I will be promoting this very heavily in 2009 because I can see the tremendous potential that this has, and I recommend that you do too.

So my advise is secure your position at the top now while it’s new.

This is the best thing that has happened on the Internet in a very long time and could make your 2009 your best year ever, if you act quickly!

Don’t Buy The Site Rush – I’m Serious!

hwdirect — Sun, 14 Dec 2008 21:12:32 +0000

If you are thinking this is another one of those ‘Don’t buy product X – unless you get it from my link’ type of posts let me surprise you. I genuinely do mean, for some of you, don’t buy The Site Rush.

Before you get caught up in the general launch formula scramble to get in ‘before the doors close’ let me give you a word of advice.

I assume that because you are looking at The Site Rush you want to make some money online. After all, that’s what we are all looking for – right?. But for many of you, may you reading this now, The Site Rush, and most other major launches is probably not the best place to start.

Let me explain. The majority of people who buy one of these launches, over 95% in fact, just leave them on their hard drives. They spend, sometimes, a lot of their hard earned money on the latest product launch and do nothing with it.

Turned on by the potential of this one being the one that will get them out of the rat race, fire their boss or eliminate that crippling debt they plunge in credit card in hand. And a few weeks or months later they are still where they were except they now have more debt.

The reason that so many people do nothing with these products is in my opinion because they are simply not ready for them. If you are new to the internet or just getting started and want to make a difference financially in your life, then most of these launch offers are not going to do it for you – yet.

See, if you have a vision to drive a formula 1 racing car but have only recently sat behind the steering wheel of any car and don’t yet have a full driving license, buying a Ferrari right now isn’t going to achieve your goal for you.

You need to learn the basics first. You need to get a few lessons under your belt, if you will, before you have the skill and confidence to tackle the Ferrari. The same holds true with anything, including making money online.

The Internet is far and away the best place to start a business from home, there’s no question about that. Your start-up costs can be next to nothing and the speed of growth of your business can be quite amazing.

But only if you do it right and put in the right amount of effort. I’m sure that some people think that if they buy the latest, greatest expensive package they will magically get rich without actually doing anything with it.

Sorry guys, but I’ve been doing this since 1997 and it hasn’t happened to me yet and I don’t expect it to happen any time soon. You have to follow a plan you have to put in some work.

Thing is, if you do (and it needn’t take a lot of work) you can get fantastic results very quickly. One of my friends who’s achieved great results in a very short time is Brian Johnson and he’s taken the time and trouble to put together what I think is the best training course of its type for beginners that I’ve seen.

In his course Brian assumes nothing. He takes you from raw beginner through to where you are actually making money. His course is based on the popular WordPress platform that enables even complete novices to be creating websites, driving traffic and making money fast.

Even if you have been online for some time but still not making money for some reason that you can’t figure out, this course will almost certainly unlock what’s holding you back.

There are 29 videos that Brian includes in the course where you will see, on screen, how things are done. And if you don’t get it the first time, play the video again until you do. Also included in this course are WordPress themes that have been specially designed to be appealing to the search engines (SEO friendly as it is called) that will help your sites rank well, get more visitors and make more sales.

Have a look at the full package here. I’m sure you’ll be as impressed as I was when he showed it me. He includes lots of additional bonuses to make it even more appealing to you as you’d expect from a good marketer online.

Something that Brian doesn’t include in his package, however, is hosting for your website so as a special extra bonus for my readers I will include one year’s hosting for your first site with my hosting company.

Just email me your receipt showing that you bought Brian’s course from me and I’ll arrange the hosting for you.

Take a look at what Brian has to offer, I’m convinced it will help you get over the initial hurdle of making money and once the checks start rolling there will be no stopping you.

Then when a big product launch comes around in the future, you’ll be ready to take advantage of it.

Go check out Brian’s site here.

If you are sure you are ready for something like The Site Rush after reading my views, I invite you to check out my honest review here.

I’ve had the opportunity to get a review copy so can speak from authority unlike a lot of people out there who are just copying each other.

Hiring Your First Part Time Virtual Assistant

hwdirect — Sun, 16 Nov 2008 19:38:34 +0000

Sooner or later you are going to reach a stage in the development of your business when you feel that there is just too much to do in the time you have available. Almost certainly you will also think that you have no choice but struggle on alone because you can’t afford to hire anyone.

For that reason I’m delighted to be able to re-print an article from my friend and mentor Marlon Sanders where he describes his own experiences with hiring assistants for his business. Enjoy the article which I have reprinted in full so you don’t miss out on anything.

until next time,

Wishing you success in your business.

Marlon’s In-Depth 16-Point Guide To Hiring Your First Part Time Virtual Assistant Based On How I Hired My Own Virtual Assistants.

By Marlon Sanders

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Let’s talk about hiring your first part time virtual assistant:

– Can you afford it?
– Where do you find them?
– How do you work with them?
– How do you save 50% on their pay?
– What country should you hire them from?
– What if their work isn’t up to par?
– What skills do they need?

One of the big steps in your online career will be
when you make that move to hire your first online
assistant.

There are many ways to outsource your work. You can,
of course, hire freelancers off of elance or other
sites.

That’s good for one-off projects.

