audio files.

In the world of “instant gratification” the digital-delivery model solves that urge and provides lower costs for the business owner selling information products, since there is practically zero cost of goods in providing downloadable products, aside from any server bandwidth costs which are incredibly cheap.

The entire book industry is also going through a major shift with what Amazon is doing with the Kindle. More people are buying and downloading e-book copies of real books than ever, and this trend is only going to continue its explosive growth.

A powerful element of building a business around info-products is that it can be outsourced and you can simply hire someone else to not only write an e-book or special reports for you, but even to shoot video content.

SOFTWARE

Our entire world now runs on software. There are many opportunities to develop software for a variety of niche markets and needs.

We’re now seeing software in different formats (all of them are having degrees of success):

• Mac or PC desktop software
• Web-based applications
• Mobile & Tablet applications

Software fortunes are being built every year by entrepreneurs that cannot program a single line of code. So it’s another great business model that can be outsourced.

A software business essentially has TWO primary roles: Programmer and Designer.

User Interface design is critical for success today. A good-looking, user-friendly piece of software will often out-sell a more complicated, more robust competing piece of software.

CONTENT-ONLY WEB SITES

This is what I used to call “virtual real estate” sites. These are websites that are created to targeted certain keywords and niches and usually contain product reviews and articles.

These sites are monetized from AdSense, affiliate programs, and other advertising.

Since “content” is what the Internet is made up of, this model will always be around in one form or another. And it’s not just for “the little guy”.

Massive companies like Demand Media, AOL, Huffington Post, and many others are essentially a content-only website network. They’re just making MILLIONS from it while most small entrepreneurs are generating thousands.

Another business that can be completely outsourced and SCALED.

E-COMMERCE STORES

E-commerce is still thriving if not continuing to grow. Lots of opportunities to sell REAL products to people across a wide range of niche markets.

There are, however, many product categories that are being commoditized with lower and lower prices (and margins). So you’ll want to pick a market that has a higher margins and the products aren’t necessarily readily available at every WalMart and Target in the world, otherwise you might have a hard time generating much revenue.

Amazon.com has created some amazing opportunities for e-commerce store owners. Did you know you can now not only list your products for sale within Amazon’s website but they will store and ship your products AND collect payments and everything?

Lots of e-commerce store owners are having great success by having Amazon handle everything—they just focus on marketing and have their inventory shipped to Amazon’s warehouses. Amazon even handles customer support!

Definitely something you might want to look into.

PROFESSIONAL SERVICES

This is an area that’s often overlooked, yet can be a GOLDMINE for those willing to venture into this area.

There are millions of businesses that need a certain set of services:

• Content Writing
• Graphic Design; logos or websites
• Programming
• Market Research
• Data Entry
• Accounting
• SEO & PPC Management
• Lead Generation & Cold-Calling
• Social Media Management
• Customer Support

And much more…

There are companies out there making MILLIONS just by offer PPC Management services to other businesses. They manage campaigns and doing the keyword research for other businesses and take a percentage of everything they spend in AdWords. That alone is a great business that’s only going to get bigger.

The beauty of a Professional Services business is that almost every skill that you would offer to other businesses can be outsourced. Meaning you would just market the services (and you could even have others do that too) while others do the actual work for the clients. This is a tried and true model that’s been around for a long time.

AFFILIATE MARKETING

There is still a lot of money to be made as an affiliate marketer, but for 99% of affiliates, you’re not going to build much of a business only focused on being an affiliate marketer unless you build a huge network of Content sites.

Affiliate marketing is a great source of income when combined with other business models like information products, software, and professional services.

CLOSING THOUGHTS

There are obviously other business models that are still working, but the above ones are some of the biggest right now. Each one of those models continues to evolve but the core business is still the same.

You’ll notice a repeating theme for many of those…

I mentioned the model mostly runs on Outsourcing.

I cannot stress enough how much you MUST master Outsourcing if you’re going to build a successful business online. I honestly believe it’s THE single greatest factor in building and growing a successful online business.

LABOR has always been the critical component of leverage that has built fortunes. You show me a big successful company and I’ll show you one with 1,000s of employees.

Now that doesn’t mean YOU need to hire 1,000s of employees but you need to have people doing work for you if you want to have a great level of success. And it’s not something that’s scary or anything. In fact, you can hire ONE person (I’ll show you exactly how) to be a “Team Leader” that can manage others; whether it’s to manage 3 other people or 300. You’ll just deal with that one Team Leader person.

WEALTH HAS ALWAYS BEEN BUILT THE SAME WAY…

Step #1: Write a check.

Step #2: Cash a larger check in return.

THAT’S IT. That’s the ‘secret’ to all wealth building.

There’s no better way to do that than to leverage the work of others. Write a small check for their work and get back a larger check for what their work made for your business.

If you’re one of my customers or long-time subscribers that hasn’t yet gone through my “Outsource Force” course, you really NEED IT for your online business success.

