I get asked all the time. Holly how can you afford 5 employees working for you? My answer, I can’t afford NOT to. You see I choose to spend the money I make online paying for my employees/outsourcers.
I choose to give up those speciality coffees, lunches out, ebooks that collect computer dust to pay for the team I now have in place. Is it expensive? NO! A lot less than you think.
The next question I get is how do I train them? I also outsource that.
So here are the tools I use everyday with my team:
First you have to sit down and write your wish list.
Here is an example of a wish list:
I need someone to bookmark all of my sites
I need someone to post 5-10 ads a week online
I need someone to answer 5 yahoo answers a day
I need someone to add 10 youtube friends a day
I need someone to add 10 friends on my ning social sites a day
I need someone to post make 20 blog comments a day
I need someone to upload 1 video a day to traffic geyser and push that out
I need someone to setup 1 blog a month
I need someone to write 2 articles/blog posts a day
I think you get the picture. Then you need to research the best places to hire/outsource that work out. I’ve tried several. And while I was doing my due diligence one day I happened upon John Jonas site…and I now recommend the 4 hour work week to everyone!
#1 Outsourcing
Not Only did I receive so much value from this guy; he also trains my team for me; so I truly have time to build my business. Oh and when you sign up for this…well he gives you the absolute BEST place on the web to find the best of the best! Honest, I hired all of my team from him..save 2 people!
#2 You Need A Project Management System
You absolutely MUST have some type of project management system. I have tried everything and one of my team members shared with me this baby and I’ve been hooked every since.
#3 Free pics for my blog
I use veer.com In my opinion the best pics on the web.
More tools to come…gotta go work with my team.
While you could use the above the software to keep yourself straight we use it for all of our projects.
So now you know…if you want even more information…listen in tonight

Oh, sorry I missed it. Is there a downloadable version?
Dear Holly,
You and Eric did an outstanding job on this webinar. Little do you know how you have encouraged me over the months. I’ve shared my not so good story with you in the past that always seemed to keep me imprisoned from moving forward. Yet I continued to follow you behind the scenes and you’ve had a huge impact on me. Im happy to say (in a big part thanks to you) that I have broken out of my past, out of my story and you’ll be seeing much more of me soon.
This webinar was perfect timing as another one of your encouragements. I can see myself right where you are, “very soon”. Thanks for ALWAYS GIVING and willing to help others (even when you don’t know you’re doing it)….. [:o)
If people don’t know who you are they really should take the time to find out. You are a giving and caring person which is very rare in the internet world. You are a wealth of information and inspiration…!! Soon you will be known as one of those… “A Guru”.. PLEASE never stop being who you are today… “Smiles”..!!!
Again, excellent content and webinar presentation.
Warmest regards