But very soon in your career, you’re going to want
to hire a part time virtual assistant and later a
full-time one. That way, they can learn over time
how you think and what you want.

You get a higher quality result with less work.

As you know, Lisa worked for me for 7 years. I’ve
had other virtual assistants. And now I have some
employees. But I worked my way up to this point over
time.

Here are my tips for finding and using your first
part time virtual assistant:

1. Hire someone in Canada. They have high speed Internet
and are Internet savvy. If you’re in the U.S., they’re
on US time.

Lisa was in Canada. Rick Hanson did my technical stuff
for many years. He’s in Canada.

2. Hire someone in your relative time zone.

It’s hard for me to work with virtual assistants in UK
or Australia because of the time zone difference.

Whatever country you’re in, I think you need to look for
someone in the same time zone. That way, you can collaborate
on projects during work hours.

The cool thing is that if you’re a night owl, you can find
a time zone where that’s someone else’s work day.

3. Grab a 50% discount on pay

The great thing about Canada when I started there with Lisa
was I got a 50% discount due to the exchange rate. Over
time, this wilted.

But when you’re getting started, look for that exchange rate
discount.

4. Use your resources to find people

a. Craig’s List — That should be obvious. I love using
Craig’s List.

b. Newspapers. I ran classified ads in several newspapers
in Canada.

c. Post in forums. Post what you’re looking for in forums
like Warriorsforum, Digital Point forums, the Rich Jerk
forum, abestweb forum, Anthony Blake’s forum (ablake.com).
There are many other forums you can use, depending on the
talent.

5. Do NOT be scared to hire someone if you have revenue.

As long as you have a profitable sales process, don’t be
scared to hire someone part time. You’ll NEVER feel like
you can afford it.

But as long as you have a product that’s selling, a target
market and a lead generation process, you will very likely
find it pays off.

You WILL be scared to death to hire that first person. But
if you have a sales process that’s working, I really believe
it’ll free up your time and let you concentrate on higher
return activities.

Face it, answering customer service emails doesn’t make you
any dough.

6. Hire talent over pay

I’d rather pay more and get someone really talented than
pay less and get mediocre talent.

You want someone you don’t have to train. Trust me on
this one.

7. Find someone with exposure to Photoshop and good writing
skills. When you’re hiring that first virtual assistant,
you need a jack of all trades.

Someone whose very computer savvy, has had a little customer
service experience, good writing skills, and a little art
background or Photoshop is great. It’s ideal if they can
do the basics in Dreamweaver.

When I hired Lisa, she was already doing customer service
for Internet Marketing Challenge but they let her go when
Corey bought the company. She could do a drop shadow in
Photoshop and had taken a correspondence course on html.

8. Call them first thing every day and plan the day’s work.
Even if they’re part time, you need to review their work
plan daily. Just call and go over the work for the day.

This is why I say you need someone in your time zone. In
my opinion, Skype doesn’t cut it. You need to be able to
talk over the phone.

And you need to be able to EASILY reach the person. If you
have to email them and get a response overnight, this isn’t
going to work out long term.

Yes, you can do that for repetitious outsourced projects.
But the virtual assistant person is your RIGHT HAND. You
need them on demand at least during set hours.

9. Here are some tasks you can have them do:

a. Fix html problems
b. Customer service problem solving
c. Compile pdf’s
d. Create reseller pages and contests
e. Respond to the needs of affiliates or JV partners
f. Create products
g. Design banner ads for affiliates
h. Write emails
i. Write postcards to resellers
j. Do things you don’t want to

10. Dictate your promo emails to your VA.

This is why you want someone you work with every day. You can
dictate your promo emails to them.

Over time, they’ll learn how to type these up and you get
promos out to your list just by dictating an email in your
morning call.

11. Set rules upfront about days off, time off, emergencies
and advancing pay.

a. Set a rule upfront that you don’t advance pay.
b. Set a rule on time off from work hours for personal errands.

Virtual assistants sometimes don’t see it as a job. And you have
crucial tasks for the day when they up and announce they have a
dentist appointment or need to take a family member to the
Pharmacy. Whatever. Set the rules upfront.

c. Decide if there will be vacation time.
d. Have some form of non-disclosure agreement even if it isn’t
legally valid. At least you can have a clear, unambiguous
agreement.

12. Be quick to pull the plug.

If junk goes on such as their Internet goes down all the time,
tasks don’t get done and you get excuses, critical mistakes are
made, pull the plug.

13. You’ll know within one to two weeks if the person is good.
A bad hire will want to take a month to get up to speed and
research the tasks. A good person will hop right in and start
doing work.

14. Let the person in on your plans. Brainstorm with them. Let them
experience fun and exciting tasks also. Don’t always just give
them boring stuff. Find out what they love to do and see if
you can work some of those things into their responsibilities.

15. Let them grow in the position.

If you see potential, talent or abilities they aren’t using,
pay for them to get a little training and see if that talent will
blossom.

I bought Lisa a Photoshop book and in 30 days she had gone through
all the tutorials and was amazing. But she had an art background
and tons of talent.

16. The hardest person you’ll EVER hire is your first.

I remember Corey (Rudl) telling me that once over the phone. And
it was so true. And it’s true.