Once you complete the course you’ll be 100 TIMES ahead of your competitors online when it comes to Outsourcing. And it’s funny so many marketers think they know how to outsource just by posting a job on eLance or oDesk or another site…well, that’s hardly Outsourcing.

Outsourcing is about building a WORKING, REPEATABLE MODEL THAT WILL SCALE YOUR BUSINESS FOR YOU.

It’s not just about having a task done for you to save you some time or some other one-off project. And those freelance sites are often 2-3 TIMES more expensive to have work done than what it costs if you learn the secrets of how to find workers that only want to work for you directly.

How would you like to have BETTER, FASTER WORK done by 3 PEOPLE for the cost of ONE? That’s exactly what you can learn to do…

And once you learn how to build and ‘run’ this scalable model you can take nearly ANY online business model and make it grow for you—Information Products, Software, Content Sites, Professional Services, Affiliate Marketing, and more.

If you want to make 2012 your best year yet, I strongly challenge you to MASTER OUTSOURCING. See how much you can get done in the New Year by not actually doing the work yourself! You’ll be surprised how FAST your business can really start growing. That’s when it becomes a lot of FUN and really just lets you spend more time on coming up with new ideas.

And let’s face it, that’s all we want to do anyway…just come up with new ideas.

Go get my “Outsource Force” complete course here.

It will be the best investment you ever make in yourself and in ANY future business idea.

3 years after starting my first successful online e-commerce store, I was exhausted, overwhelmed, frustrated and underpaid! Thanks to the original Stomping the Search Engines course, my website was ranking in the top 10 for most all of the major keywords we went after and sales were through the roof!

Unfortunately, this meant that I spent most waking hours answering the phones, e-mailing orders to vendors, and updating the website with new products and sales! This left little to no time for marketing and almost no time for sleep during our peak season. The site soon became a source of conflict, and I began to wonder if this was the entrepreneurial dream that I had signed up for!

But I have learned some tips about virtual teams and systems for your business that helped my business and they can help yours.

Out-task

One of the very first and important business tips I learned was that I needed to out-task. As long as I was answering the phones and processing orders, my business could not grow. Basically the premise is that if you can pay someone minimum wage to do a task and you choose to do that task, you are earning minimum wage. A good idea is to make a daily “To Do” list, and examine what you are spending your time on. If there are tasks on the list that are not generating income or making your business run more effectively, those tasks need to be out-tasked to someone else.

Systematize everything

If your business is dependent on you, you will never be able to take a vacation or enjoy the reasons you became a business owner in the first place. Create How To guides and manuals for each area of your business. This is a gradual process and not something that you do once only to forget about it. Set up your business processes and when there is a breakdown and an employee or contractor has to come seeking your approval or advice, update your business processes.

Set specific goals and tasks for everyone on your team

Have a weekly meeting and discuss the pending tasks and any issues that have arisen with those tasks. Always praise in public and criticize in private. Take this time to give positive feedback and to deal with any problems. Many times employees don’t bring problems to management because they think it is their responsibility to try to figure it out themselves. Such initiative is often good, but other times, there are problems that we as management have already dealt with and we can provide a simple solution in about 20 seconds!

Teach your team to out-task and supervise others

To be successful you will need a core team that supports you and can work effectively to get projects done with little to no input or guidance from you. If your team is not functioning, it’s your responsibility as the business owner to set up systems and procedures so that they can be successful. Everything does rise and fall on leadership. If you have great team member, but he or she is not able to give up some of their responsibilities and supervise others, then you cannot grow. One person can never do it all. Teach them to assign tasks to junior team members and how to effectively supervise their junior team members so that their time is freed up doing more productive things.

Have 2 people for each job

Although this may seem impossible in the beginning when finances are tight, as soon as possible, always have two people for every job. When out-tasking projects overseas, unexpected problems happen. Hurricanes (especially in the Philippines), power outages, kids get sick, and so on. By having 2 people trained for every task, you ensure that you won’t have to renege on the responsibilities you have already trained others to take over.

These are just a few tips that I have used in my business. As a mom of 7 children, a wife and a missionary, my life is busy. Your life is busy as well, so you can’t afford to not add what you can to make your business run easier and automatically.

Summary

• Out-Task.
• Systematize everything.
• Set specific goals and tasks for everyone on your team.
• Teach your team to out-task and supervise others.
• Unexpected things happen, so make certain you have 2 people for each job.

Last week I went traveling on a month long vacation. Part of what enabled me to do this for a whole month was knowing that my business is in the good capable hands of my two project managers!

Most business owners only require a few staff members to execute their online marketing. It usually begins with a writer. A link builder or publisher soon follows. And eventually a full-time webmaster and graphic designer come in handy. It is much easier to get things done quickly when your virtual staff is on-demand to your projects and you don’t have to continually look for and train new people.

Pretty soon five or more virtual workers are reporting to you and all looking for their next assignment! This soon becomes a full-time job for you! Instead of outsourcing or out-tasking becoming an easy thing that frees up your time, your virtual staff require new projects, feedback about their current assignments, or help resolving roadblocks on their current tasks.

