Please forgive me for harping on about outsourcing in so many blog posts recently. At the moment I’m going through the process of hiring new full time workers, plus John Reese is launching his Outsource Force program and giving away free videos on how to outsource, so this subject is a bit in focus for me right now.

If you haven’t caught the latest John Reese video, the third in the series talks about the six online business models and how you can outsource the tasks involved to make them work. I just finished watching the video, which I was very interested in because I wanted to know which models John would cover and get ideas about how I can better leverage other people to grow what I do online.

You can watch the video here (you will need to enter your email if it is the first time visiting the site) –

If you haven’t already, watch the first video, which gives an overview of the potential outsourcing offers, and the second video, which details the tools John uses to manage his projects and where he finds full time staff for as little as $300 US a month.

Here’s My Plan

Before I talk about the third video from John, let me briefly explain what I am doing regarding outsourcing. You can also read my last two blog posts talking about outsourcing to get a picture about how you can best leverage help from other people using outsourcing, even if you are just starting a new online business and have limited funds.

• If I Had To Do It All Over Again This Is What I Would Do Differently
• Why I Am Changing How I Outsource

My current staff situation results in latency issues when it comes to project execution. By that I mean I have several products I could roll out, and many improvements I could make to current projects, which I just haven’t bothered with because I don’t have the right team around me to make it happen. This is about to change.

My main goal is to build a team so when I need changes or when I want to start new projects I have no limitations in terms of the practical implementation. I want to reduce the barriers to taking action, so things like tech, design, seo and syndication are handled for me, so I can go to work doing what I do best – creating content and formulating strategies.

However I don’t want to take on the role of managing this team. I want to create instructions and come up with ideas, and then have my team go away and create output even better than what I was thinking.

Angela, who is my admin assistant, email support person and full time mother (not for me though – her husband Robbie), has graciously stepped up and agreed to become my first “team leader”. I’ve tasked her with the job of hiring our first two outsourcers from the Philippines, which she is finalizing by testing applicants as I type this article. She’s also studying some outsourcing resources I gave her access to from John Jonas and Tyrone Shum, and John Reese, once I get his new course.

Once Angela finds two quality people, we will begin working through the to-do lists I’ve created in Basecamp, the project management tool I registered for last week and spent several hours filling with tasks. This will hopefully clear the backlog of “lowest hanging fruit” opportunities that are sitting on my computer and inside my head, within the next few months.

For example, I have my ebook, the Ultimate Guide To SEO For Bloggers ready to go out, a physical print book created by a collaboration of Aussie based Internet entrepreneurs, including myself, that I’d like to make available to the public and the physical home study version of my two “mastermind” courses.

By the end of this experiment I hope the team will be nice and cohesive, so we can start new projects together and all enjoy the process of seeing them come to fruition. Most of all, I hope to learn what’s possible with outsourcing, and for me eliminating my immediate latency issues, is a good place to start.

What Online Business Can You Start With Outsourcing?

To end this article, here’s a run through of the six business models John Reese revealed in his third video, and what tasks he talked about that could be outsourced for each business model.

Note there was quite a bit of redundancy in each model, since all online business models require some of the same components, like a website for example, which you can outsource the creation of. In some models I left out duplications where I thought it wasn’t necessary to repeat the tasks that were listed in the previous models.

Those who share my belief in following signs in life won’t be surprised when I say that sometimes the sign-posts, the omens, even as they relate to my business, are slow to come to my awareness, while at other times there’s too many obvious indications that I just have to pay attention and take swift action. Often things build up over a period of months or even years, with small sign-posts opening up ideas in my mind, which eventually coalesce into a stream of repeat exposures telling me that it’s time to make a change.

Although I’ve outsourced tasks in my business many times over the years, I’ve never really embraced the whole concept of building a solid team around me. For the last few years that has been okay, because I’ve been developing projects that didn’t require too many components to make work (it’s a simple system that I reveal in the Membership Site Masterplan), nor have I worked on more than one big project at a time. I’ve made good money using this system, but there is only so far it can take me. If I want to expand and grow, I need more help.

