Jeff Mills' Outsource Secrets Revealed (c) 2011 www.outsourcesecretsrevealed.com
Why Should you Outsource The #1 secret Jeff found that allowed him to grow his business leaps and bounds so he could make money on the internet was through Outsourcing. You too should start doing this in your business, so you don't have to do, learn or figure out all the hard and tedious internet marketing tasks. These can be done by other much more skilled and low labor Virtual Assistants. Whether you are a seasoned Internet Marketer or just new to this business, you should start looking at outsourcing because trying to do everything in your business is a sure path to failure and burnout. It's why 98% of people who try to make money online fail - they cannot do it all by themselves! The success of any business, whether Online or Offline comes from building a team around the business, delegating task to people who have skills better than what the owner has. If you are just starting out, you can begin by hiring a personal virtual assistant to help you in building your websites and other needs that you have. If you've been around for some time, why not add a few more virtual assistants in your team to help with the load but pay them very very low wages? Later, in the next training videos, Jeff will show you how this is done! If you have lots of training materials that you haven't gone through for months (ebooks, software installations, courses, online trainings, etc...), why not have your virtual assistants do the studying for you and have them implement what they have learned in those course? Remember to be ON your business managing the tasks, instead of IN your business, doing all the work yourself. You can hire a VA part-time for $75 to $200 a month working for 20 hours a week or you can hire a VA full-time for $250 to $500 a month working for 40 hours a week.
The Role of the Entrepreneur Don't be a Solopreneur - a person in business by and for themselves. Instead be an Entrepreneur who focuses on working ON the business and not IN the business. Jean- Baptiste Say, a French economist, is believed to have coined the word "entrepreneur" in the 19th century - he defined an entrepreneur as "one who undertakes an enterprise, especially a contractor, acting as intermediatory between capital and labour". There are 4 things you need to know when setting up your Internet Business as an Entrepreneur. 1) Possess the Knowledge Your job is to collect as much information about making money online and build your library of information. Buy courses, ebooks, and trainings which show you how to make money online. What you need to do next is to give your virtual assistants access to this information and have them implement it after studying it. 2) Design the System You need to know how you will make money on the internet. If you have made money online before, break it down to the tiniest details on how you made that sale. Create flowcharts, mind maps, or process charts. Once you have your system and blueprint in place, hand them down to your virtual assistants for them to execute and spend your time and focus on the most important MONEY MAKING tasks of your business! 3) Hire Skilled Virtual Assistants It has been a common practice to hire a virtual assistant and then give them the blueprint or task you want them to do. But the problem is, in most cases, the virtual assistant hired is not knowledgeable about the task you want them to do or doesn't have the skills you need for the job. Don't make the mistake most newbies make, which is hiring the first person they see who raises their hand, but does not realize the work is beyond their abilities. You'll spend a ton of time training and teaching them to
do the work, only to find... they just cannot do it. It is recommended to know first exactly what you want your VA's to do for you, including all the skills you want them to have and then hire a virtual assistant that has the skills you are looking for. In that way, you will have a perfect match between that task that you have and the skills of the virtual assistant you hired. It's amazing, but in the next couple videos, I'll share with you how to find places where you can get Virtual Assistants, who are FULLY TRAINED in every kind of internet marketing task imaginable. 4) Go Play & Do Other things Once you possessed the knowledge, have the blueprints and hired the skilled VA you need, you can now go and do other things that you like. Some Entrepreneurs use this time to create more business or simply do things that they love like sports and travel while others work and earn for them. This is the ultimate goal, right? Living with Leverage!
How to Find your Virtual Assistants 4 Types of Places to Find Your Virtual Assistant a) Project Based Websites: elance.com, Odesk, Freelancer Usually use and hire 1 person 1 time and never use again. Post many small quick projects or large long term projects. Learn new ideas by studying projects from others - get inspired by the possibilities! b) Managed Staffing Companies: www.findvirtualassistants.com Good accountability, more expensive, less problems with no shows or problem workers, for more high end clients who can afford luxury workers, but at still, reasonable rates (less than $1000 per month for a full time staffer). c) Micro Sourcing Sites: www.sevenstew.com Get any project or task done for $7 or make money selling your services for $7 or more. With Sevenstew, you can sell work for $7, $14, $21 and $49. Hey why not use Outsource Arbitrage, where you get paid $49 for a job, and pay $7 to a VA to do it for you and keep the difference? I know it sounds kinda mean? But it's not, people do this all the time. d) Job Hiring Websites: www.easyoutsource.com (more (and better) found in Jeff's coaching program, which you may be interested in?) Pay part timers $75-250 a month for 20 hours a week - 80 hours a month Pay full timer $250 to $500 a month for full time 40 hours a week - 160 hours a month. Imagine how paying $500 a month to a JEDI VA, who makes you $2000 per month from his efforts would make you feel? Imagine offloading 160 hours of workload, to someone else so you can focus on other priorities! Now you know why I am SO PASSIONATE about Outsourcing, eh?