It is time for a project manager!

A project manager can usually not be hired, but rather someone that you can train from within your company. One tip here: When looking to hire a project manager or to train someone to eventually become your project manager, look for someone that knows English and Excel. The workers that are experienced in SEO, link building, and writing, are not necessarily the best for the position of project manager. A project manager does not even have to know a lot about SEO in the beginning. Their job is to follow up with your staff and make sure the work is being completed on time. They also act as an intermediary and trouble shoot any problems that arise.

When your team grows to sufficient size to warrant it, you will soon find that there are not enough hours in the day for your project managers to get things done! When that happens it is time to teach them to delegate! Developing leaders within your organization is not as easy as it sounds. Not all people can delegate easily and not all workers can supervise effectively other workers. Just because your project manager can supervise and manage five people does not mean they can supervise and manage 30. Also the team that you build in the beginning of your business may not be the team you need to build your business further.

Time to Develop Team Leaders

Just as you took the time to develop your project manager, it is now time to develop your team leaders! A team leader has a variety of responsibilities including hiring and firing new workers. This is tricky as this is something even your project manager may not have done before!

Once your organization reaches a certain level, spending time hiring, interviewing, and training new workers is not the best of the business owner’s time. You can have a team leader for writers, a team leader for web assistants or publishers, and a team leader for your webmasters and graphic designers. The team leader should be a member of the team also. In other words, your team leader for writers should also be a writer themselves so that they understand all of the procedures that need to be followed.

When you are looking for new team leaders look for workers with initiative. Workers you can trust. On the day I left for my month long vacation my project manager and a web assistant organized a meeting with 14 of our writers.

The web assistant was getting frustrated with the writers not following procedures and she asked permission to organize a meeting to talk to all of them about exactly what the web assistants needed from the writers so that they could more easily do their jobs. The meeting was a huge success with a lot of participation from all and the best part about it was that I did not have to do anything. My participation was not needed or required!

If you are ready to take your business to the next level, the next step is usually to get systems and procedures in place so that you can outsource or out-task some of your routine duties. Remember, if you can pay someone x amount of dollars to do that task, and you choose to do that task, then you are earning that x amount of dollars!

If you are on the fence about outsourcing, now is the time to get off! Make a decision that you will build your virtual dream team of workers so that you can get more done faster!

FACT: Outsourcing and hiring people is a sign that your company is growing.

BIG PROBLEM: The following are problems people face when outsourcing:

Loss of Full Control – Yes, when you hire someone, they will do as you instruct; but they may not do it exactly as you do it. It will take some training, but in the end, if you stick with them, they will be loyal to you and grow your company.

Threat to Security – When you hire someone, they may have access to your passwords and such, and that is one of the reasons why people don’t hire…but guess what? You are lying to yourself for not expanding your business.

The biggest lie is: “Outsourcing will solve ALL your problems.”

Wrong! It will not solve all your problems, but it can solve a lot of them. But you have to know what you are doing. You can’t jump in with two feet, without knowing anything, or else you lose money and lots of time.

That’s where this video series comes in…

* Craigslist Outsourcing Secrets *

Over the last few years I have made it a practice to outsource as much as possible. This last month I was finally able to out-task one of the last steps of my routine tasks to my assistant and what a relief! As I write this I am traveling with my family (my husband and 7 children) for a month long vacation!

Learning to out-task your business and replace yourself is not something that is easily done. It is a process and something that takes time to learn, but once learned, the benefits are great!

Is your business completely dependent on YOU?

If it is, then you know what you have to do, outsource! Recently a family member was seeking some advice on how to start a business based on an idea she had. The problem was, she wanted to basically give someone a check to develop her idea for her and then just enjoy the profit.

My response was, “Don’t we all!” In reality things don’t work like that. The biggest mistake business owners make when they start outsourcing is that they try to hire one person to do all the tasks of the business owner. You either have to pay someone a whole lot of money to be YOU and do YOUR responsibilities, or you take the risk of everything being done incorrectly and you have to do it all over again with several different hires.

So what can we outsource or out-task?

Almost everything. But to different people.

Step one is to break your project down into different tasks.

Let’s say you want to write and sell an e-book. This one project can be assigned to multiple people. One person can write the e-book. Another can create the graphics and design. Another can edit and proofread it. Another can create the landing page sales page graphics. Another can write the sales copy for the landing page. Still another can program website and install the shopping cart and e-mail auto-responder series.

Each of these pieces of the puzzle of the project can be easily outsourced. It is your job as the business owner to map out the strategy and process and to put all the pieces together! Once you have a good project manager, your project manager can make sure your vision is carried out!

The second step is to clearly define the project and your expectations to the people you are outsourcing to.

It is not enough to say you want an e-book. You need to specify the page length, the target market (who they are writing to), the call to action at the end of the e-book, if you want double or single spaced, if it is a How To Guide or an informative history lesson and so on. Also know that everyone is different. You can provide the same instructions to ten different people and get ten completely different projects back all of them having some how interpreted your instructions in a different way!

