The reason why most people start an online business is because they want to live the dream lifestyle; do what they want to do, whenever they want to do it. They have in their mind a business that brings in thousands of dollars every month on autopilot.
And once you do get it to that point where it is bringing in a great income, you realize that there is a lot of necessary but tedious work that needs to be done day in and day out to keep your business running. You have all this money coming in but you can’t enjoy it, you can’t take long vacations. So, in fact, you’re a slave to your work, just like when you used to have a job! But, in fact, it’s worse, because you can’t even take paid leave!
What’s the solution? You replace yourself by outsourcing your work.
Click here to find out where I strongly recommend you do your outsourcing.
When you first contemplate outsourcing you may start thinking to yourself, “No, I don’t want to do that. No one understands my business better than I do”. “Can I trust someone else to look after what I’ve worked so hard at?” “I can’t afford that”, etc.
Fortunately, there is a extremely affordable and reliable solution that can literally have you replacing yourself. And once you’ve tried it, you’d wish you had done it much earlier.
When most people think about outsourcing they immediately think of India. You don’t want to do this. Why? Indian culture is very different to western culture, this includes work culture. Ask anyone who has outsourced to India and they will tell you that it just doesn’t work. I won’t go into detail about this here.
Where you want to be outsourcing is the Philippines. Here’s why:
- the Filipino culture is super honest
- Filipinos are extremely hardworking
- Filipinos understand western culture
- they speak, read and write English well
- you can hire someone full-time to do most online tasks for around US$250 per month!
When you hire someone you will want to qualify them by giving them a difficult (but achievable) task and see how they handle it. For example, you might ask them to find a good domain name, register it, setup web hosting and install a Wordpress blog.
If they are willing to figure this out they will be good to work with. If they are not willing to figure it out you don’t want them.
As a condition of employment you will have them send you a daily email covering the following items:
- What they have done that day
- Any problems they have faced
- What you can do for them
With this information you can correct problems, give them feedback, thanks, etc.
Start off with a low wage. Wages are always negotiable. Give wage increases regularly for good, reliable workers and bonuses for jobs well done. When you’re ready to expand and hire someone else, ask your first staff member to help you find someone.
When you need to give instructions or feedback, you can use a great, free online tool called Jing to video train your staff. Using Jing, you can easily create a screen capture video and upload it and then send them Jing’s url. Very simple and quick.
Because Filipinos are honest (and you will find this out for yourself) you can give them access to literally everything.
To pay them, use Xoom.com.
The only downside to outsourcing to the Philippines is that their internet connections are not very reliable.
If you have an online business that’s earning enough money for you to afford outsourcing to the Philippines you’re doing yourself a disservice by not utilizing the opportunity. The outsourcing advantages are staggering. Imagine replacing yourself and being able to have more time to actually think about your business and give it direction and make it grow, rather than being caught up in all the mundane day-to-day tasks.
Not to mention being able to go away on vacations and enjoy yourself, knowing that everything is being taken care of. You will also be surprised to find that your new staff will most probably do the job better than you ever did!
There are 2 ways to find someone to work for you in the Philippines:
1. Do a search online for job classifieds in the Philippines and place an ad
2. Go to Replace Myself. These guys specialise not only helping you to find a Filipino to work for you full-time, they also train them as well.

Hi
I bought Auto Profit Launcher and when I found it was not what I expected it to be, I checked the website for refund gurantees and I found this:
———————————————-
Auto Launch Your Profits,
Or Rob Us Blind Guarantee
Try out Auto Profit Launcher with zero risk for 30 days. And we mean really try it.
Create your websites during that time, get them out there and send traffic to them. Keep all those profits — they’re all yours.
After 30 days, if you’re if you’re not completely happy with Auto Profit Launcher, we’ll refund your money, no questions asked.
—————————————————————-
So after 30 days I applied for refund and got a shock ! The support staff drew my attention their “terms of use” which is not readily visible and it says you have to apply for refund with 30 days.
So I think this is a deliberate attempt to avoid refunds. One the website, the customer is asked to apply for refund after 30 days and when he does point to terms of use and refuse refund. What do you all make of this devious plan of Auto profit launcher ?
I am a newbie and $497/- is my hard earned money.
Hi Eric,
I think you should be able to get a refund. If the site says “Try out Auto Profit Launcher… After 30 days, if you’re if you’re not completely happy with Auto Profit Launcher, we’ll refund your money, no questions asked.” but then they tell you that you need to apply for the refund within 30 days this is certainly misleading on their part.
This is what I would do if I were you; I’d reopen the refund request support ticket or open a new one and tell them exactly what you have mentioned above. Also add that if they do not promptly refund your money that you will alert the appropriate authorities.
Let me know how you go.
This is absolutely true – goals can really mean the difference between wanting to do something and actually doing it. I always think that I’m pretty good at setting goals, but judging by how I don’t find myself reaching those goals very often I am starting to think that maybe I’m not that good at it. It’s important to set realistic and specific goals, and maybe put them a little higher than realistic so that you’re always stretching a little harder to reach them.