How to Pay Your Virtual Teams Money! Paying Your Virtual Assistants a) First - make sure you use a contract for EVERYTHING. I have sample contracts and work for hire agreements, in my coaching program. Doing this makes the agreement legal, and shows the governments you are independent contractors, not employer/employees, which would mean a ton of taxes to pay. b) We pay our staff every two weeks, twice a month, on the 1st and the 15th. c) We do a 30 day trial to see if we like the VA and so they can see if they like us. We are also testing them during the 30 days to see if they really work or sluff off with bad work. d) Fire quickly before 30 days is up, if they are not following your rules or protocols. There is always some one to hire right behind them, and don't feel bad or get upset because you have to fire someone. It's business only. Payment Methods: 1. Xoom.com 2. Paypal.com 3. WesternUnion.com 4. EMoneyGram.com
Making Money with Outsourcing How Outsourcing Can Make You More Money! 1) Flipping Websites is just like flipping real estate properties. Fix up the house, and sell it for a profit. With internet real estate (websites), we buy ugly websites, and then we fix them up, make them profitable, and then re-sell the site for 3-7 times it's earnings! a) There are many sites you can use to buy and sell websites on. The most popular one is www.flippa.com. b) A popular course, showing you all the details for flipping websites and making money is called "Flip Mastery", click on the banner and get it, before they raise their price, which I heard is any day now! 2) Create a local SEO company, where you help local businesses get online, high rankings, and use internet marketing to build lists. These local businesses need to do the exact same stuff people do online - Have a website write articles submit articles link building write press releases submit press releases make videos
submit videos, etc... a) Your VA team is the fulfillment system for your local business model. Instead of you doing all the content work, you build a team and train them to do all the SEO (Search Engine Optimization) for the customer! b) Jeff's company is called www.trafficmills.com c) Hire a project manager to run the team and manage the jobs for you, so you as the business owner are not doing the work. We did that with a website called www.hiremymom.com. d) hire a sales person, based on commissions to approach local businesses and sell them on getting optimization services. Pay your salesman a 25% commission on the fees you collect for and also for repeat billing each month your client has services done. e) get a 3 month contract with clients paying $1000 to $3000 per month, doing their local SEO work. Renew the contract after 3 months, once you prove yourself to them, that you can rock their rankings! f) we have tons of SEO training in our online coaching program, maybe that is something you'd like to check out? I'll show you how that works, in just a couple days! So... stay with me, I'll have an offer that will blow your mind!
5 Tasks Your VA can do for you: Tasks to Outsource 1) Article Writing and Submission - you ask them to write an article for your website and submit it to article directories so that people bump to it, and click to its link that lead to your website.. its a great way of getting free traffic for your website. www.articlemarketingmills.com is a great site to use for Article Marketing and article submission. 2) Video Creation and Submission - another way of getting free traffic is through videos. You ask your VA to create videos for your website and submit it to the internet. If you don't have time or resources to have a video shoot, You can teach your VA on how to create free videos onanimoto.com wherein you can add music on it, pictures, videos and everything for free. When people bump to your videos and see its link, they'll click to it and redirect them to your website. 3) Website and Blog Design - you hire a skilled VA and have him build a website and tell him what your site must look like and he'll work and design everything on it. Flip the site or keep it. 4) Link Building - link building is a way of getting to the top of the search engine and getting higher page rank. You ask your VA to do link building and create more backlinks for your site. The more backlinks you have, the greater the chance to have a better page rank on search engine on page 1. Backlinks equal votes. The more votes, the higher you'll rank! 5) Everything - if you don't know what to do, you can ask them to do everything for you. You can have them build a website from the scratch and then they will do everything and you'll just have to pay them and wait for the outcome of their job. They'll do it better, faster and cheaper than you could do, doing yourself! BONUS TOOL TIP: I did not talk about this tool in the video, but it's a hot tip.
www.jingproject.com Using Jing, you can record 5 minute screen capture videos. You can show the screen capture video as a training video, explaining to your VA what you would like done, or how to place things in certain areas on your websites. You can also dictate and show processes and system and store these videos in your own training vault, so if one day, your VA leaves, you have the vault ready to use to retrain the next one, video by video. Jing is free to use. They even let you do screen picture grabs, where you can grab an image off the web and use it or manipulate it. This tool is essential for communication and showing your VA's tricks and tips. It also works both ways. Your VA team can use the Jing video to show YOU what they are doing and ask you if they are doing the job correctly, but showing you progress videos!
Structuring Your Virtual Team Today you will learn how to structure your business team, which is very similar to the way a Baseball Team is set up with Team owners, Team Coaches and Team Players: A team must have a: Business Owner: You own the business. You don't have to do any stuff that your VA's and Managers are suppose to be doing. Your job is to asses the situation and give instructions to your project managers so that they can position the team to the direction you want them to go through. Don't do $10 an hour jobs, cause you're worth more than $10 an hour. You never see baseball team owners put on jerseys and play in the game. Project Managers/Coaches: Project Managers oversee different areas of your business. They also serve as coaches to your Virtual Assistants Team. Your Goal is to replace yourself with a project manager if you are still doing all the jobs for your business. If you find a good project manager, pay them well, build a good relationship with them and they will stay with you for a long time. Finding good English speaking project managers with experience is the best bet. Training in a new project manager with no business experience is a disaster waiting to happen. Types of Project Mangers a) Operations Manager b) SEO Manager c) Customer Support Manager d) Joint Venture Manager e) Business Development Manager f) Sales Managers and Call Centers Virtual Assistants/Players: These are the guys who do all the dirty work for you and produce the output that you need. Treat and pay them well and they will stick with you for the long haul. These people are the output machines, and their work should be returing you a positive ROI (return on investment) every month, so your hiring costs
are zero. If a VA is not making you positive cash flow, you'll need to find out what the problems are and fix them. Maybe you have a bad system, that's not making money. Maybe you have a bad VA that's not doing the work, even though they say they are.

He seems to listen and offer excellent opinions, which is all that I need." - Gene Baldassari