The third step is to set a schedule.

You want to set a deadline and to check and review the work before allowing them to get too far ahead into the project. A lot of times the people you hire on oDesk or other outsourcing sites are juggling multiple clients. You want your project to take precedence so you can test your new hire out and either give them new work or go on to the next person.

Keep Track

As you do steps one to three, keep track of any problems or issues your outsourcing staff had. Record their questions in video or How To Guide form. Keep all your training material in an easy to access central location such as a specific project in Basecamp or ActiveCollab. When you hire new people, instead of having to create new training material from scratch, you can give them access to your training guides and just tell them to go read the training guides you have created.

Another way to do this is to set up a series of auto-responder e-mails. Every time you hire a new writer for example, add them to your e-mail list. Your training can be automatically delivered to them via e-mail. If you have created videos or powerpoints with audio, you can add your training material to a private membership site for your staff only! You can set it up so your new hires can automatically access everything or you can set it up so that each of them will receive specific daily training for the exact tasks you have hired them for.

In summary:

Training Your Outsource Team

• Break your project down into different tasks by specialty
• Define your project
• Define your expectations
• Set up a schedule
• Keep track of problems
• Make training materials from those problems

Next week, we will discuss how and when to find a Project Manager.

Pop quiz time. Which of the following three would you say is the reason your business hasn’t grown to the level you’d like it to be…

1. There are things that I don’t know how to do.

2. There are things that I don’t have time to do.

3. There are things that I don’t want to do.

You fall into one of those categories. Guaranteed. 100% no question about it. We all do.

For some people reading this e-mail, it’s #1. They struggle with some technical things that prevent them from succeeding. Or they don’t understand how to do things like generate traffic and build lists.

For others, it’s #2. They have a basic understanding of what to do, but they just don’t have the time to devote to getting it all done. After all, one person is one person…they can’t do the work of 20 people.

Still others find it’s #3. They find that there are things they can do to grow their business, but they just don’t like doing those things. They’d rather spend their time doing creative work than administrative work, or they’d rather spend their time managing projects than completing projects, or they’d rather spend their time golfing than working!

Whatever category you fall into, one or more of those things I just listed applies to you. You know you could grow your business (whether you’re making $1 a month or $100,000 a month) if you just had more knowledge or more time or more fun.

I’m here to tell you there is a way to overcome all three of these common problems. It’s called OUTSOURCING.

You can outsource EVERYTHING:

* Traffic generation
* List building
* Product development
* Website design
* Technical stuff
* Affiliate and partner recruiting
* Ezine article marketing
* Video marketing
* Customer service

The list could go on and on. It includes EVERYTHING.

You literally can outsource 100% of your business if you want to and have other people run it all for you.

Famed internet marketer Jimmy D. Brown has released a course that shows you exactly how to do it!

It’s called the H.A.N.D.S. Free Formula and it teaches you how to get other people to do as little or as much of your business activities as you want.

1. You can “hand off” a few minor projects that you don’t know how to do, don’t have time to do or don’t want to do.

OR…

2. You can use outsource vendors to handle 100% of your business operations if you choose to.

Need someone to setup your blog? No problem!
Need someone to get visitors to your site? No problem!
Need someone to grow your list for you? No problem!
Need someone to create a product for you? No problem!
Need someone to handle ANYTHING for you? No problem!

Every part of your business can be outsourced. As little or as much as you like. And it can be very “budget-friendly”. In fact, if you do it right it can actually pay for itself!

Get all the details here.

IMPORTANT: There is a “fast action” coupon for almost 50% off the regular price for the FIRST 250 CUSTOMERS ONLY. If you want a substantial savings (plus 7 other bonuses!) get there and grab your copy now.

I’m sure you’ve read about how Outsourcing has changed the lives and businesses of hundreds of people.

But for most people it was out of reach for many people (even me).

Well, now is your chance to get your hands on Operation Outsource Freedom by Adam James.

And no, it is not $97 or $47…He is giving it away for FREE!

Adam will tell you everything he knows about:

- The NEW WAY to outsource.

- How to use Virtual Assistants to do all your work for you.

- How to find workers that are willing to work for $1 a hour.

- How to find the best workers.

- How to get your team to create products for you.

And this is just the tip of the iceberg…

Don’t miss out on this. There’s no telling if or when Adam will start selling it. Download your free report now!

The sooner you see this the better!

Facts I learned from John Reese:

1. The most successful online marketers leverage inexpensive virtual workers.

2. There are tens of thousands of virtual workers wanting to work for you for as little as $2/hour.

3. Virtual Workers = They Do The Work, You Make The Money!

And now you can get first-hand coaching directly from someone that has mastered Outsourcing.

But John has limited seats available, so watch this video now and decide quickly.

I have a secret to that I want to share with you.

It’s actually a real secret, not some “everyone knows this” type of secret that you’ve heard of before.

It always turns out that most secrets are common knowledge found easily online, but this is different…WAY different.