These are some great advice to rank high on Google (or any other search engine). But finding a keyword with good search volume and low seo competition can be much more challenging than it might seem, trust me.
Moreover, if we make it a practice to write based ONLY upon keyword research, it might cause us to drift away from our blog’s main niche, some times.
Apart from these possible dangers, overall great advice!

This looks interesting, I’m going to check it out. Brian Tracy’s books are really entertaining and informative about selling, that’s for sure.
Hi John,
Thanks for understanding the situation and for the support. It is a very clear and devious ploy to avoid refunds. They are completely ignoring all references to their “30 days” statement and keep harping on their “within 30 days” in the emails.
Some gurus had promoted this product and I am going to inform them and also all other gurus on whose list I am. Everyone should become aware of such practices.
I am planning to report this to the FTC. Such unscruplulous marketers shouldn’t be allowed to fool customers.
Now this is not something new with aweber.. I have had frequent problems with Aweber earlier.
This is great info…
I did not think eZine articles was the to rank high with.
This is incredibly good advice. Especially the part about being an expert in a field. Alle successful people are experts in their field. Study 10.000 hours and more.
Goals could be achieved when you put your heart on what your doing. Gather all the resources that you can use and able to utilize those resources to commit your goals. Failure could sometimes happen but those failure can make them your motivation to work hard.
Thanks for those patterns and it will come in handy for me.
Love, love, love Jeff Johnson. He has some awesome information and tools that help people get top paying careers online. We plan to tweet this posting for our readers as well. Thanks for sharing!

Your first step, writing down your goal, is absolutely essential in achieving goals. I find that writing things down somehow solidifies what you’ve written down – it’s like setting something in stone. And once it’s set, there’s no other turning back from it.
I agree with adding a PayPal cart to your website if you want to sell stuff online. It just makes things easier and faster! Although I confess didn’t bother watching the video – I outsourced the techie stuff to a freelancer and he was the one who added the PayPal cart to my website.
Clickbank is the top-of-mind brand, at least over here, for affiliate marketing. That’s how powerful it is. Even for non-newbies, Clickbank is still one of the better affiliate networks out there.
Good post! your right – supply and demmand, its the first thing people should think of when deciding to sell on ebay..

As a business we think about, I’m the manager and this is what I need my team to do. But people aren’t motivated by what’s important to you as the manager. There motivated by what’s important to them.
I’m not sure I’m preselling properly. I was recently informed that I need to use a “call to action statement” in my articles. But isn’t that selling?

Hi SFaith,
Yes, you’ll want to have a strong call to action at the end of your articles. This call to action is allowed to be included in the resource box which is added at the end of the article. This is acceptable (and even recommended) by all the article directories.

Really timely news for me as I’ve just put together a Rock Music antoresponder sequence on Aweber. So I have just made sure I’m not tracking the click-throughs, until this issues resolved. Much appreciated info.
The latest news I have about the League of Extraordinary Minds is that Jay Abraham and Rich Schefren are pulling together groups of the experts into panels.
If you sign up all she has to do is your email and pass word then she can use your account, statements will go to you, or if authorized you can let her inter you account info (bank access) and use as hers.
I think this one is getting overlooked because no “real brands” use Aweber… it’s primarily an “affiliate marketing” ESP… so no one like MarketingSherpa, who has a considerable amount of value in their brand, are complaining loudly.
Thanks for posting this John. I am presently using Aweber’s Javascript web form. I will change it to RAW HTML.
I’ve joined up with ClickBank a while ago and have not made any considerable income, maybe I need to work with them a bit more. Thanks for the read though.
Hi Readbud,
What methods are you using to promote Clickbank products?
