Today’s Keyword Research

May 2, 2009 by Leave a Comment

I was doing some keyword research today on outsourcing when I ran across this keyword phrase “outsource congress to india” ! I had to laugh…..

I’ve really tried to keep politics out of this blog….which has been really hard to do :) But when I ran across outsource congress to india I just had write something about it. I don’t mean to insinuate any negative feelings or thoughts toward the good folks in India…..just the fact that so many US companies have outsourced their support teams to India and the experience can be more than frustrating. Not that anyone in India is incompetent…..just the US corporate CEO morons who made that decision.

Well…..we certainly couldn’t do any worse……in fact, the good folks I know in India have more common sense and more brain power than any of the current majority leaders in congress today. So…..why not outsource our congress to India?

Check out my favorite keyword tool.

5 Benefits of Outsourcing for Online Business Owners from OutsourcingWeekly

When you are in business for yourself, especially one that is conducted online, you’ll find there are many different concepts for you to learn about that will save you time and make you money….something we all have too little of :) Learning how to outsource will be one of the most cost effective investments you will make in your business tool chest. Every type of business has a collection of tools that are used to build that business and Outsourcing belongs in the Internet Marketer’s toolbox at an early day…..this way you can plan on building your business with a good knowledge of outsourcing.

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. Trust me, I was and still am to a small degree this way….its called a control freak…..But…this couldn’t be farther from the truth! In case you’re curious about why so many online business owners are singing the praises of outsourcing, Keep your eyes open and read up on the 5 Benefits you can get from Outsourcing. The important thing is to know When to Outsource it and How to Outsource Your Project

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. Categorized simply repeditive tasks and see if it makes sense if someone else would do it for you….of course you would pay them…..thus, this is Outsourcing.

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 awhile 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.

Model after the Experts

The tasks you are outsourcing might not 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.

Think about how a house gets built. A contractor takes a set of blueprints, he divides the work needed to build the house into categories and looks for the best people to do that portion of the job. For instance, the contractor looks for an excavator with big machines to dig the foundation hole. Next he looks for a capable concrete man to form and make the foundation that the house will site on. Notice the Contractor doesn’t do all the work, he finds capable people to do portions of the work needed to build the house and oversees their work. Another way to say this is, the Contractor Oursources his work and watches over it.

Decide to 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. You’ll find that Outsourcing will extent the number of hours in a day for you. You’ll find yourself with extra time which you can use to start new projects, educate yourself further and learn new aspects of your new business or maybe take some time off.

Always Keep People Accountable

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 you’re tasks are getting completed as well.

A big question enters your mind….How do I outsource it? When you first begin learning about and implementing outsourcing techniques throughout your business, you’re gonna love handing off  those boring or repetitive tasks 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.

Understand How to Outsource and These are the things that will help your business to grow even more profitable.

You might be a slave to your online business  like I was….go ahead and break the chains. Learn how to oursource it at OutsourceWeekly your solid gold secret to becoming successful with internet marketing! Written by my friends who are excellent at outsourcing their business and organizing their business. For me…..this is terribly boring. But you know what that spell’s……profits and lots of it!

When to Outsource it and How to Outsource Your Project

April 30, 2009 by 3 Comments

If you’ve been working in the internet marketing field for any length of time, then you’ve come across the term “Outsourcing”. Knowning when to outsource it and whether to use offshore outsourcing services could be a major advantage to your company and project.

Everytime you’ve seen the word, you probably were about to be introduced to the secrets of multiplying your efforts and increasing your profits 1000 times….and only 20 people in the world know about this :)

Yep, I’ve become a little sarcastic through the years.

But don’t let my feelings cause you to miss out on discovering and understanding the much needed practice of “outsourcing” and more exactly when to outsource it.

The problem with outsourcing is if you do it wrong, it could totally blow your project and could even cost you some big bucks….but do it right and it could be the secret to your online success.

It’s no secret that Jimmy D Brown is one of my heroes and it just so happens that Jimmy and Nicole Dean have put together a course called Outsource Weekly and if you want the straight scoop on outsourcing, then take a look a good look at the course they’ve but together.

First check out this little except from Outsourcing Weekly.

Outsource Weekly Excerpt
by Nicole Dean

If there was one thing I’d go back and outsource sooner, it would be my customer support and my emails.

Why? For a number of reasons…

Benefit #1: It takes a LOT less time now than I ever spent.

I’ve never been accused of being aloof, so I’ll tell you like it is.

This is embarrassing, but oh well.

I have “shiny object syndrome”. In fact, I think that most internet marketers have a bit of ADD where any shiny object pulls your attention away from the thing that you’re doing.

Emails, instant messenger, a new product that’s launching that everyone’s talking about, a cool website, phone, twitter, “ooh a new friend found me on facebook…” etc.

“What was I working on again?”

When I was answering my own emails, I’d run off to investigate the answers or find out more about the topic, click through on the links that were sent to me, or just plain old get sidetracked and head off to work on more pressing matters.

I’d get shiny object syndrome and spend an hour answering an email and come back and go “oops, I never responded” because I’d run off in 100 different directions between opening the email and hitting send.

So, when I finally outsourced my emails, I was quite embarrassed to see that the virtual assistants were only spending 15 minutes/day on something that was taking me a lot more time.

Benefit #2: It keeps me more positive.

You know the story. You get one crabby person who is just downright mean, for no reason at all. Well, some people can let that roll off their backs, but, when it’s your business that they’re talking about, it can feel awfully personal in a hurry.

My poor hubby had to dry some tears after one particularly horrid woman came after me, repeatedly being mean. And, she wasn’t even a customer! ((shudder))

Benefit #3: You’re Going to Have to Do It Eventually. The  Sooner you Do It, the Easier the Transition Is.

Anyway, I’d held off outsourcing my emails for a long time, because I couldn’t believe that anyone would take as good of care of my customers, loyal readers, and JV requests as I possibly could.

That was until I realized that Bill Gates doesn’t answer customer questions.

Hmmm…

So, in essence, I was again punishing myself for success. The BIGGER my business grew, the more emails I’d get – the more miserable I was and the more I was stuck on my bottom, working many more hours than I’d cared to.

Success had again became a punishment for me.

This course is the perfect starting point for any beginner by learning when to outsource it and even should consider offshore outsourcing services. You see, Nicole & Jimmy have this thing called “integrity” that has caused Nicole to pour a lot more into this course than she ever imagined. When interviewed recently, she stated “I can not teach people how to Outsource a task until they understand 1. if they need to be doing it, and 2. how it should be done effectively. Otherwise, they’re just throwing money away.”

Out of all the people on the next, these are two I would trust with my kids….and you can trust them to deliver golden nuggets of oursourcing secrets.