You see, the video you are about to watch shows a person who used to be deep in debt, over $75,000 in debt when he first got started online in 1999.

He failed to make a dime for 4 years.

By 2003, he was doing over $10,000 per month, while he was working full time as a youth minister in a church.

In 2005 and 2006 he was doing over $5000 a week, EVERY week!

In his best month, he did over $106,000 all because of this ONE secret he used which hardly anyone is using or doing.

And now he does $80,000 to $110,000 in just one 72-hour time frame over a weekend.

Plus…he has sold over $2.4 million dollars worth of products and services online and he owes it ALL to using this one secret which he has become a master at.

Just know this…these results are not typical, but they are possible…

Look what others have said about this man’s stuff…

“After hearing you speak about outsourcing at the MSC I saw the light and I just hired my first Filipino worker last week. she started working for me on Monday, so I’m pretty excited!” – Alan Peterson

“How are you doing? Hope all is well! You would be very proud of me…lol! I am doing a lot more outsourcing for my business. I have article writers doing great articles for $2.50 each, I have a data entry type person working for $2.22/hour, and am just hiring a link building assistant at $1.67/hour! These rates are nuts and their work is good! I just thought I would let you know that I am doing more of this now!” – Paul Counts

“Outsourcing is a goal I recently set and your information was very helpful. I have a great need for outsourcing as my businesses have become way too much for me to handle well. The future looks great from here. Thank you again.” – David Clingo

“About 18 months ago I ran across a video you had online which led me to your site where I learned about outsourcing online marketing tasks to the gifts and talents of others. In that video you interviewed the Turners who were also trying to do it all.

They got emotional when explaining how your outsourcing secrets gave them their life back to be with their kids. That hit home for me big time!

I felt like a bag was lifted off my head and a monkey off my back. I read and listened to everything you had produced online about outsourcing and took action on it.

I now have 4 people overseas building and promot ing mini-sites for me. A blog creator/builder, a content writer/researcher, an SEO/Link Builder, and a video creator.

Together I pay them $700/mo. to do tasks much better than I could ever do and I have my life back.” – Randy VanderVeen

If you want to learn more about outsourcing your Internet Marketing tasks, this is NOT ‘just’ another resource. Through outsourcing Daniel Turner and Marc Lindsay have ensured their business will conservatively do $3 million in turnover this year, and $5 million if “everything goes according to plan”.

These pair of guys know what they’re talking about because they run several solid Internet businesses including Article Marketing Automation, a blog network of which I’m a member of.

The Outsource Method is a program consisting of 7 modules. I was lucky enough to preview the Module 1 which gives lots of background information about outsourcing, including the differences from out-tasking, why you need to consider outsourcing, what potential problems can arise and what future modules will contain. If the other 6 modules are the same standard as the first one, the Outsource Method will be a stunning product.

This program is definitely for everyone who, at the end of the day, thinks, “Damn it, I wish I had more time in the day.”

You will come away knowing how to leverage your time through other people’s efforts, allowing you to grow your business faster, and achieve more with less.

“I started my business so that I’d have freedom, but I’ve never felt more trapped…”

I come across a statement like that at least once a day on a forum post or in e-mail. You start your Internet business because of the freedom of being your own boss and working on your own schedule and then promptly sit on your hind-end for 12 hours/day EVERY DAY. No wonder you feel burnt out.  And no wonder family and friends are feeling neglected when all you can think and talk about is your business.

Freedom sounds pretty miserable to me if it means freedom from fun and the ones that I love.

So, how do you break free?

Start by taking a good look at your business and getting your goals and priorities straight. Don’t worry, it’s not nearly as complicated as it sounds. I’ll walk you through it right now. Ready?

Grab a pen and a piece of paper or open your favorite word processor. Divide your page into four columns.

Now you’re ready to brainstorm. Write everything down as it comes to mind. Don’t overthink this. Just start writing.

First, figure out what is working. Whatever it is. It may be one of your websites, your ecourses, a joint venture, a certain marketing method. Where is the bulk of your money coming from, currently? (If none yet, where do you believe will be the place where the largest profits will come from?) Write those items in column #1 under: “Do More”.

Second, figure out what is not bringing in money. Is it hanging out on forums or posting classified ads to freebie sites? Is it endlessly checking your stats, or e-mail? What are your daily time-suckers? Write those under column #2: “Do Less”.

Third, figure out what could work better. Do you have upsells in place? Are your websites designed to bring you cash from every visitor? Make a list of ideas in column #3: “Improvements”. (If you don’t know yet, don’t worry. There are plenty of ways to improve your business as you learn and grow.)

Fourth, figure out what can be automated. Which tasks are repetitive and boring, albeit necessary? Many of those types of tasks can be automated with simple tools. For instance, if you’re submitting articles to directories by hand, there are tools and services to do that for you. Add these to column #4: “Automation”.

Now that you’re armed with your list, it’s time to get to work.

