I think the video says it all. However, you MUST read on to hear my story about last night. It’s the ultimate in making it happen, going against my nature, in a crowd not necessarily as like-minded as could be, etc..Read between the lines and find opportunities where you may not even expect them. Weddings, Bar Mitzvahs, Airplanes!
Here is mine:
‘About Last Night’
I had heard about a local Blogger convention (aka - an evening affair) and understood it to be more of a ‘cultural’ event, then ‘marketing’ event. Hence, I decided not to go.
Last minute I was thinking that right in my backyard are going to be over 100 people who spend a lot of their time doing what I do - staring at this screen I am typing on, and probably at all hours of the day (and night). There has to be some overall chemistry, who knows what can happen.?? Oh, and free food.
I did peg the evening correctly, and therefore am not sure why I was surprised at the lack of conversation about promoting your blog + monetization (which drew laughs from the crowd when it was even suggested). Clearly these people dont know what I know and will be sharing with YOU soon about earning from BLOGGING..
Did you watch my video yet? Well, the funny thing is that I did want to be a little of both ‘wallflower’ and ‘hard to get’.. First of all, I have a long history of thinking that works for me. Not too boisterous, a little mysterious, perhaps even intimidating.. However as a DIRECT response to my OWN video, I shmoozed, I met fellow twitterati, I met other bloggers, other Atlantans, and yes..
I even met..
what could become..
the beginning of a beautiful (business) relationship.
The possibilities are ENDLESS..

Listen here to a full length call with Ben Shaffer, as we divulge some of our secrets and tips to successful outsourcing. This is a FREE listen. And a MUST.
Enjoy working hard? Then Work SMARTER and just earn a heck of a lot more!

Here are the companies I use for outsourcing:
1) RentaCoder - Excellent for sophisticated, more expensive projects
2) Scriptlance - Excellent for small fast projectsThere is a LOT of great information BELOW the video. Make sure to scroll down
.The 3 BEST WAYS to Earn from Outsourcing
1) Arbitrage
Although it’s origins are related to ‘finance’, this term has been adopted to refer to any way you effectively manage to pay for something and sell it for more. Buy Wholesale, sell Retail. It is the basis of how most everything is done in this world! We WILL talk about it in future posts (as I am sure we have in the past), because we HAVE to.
Outsourcing Arbitrage? Here you purchase work from an outsourcing company and resell it for a higher value. Articles, Graphics, Ebooks, Websites, even major development projects. Find a few good resources at the companies listed above. You may find some duds along the way, but if you listen to our call, you will find out how to quickly weed out the losers from the keepers.
2) Tedious, Repetitive Tasks
Time consuming tasks done on the cheap. Although you had me at ‘DONE’. Want to write 50 articles in 2 days, comment on 100 forums, or collect leads for a potential JV? This is where outsourcing becomes a DREAM come true, as you are able to move forward with other tasks, while someone else is putting food on THEIR table, doing tasks you would rather poke yourself in the eye with a knife than have to do. Well, maybe thats just me.
3) Recognize your weaknesses. Hire Strengths.
The Ultimate Outsourcing Plan. You manage. Everyone Else builds. Get that project done. You know the one. The one that you have been dreaming to do, or that is sitting half finished on your desktop.
Here is how to get this done:
a) Draw it up.
Write up a list of exactly what needs to get done for the project to be complete. Break it down into tasks such as:
Project Management
Content
Design
Copy
Programming
etc.
b) Claim YOUR stake and by WHEN
What will YOU be able to do? - Put your name by what YOU can / will do (if any) and put a deadline.
c) Whats left over?
Whatever tasks have no names beside them needs to be outsourced. It should be extremely clear.
Advise: If Design + Programming are to be outsourced, you will do better to create 2 separate projects as it is unlikely to find someone who excels at both. Why settle for someone who is average at all tasks, when you can find someone fantastic at each?
d) The Glue
When all pieces are complete, will you need to hire someone else to make sure all the pieces are put together, function, and placed where it needs to be to call it ‘live’? Well, this missing piece is why many people have projects that are 90% complete hanging around. Make sure to add project manager to your list of tasks needed outsourcing, although if your business warrants it, this may be a good task for a member of a staff.

Simple. Watch this Video and Follow your step by step action plan below. It is FREE, No charge, costs you nothing. People are making money with it. Go do it.STEP 1.
Sign up HERE (Yes click that link and NEW Window Will Open.. ).
STEP 2.
Follow through their simple sign up process, answer their questions, and select the category where you are an expert. Remember to be as keyword specific in your descriptions, so people searching will find you easily. I just signed up last week, and I am #1 when you search for Internet Marketing. However, it is possible that I am moved up higher since I am currently ‘online’ .
STEP 3.
Make sure to Download their software. It can be found under professional tools. It will install the program and the result will be an icon on your taskbar enabling you to decide when you are online / offline, etc.
STEP 4.
If you have a website in your field of expertise, go ahead and grab the code for a widget and put it in your sidebar. Then you can attract visitors to your site as well! This can also be found under professional tools.
STEP 5.
Instant Credibility? Admittedly, without any ratings, it will be hard to imagine someone selecting you over a competing expert. Simply barter a ‘review’ favor with a friend who is also a member, or ask someone else to choose you and review you for a high rating. If you think this is ‘beating the system’, perhaps, but you wont be successful here if you don’t possess the skills required. This suggestion will allow you to cut in line, but no free pass.
What’s Not Good?
I am not certain if this is just a problem for those overseas, but there is not YET (it’s in the works) a phone connection with client to expert. The real question people should ask is how quickly you can type per minute, since you are paying to write and receive responses via writing in a special box that is installed with the software.. Again.. not sure if this is just because I am overseas and the phone option is available for locals? Someone else do the research and tell me, k?
Watch, Learn and Earn or your money BACK! (hahaha - it's 100% FREE!!)