In recent months I’ve been cruising. I started a few new things, including a charity called Mark It Up and launched an elite coaching program, however I haven’t focused too much energy on these things, but of course I want to and will – they are still important pieces of the puzzle that is my life. I’ve had plenty of ideas for new things to do, but I haven’t committed to anything because I want to be absolutely sure I want to do it.

In truth, I’ve been happily blogging, making a good living from it and spending time on other aspects of my life. Much of this I talked about in this article – Do You Focus On What You Really Want?.

However all this is about to change. I can feel it. The signs are all too clear and I believe it begins with getting serious about how I outsource so I can expand my capacity to get things done.

Outsourcing In Big Ways

Recently I wrote about the importance of outsourcing your technology management as the first big step to growing your online business and recommended you check out Tyrone Shum’s Mass Outsource course. Before that I interviewed John Jonas, one of the top internet marketers when it comes to outsourcing to the Philippines and recommended his ReplaceMySelf program. Before John, there was the interview with Tim Ferriss, who definitely popularized the idea of outsourcing to a much larger audience thanks to his 4-Hour Workweek book.

Just this week, John Reese, an internet marketer I’ve always admired, but feel is a bit of an enigma in terms of exactly how he does what he does (I’m curious to know exactly which businesses he runs make the big money), has gone into launch phase for a new course on outsourcing.

I just finished watching John’s first video and I’m going to keep an eye on this one, because Reese is always doing things a little differently, usually a little better and almost always on a much larger scale than your average internet marketer.

You an check out the video and get email notifications when the next free videos are available here, after your enter your email address into the form -

John Reese’s Outsource Force

This video series is part of a launch campaign for John’s latest training product, Outsource Force, which is going to show how he uses outsourcing to make his millions online in all kinds of different markets and industries. The course is going to be around the $2,000 mark, so not for everyone, but I plan to pick up a copy. The launch videos are free.

One of the first lessons I finally fully absorbed in the last few days thanks to John Reese, is how important it is to hire people on a full time basis, rather than a per task or per project basis, which is not too prohibitive as you can find full time staff for around $300 to $500 a month. Previously I understood that hiring full time is possible, but Reese really hammered home why it makes such a difference in terms of performance (it increases staff loyalty, helps foster long term relationships and commitment, when it’s not just focused on one project your staff feel a stronger devotion to you and vice versa, etc).

I’ve seen how good this can be first hand because Gideon, my partner in the Become A Blogger project recently hired a full time Filipino, who has proven to be exceptionally helpful. Nearly every website, landing page and tech element Gideon has produced this year was created by or with help from Gideon’s new full time worker. He’s been such an efficient worker that sometimes Gideon has had to think on his feet for new tasks to give him, which as you can imagine is a good motivational tool for Gideon to get more done quicker in his business.

In another example of how important outsourcing the right way is, just last week I interviewed James Schramko. James, as he explained in finite detail during the interview, has teams of outsourcers working for him all over the world. He has people do everything from setting up websites, creating videos for Youtube, building links, organizing his flights and hotels when he travels, cleaning his pool, developing software and even managing other outsourcers. Consequently, James has more online income streams than pretty much any marketer I know, which is especially cool given he runs it all from his home office by himself.

That last point about outsourcing your outsourcing is especially powerful if you’re thinking big picture and big business. Outsourcing is great, but it takes work to find the good people, train them, and keep them working. The big goal should be to outsource the management of your outsourcing. In other words, you hire someone to handle the hiring and control of contractors. In an ideal situation, you have ideas for new business projects and only need explain what has to get done to the one manager, who then goes and makes it all happen using your team of outsourcers.

Business Is Very Slow Without Help

Unless you are exceptionally gifted in multiple areas AND hardworking, in which case you can attempt to do everything yourself, you will need help to grow your online business. Even if you can do everything yourself, you’re placing a serious cap on your potential if you choose to.

In short, outsourcing really is the only way to succeed online long term. As John Reese pointed out in his video, outsourcing is the number one skill every internet marketer needs to know to be successful.