Look at your list in Column #1: “Do More”. Those are the tasks that you should focus your energies on. It’s a good idea to tackle one or two of the tasks on that list first thing in the morning—every morning. Believe me, it’s much more productive than checking out your favorite blogs or logging into twitter. And you’ll be amazed at how much you can get done quickly when your mind is fresh.

Look at your list in Column #2: “Do Less”. These activities should be forbidden until after you get your #1 list done, if you do them at all. For instance, hanging out on Twitter is fun, but do not do it until everything in column #1 is finished for the day.

Now, go back to Column #1, 3, and 4. Your “Do More”, “Improvements”, and “Automation” lists.

Look at all of the items that are on those three lists. Now, circle each task that you …

• Can’t Do
• Don’t Have Time to Do
• Don’t Want To Do

Those are the tasks that you’ll outsource.

Freedom means a lot of things. It means freedom to do the things that you want to do. However, it also means freedom to NOT do things that you really dislike doing.

For me, it’s graphics. I have outsourced all of my graphics since 2001. I don’t have the time, patience or inclination to learn how to make my own graphics. I have more important things to do, like write this article and then go on a bike ride with my son. Perhaps when I get back from my bike ride, my graphics will be waiting for me in my inbox.

Now, that’s freedom to me.

Want to outsource but don’t know where to start? Nicole Dean and Jimmy D. Brown invite you to Outsource Weekly where you’ll learn how you can get free time (and earn more money) while others run your business for you.

When you are in business for yourself, especially one that is conducted online, you’ll find there are a number of different things for you to learn about that can save you time and make you money. Outsourcing is by far one of the more exciting things to discover and put to use.

All too common is the business owner who feels they have to do everything themselves in order for things to go smoothly in their online venture.

This couldn’t be further from the truth! In case you’re curious about why so many online business owners are singing the praises of outsourcing, keep reading to see just 5 of the many benefits it can obtain:

1) More Value For Your Time: When you own an online business, one of the most important things to remember is how much your time is really worth.

When you think about the dull or repetitive tasks that you are doing, you’ll find this work is not worth your high per-hour price tag!

When you outsource, you’ll pay someone else to take care of those responsibilities while you give attention to the more important, money-making projects.

2) Saving Resources: Think about everything that goes into the tasks that you would outsource. This will range from things like your time and space to costs such as Internet and software.

After a while all of these costs add up. For instance, graphics software can get quite expensive. If you are outsourcing an activity, you get more than just the task itself out of the way.

You will also get someone who specializes in areas of your business that you may not know quite as well as or have no desire to learn. More than likely these people will already have the tools needed to complete their assignment.

Depending on the project, this might save you money and learning time. This brings me to the next benefit of outsourcing.

3) Going To The Experts: The tasks you are outsourcing might be ones that you have no desire to learn about, whether they are troubleshooting, manufacturing, taking orders, website design and maintenance, or something else.

By handing the work over to an expert who enjoys and makes it their business to know these things, you’ll be able to take advantage of their knowledge in the area without having to learn it yourself.

This in turn will give your customers or clients more than you could possibly give them yourself.

4) Expand: When you outsource, you will soon realize that you are in a great place when it comes to getting more involved with your business. You will be able to expand and provide everything your customers need.

Outsourcing frees you up to try new things with your business, learn more and experience new aspects of your industry.

5) Accountability: When you outsource, you will have a contract with the person or company you are working with.

By having someone else who is depending on work from you, you are more apt to stay ahead of the game by planning better and making sure that your tasks are getting completed as well.

When you first begin learning about and implementing outsourcing techniques within your business, you’ll find out those boring or repetitive tasks can easily be handed off to someone who enjoys doing them.

This will allow you, as the business’ owner, to free up more time to concentrate on more important aspects of your business such as product creation, advertising, networking and other marketing practices.

These are the things that will help your business to grow even more profitable. That’s how you leverage on other people’s expertise.

Does your business look a little something like this today?

If it does, you definitely DON’T want it to remain as it is some years down the road. Unless you’re a glutton for long hours behind your PC or laptop, I’m betting that you would at least want to find out how it’s possible to generate more cash while doing less work, right? (As long as you at the top of the chart.)

My good friend Jeff Mills, an outsourcing expert and self-made millionaire, has shocked the community by spilling his guts in his new e-book, The Outsource Compendium.

Carrying on with our discussion about using the skills of other people to grow your business.

Firstly here’s an important part of this process that I forgot to mention last time.

As an individual, you have certain skills and abilities. You also have certain things that you suck at, you will always suck at them and even if you try it will take you a long time to learn them, and there’s nothing wrong with that!

Part of running a good online business as any business is finding the things that you are most skilled at and focusing on those things, then designating the tasks that you aren’t as good at, to people who are better at them! The result is a much higher quality output.

Moving on…

First, here’s the basic outline of the flow of events in case anyone isn’t familiar with it:

- You create an account at one of the main freelance services (RentACoder.com is a good place to start) and you post a request for bids on your project.

- As bids start to come in you select from them a freelancer who best suits the needs of your project.

- You communicate through the freelance site back and forth with the freelancer until the project is completed to your satisfaction after which time the remainder of a payment balance is forwarded to the freelancer signifying the completion of their work.

Here’s some tips on going about finding the best kind of people for a great price, whatever kind of work you’re looking for.

Consider the location. Don’t get me wrong, freelancers from developed countries are great but depending on the kind of work you need done, you’re often likely to get great offers from people in developing countries too.

I’ve had high quality work done by writers from the Philippines and Romania, coders from Russia, Egypt and India and so forth.

Like I mentioned earlier, you can get people from these countries who can do great work and are willing to do it for A LOT less than people from America, Australia or the UK.

Of course you can always use the sites feedback system to see whether the freelancer in question is of good quality and you can also test them with smaller but similar projects prior to hiring them for your main desired job. Doing this does as close as possible guarantee that you’ll get a high quality result.

Next tip, and this is a bit sly but it’s the truth: You want to assess the freelancers circumstances as well as their skill in the desired task.

You’ll come across young freelancers who accept projects in their university holidays and so forth—big no no! They’re always in between tasks, always have interruptions, you’ll rarely get your project done on time. My point being that you should have a look at the coders circumstances if you can, check out their profile, even don’t be afraid to ask them questions about their work on RentACoder etc.

Here’s the bit that sounds a bit harsh: Ideally you want to get people whose circumstances make them desperate to complete their work and get their money. It sounds harsh but for getting work completed on time, people with mortgages, kids to feed, debts to pay etc are the ones most likely to get their work completed on time.

Next tip: You can literally get ANYTHING done by freelancers…

A lot of people get stuck online because they get to a point where they don’t know how to complete a certain task—the thing is you don’t have to waste time deliberating over how to do it—you can have someone do it for you!

Once you get good at describing projects and negotiating for good prices you will be able to get any task done quickly and easily.

My last and best tip for using freelance sites is this—and it’s a bit controversial too…

The best thing you can do particularly when you find people who are good to work with is try to get some information by which you can contact them outside of RentACoder.

RentACoder in particular doesn’t like you getting the freelancers contact information because obviously they’d prefer you to keep buying projects from them from within RentACoder so you pay their fees and commissions. They’ll even sometimes close projects when you ask for instant messaging addresses within the conversation of the project.

What you can do is try to e-mail them personally to ask for their MSN, Yahoo, or Skype ID so you can talk to them.

The reason this is so good is because once you can contact them privately you have the potential to be able to negotiate ongoing work (instead of one off projects every now and then).

I have found a couple of our now full-time employees this way. They started out doing one-off projects, I got chatting with them in instant messengers and organized for them to do ongoing weekly work for a nominal fee—powerful stuff!

Well that should do it for today. I hope my tips have opened your eyes to the power of outsourcing and how you can find quality help in the pursuit to build a successful online business.

What I mean by this is finding people to help you make more money online.

Normally, as soon as we talk about hiring employees a lot of people switch off because they think they aren’t at the stage yet where such a move is financially feasible.

What we’re going to talk are some of the ways you can enlist the help of skillful individuals, that can seriously boost your online business efforts at VERY cheap prices.

I’ve written an e-mail alluding to this topic once before but I think you’ll find this one more than eye opening.

Firstly let me provide some general tips on starting to find people who can help you.

The first thing to realise is this: A lot of the skillful workers you can enlist are from 3rd-world countries where the cost of labour is only a fraction of what it would otherwise be in the United States, The UK, Australia, Europe etc.

Now contrary to popular opinion, this isn’t taking advantage, it’s not slave labour or anything else…I say it’s smart hiring!

For example in Romania the average wage is something like US$150 a month. If you are using skilled programmers from Romania and paying them $200 a month you’re making some VERY happy people!

Not to mention you’re getting great work done for the fraction of the cost. Ah, the beauty of the Internet.

The next thing you need to note is that you can employ people to get tasks done for you very cheaply. For example, if you can’t write, you can find a great writer for just a few dollars per article to take that task off your hands.

If you can’t setup WordPress blogs you can write your own content and pay someone a small fee to install WordPress blogs for you.

And so on and so forth. The great thing about the Internet is there is almost no limit to the things that you can have people help you with!

So now that you’ve recognized these fundamental points let’s look at the places you can begin your search for help.

Basically there are two good places to scout for help that we’ll look at today. These are Internet Marketing forums, and Freelance sites.

Let me firstly and quickly mention IM forums.

If you’re not participating in Online Marketing forums, even if you don’t sell directly to online marketers, you’re losing money. There are many reasons for this that we need not get into but the most valuable thing you can get from forums is connections with people.

With regards to finding people who can help you in your business, forums are a gold mine because there are countless people who have writers, coders, various errand runners of their own that they are often willing to share with you.

As you’ll learn, finding people from freelance sites like RentACoder can be hit and miss but when you get a recommendation from someone who’s already used them, particularly if that person is well known and trust worthy, you have a big advantage.