I’ve spoken at and attended a handful of local events in Australia over the past several years. Often at these events you will find the same people, which is fine, there’s nothing wrong with focusing on your education by attending multiple live events every year.

The problem with some of these people is that they attend workshops on how to build an online income and become financially independent, and have been doing so for years, without moving forward.

As I see it, there are two core reasons for this -

• They continue to repeat the same activities, day after day, week after week, which unfortunately don’t lead them to what they want. For example, they keep working a job they hate, and even when the look to change, they find another job, which they will eventually hate as well.
• They fail to find any means to scale what they are doing – they don’t find any leverage. For example, they have a consulting business or services based business and refuse to take on any help or keep chasing a business model that only keeps them busy and doesn’t make them rich.

If, after three years of attending events, hearing the same advice over and over again, and you’re still not implementing it, then you really need to get help. The problem is not your lack of knowledge, it’s your lack of implementation. If you want things to change you’re going to have to start making smarter decisions, and one of them is to outsource. Outsourcing is the best form of leverage we have in business.

A good first step – and this is by far the most common mistake that can be easily changed in a matter of days – is to hire a tech person. If you haven’t outsourced this, then seriously, I’m going to have to slap you. I don’t know how many times I’ve written that sentence in my blog posts. Just get it done already.

I’m in the process of taking my own advice, and although I have tech people around me, I want to expand and get a full team so I can stop feeling restricted by my inability to produce the technical components of what I want in my business. We’re looking for a full time designer and programmer right now as I type this, probably from the Philippines, or perhaps Eastern Europe.

I’m doing this now, because I’ve decided to commit to rolling out some new projects and most importantly, build a team so I can get all the little things I’ve wanted to do, done.

If you’re feeling the same urge as I am, then I recommend you start hiring right now, or if you need more advice and guidance in this area, go sign-up for John Reese’s free videos as I’m sure we’re going to learn a lot from even the free content –

Article marketing is one powerful tool that you can use to attract the kind of targeted traffic and users that will result in increased sales to your business website. Article marketing gets you visitors through two reliable ways – First, directly when people who read your articles in article directories, ezines, newsletters, forums, etc visit your site. Second, your website will benefit from all the search engine traffic that’s generated, thanks to the higher amount of link building that you accomplish with your articles. And so there are two very valuable benefits of article marketing. But to reach this desired stage, you must produce articles that are not only well-written, but that contain the right keywords. If you have completed the first step and written some articles that are informative and entertaining, your next job is to make use of all the different ways available to get your work the exposure you want.

At the time that an article is being published, is generally the time that most marketers will focus on article directories. However, they forget that even though they are getting traffic, they are still not contributing much to their own site. With this in mind, it may be prudent to enhance your website with several high quality articles. By doing this, your readers will trust you and your long-term credibility will never be in question. You will build a following of readers who recognize you as an expert on your subject, and your website will be the first place they go when they require advice, or questions answered. Not only that, when your site contains a wide variety of articles that include a number of keywords, you’ll be sure to get increased search-engine traffic to your site. Remember the importance of interlinking your articles with one another as the search engines take all this into account when they generate their rankings. It is also a great idea to keep your site updated with new content on a regular basis.

Further distribute your articles by syndicating them using RSS feeds. Individuals are now productively using RSS in larger numbers, to get their content to more people. When your article is syndicated on someone’s website, their visitors can then re-syndicate it. When you take care to produce professional articles of high value, your article may be re-syndicated in large numbers. You can be sure that visitors to your site are notified when you add new articles to your website, by allowing readers to subscribe to the RSS feed on your site/blog. This will work in the future as well because RSS will only grow with time as more and more people get web savvy,

And finally, be sure to keep up with the latest strategies for improving article marketing and information content. You can give yourself the best opportunity for increased leads and sales, by ensuring that your articles provide worth to your readers. Never rush to publish an article that isn’t properly researched and well-written. Adequately researched articles that provide content that your readers will find informative, is as important as making your articles easy to read. Article marketing is the simplest marketing techniques out there. It doesn’t cost you anything, helps you build a brand and carve a niche for yourself. Reaching lots of people with helpful information is an excellent way to bring attention to your business.