It’s a piece of cake to jump on to an Internet Marketing forum and post a thread titled “Can anyone recommend a writer/coder/blog creator/mysql database specialist?” etc.

You can have numerous options within hours of posting. Again, forums are a great place to start in the hunt for help!

Second, Freelance sites!

The next thing you have to do is get used to sites of freelancers like rentacoder.com, elance.com, scriptlance.com, guru.com etc. They are all great and house hordes of skillful individuals that are ready to help you grow your online business.

If you haven’t already, go to some of those sites and start and getting a feel for how the hiring and freelancing process works. Personally I use RentACoder, it has always worked well for me.

Generally you post a description of a project to a certain category on one of these sites and it gets opened to the freelancers of that category to post their bids on your project.

You can literally post any task you like, on a one-off basis or an ongoing basis.

The keys are to describe accurately what you want done and negotiate the right price with a good freelancer (‘good’ being based on the feedback score you can see that most freelancers will have).

These being the basics, let’s look quickly at what kind of tasks you can get freelanced.

If I were you this is what I’d consider getting outsourced:

1. Content Writing: I’ve spoken about this before. It’s so easy to get a great writer for just a few dollars per article on any keyword you wish. Article writing is too time consuming to be doing unless you really have to.

2. Content posting: I’d hire someone and give them the login details to your wordpress blog and have them post an article that you (or preferrably THEY) have written, even as little as once per week. Not having to worry about whether your blog is updated? Priceless!

3. Blog Creation: You could buy 10 domains for Niche Marketing On Crack type sites (which I hope you know about by now) then give a coder the FTP details and say: Install wordpress blogs on these sites with these details, this theme, these plugins and just let them go wild.

4. Link building: This is one I’ve done with great success. You can hire people who will contact other webmasters to try and exchange links with you. Better yet you can have a freelancer source out sites related to your niche from which you can buy textlinks back to your site, powerful stuff!

Anyhow I won’t bombard you with too much more information today.

This message is mainly an idea starter and an introduction on how you can start to use outsourced help to grow your online income no matter where you’re starting from.

We’ll talk more about this next time.

Check out just who Andrew Hansen is.

Generally speaking, the whole principle of dealing with online communities and Web 2.0 sites consists simply of 3 steps:

1) Create your account and login.
2) Write something as long as you leave your URL at the end.
3) Get out!

That’s it. The main motive is to leave a trail or footprints so interested visitors can follow all the way to your site and respond accordingly to your site’s message. I am especially excited that since joining StumbleUpon, I have been getting good traffic from the network and I have to credit Ian Fernando for coming up with the idea for a “StumbleUpon Exchange Project”.

The whole idea of this project is based on reciprocal review and ‘favoriting’, resulting in more traffic and more traffic = more prospects and sales. On a good day, I can have 50 readers based on the MyBlogLog stats. I only started out with Ian’s idea today by reviewing my own blog posts (a bit narcisstic and black-hat). Guess what? Within the last 5 minutes I have a stupendous increase by more than 200 readers. I don’t know where they all come from, but I think it works tremendously well. Just don’t overdo it on your own content but endorse others so you can get streams of visitors from other sources.

First of all, what are the benefits of being a favorite?

In general it provides social proof of your blog’s popularity. If it’s popular don’t you think others will want to read about it? When other members of the same social network endorse you, they are giving YOU unique targeted readers who will view and read your blog specifically for the information you provide. The results are multiplied.

Since now you know a little bit of what I have in mind, let’s start exchanging shall we?

Part 1: How To Exchange

1. The easiest way to exchange favs is to simply leave a comment about this post with your website’s URL in your name.

2. Fav my blog, this post and my main page. Once you favorite my blog through StumbleUpon I will do the same, or show me which pages you want me to review. Please give me some time if I do not fav your blog right away.

3. Add me as a friend, my SU nickname is webmastery within your network so you can easily check my favorites to see if I have fav your blog or site. If I have not done so please contact me, but please allow me some time as again I do not know what the reaction of this project may cause.

Part 2 Of StumbleUpon Traffic

1. Create a post on your blog announcing that you are participating in a StumbleUpon Exchange Project. Prominently include a link to this post to indicate that there is a similar exchange going on at Internet Mastery Center Blog. You can use any link text you want. I do however prefer that you make a new post on this topic instead of putting the link in a old post that is already deep in your archives.

2. You can copy the direction or modify it as you wish to fit your blog if necessary.

What Is The Main Goal?

Again the goal of this exchange project is to simply see if StumbleUpon is really a great traffic generator than the other social bookmarking sites. Is it that easy to get traffic like this for long?

Now other social bookmarking websites, you will need to be in the top X amount to get great traffic. With SU (that I have noticed), there is no such rating. There is a “Recently Popular Pages” page on the main interface, but it changes depending on the favorites that moment. Again, this is what I have experienced so far. If you have great ideas on how to tap on social networking as a group of people, please feel free to comment. As a Chinese saying goes, “Things are better done with more people.” Cheers.
