Free Outsourcing Report & Videos
Tyrone Shum contacted me last week about a new outsourcing program that he’s launching soon and sent me his free outsourcing report and links to some free videos he’s done. I’ve never quite got my head around outsourcing properly before because, as a techie person, I tend to want to do everything myself.
However, as pointed out by one of my readers on the weekend’s software project update, the maintenance of my software is going to be a big and continuous job. I want to focus my time on development of new features and don’t want my time to be sucked up by doing maintenance of all the sites that the software will support. This is an ideal candidate for outsourcing.
So, Tyrone’s report is quite timely as I’m at least thinking about it now even if I’m not quite ready to implement it. His free report is called Secrets of Outsourcing Experts Revealed and it’s quite a hefty 64 page PDF and focuses mainly on interviews with Tim Ferriss, Jeff Mills and John Jonas. I don’t know who the last two guys are but I have certainly heard of Tim Ferris of the 4 Hour Work Week fame, though I’ve still not read his book :-)
One reason I’ve always thought of outsourcing as something for ‘later’ is the money issue. It seems like one of those things where you need to earn the money first before you can afford to pay for staff. I was really surprised to read about how one of the guys interviewed in the report hires a full time PHP programmer in the Philippines for just $300 a month! If I could hire a PHP programmer to do all the maintenance for me for that kind of money, that would free up a lot of time to work on new features and get them released quicker.
The first 50 pages of the report concentrate on the interviews and then the remainder has some outsourcing resources such as project management software, sites to find workers etc. I haven’t yet watched the videos that accompany the report but I’ll probably have a look at those in due course.

The way I see it, you can’t afford to not outsource. Business owners who try to do everything themselves end up crippling their business’s potential because there’s just no way that anyone has the time to do everything that’s required of a successful business. Even more importantly, no-one has all of the skills that a business needs, and this is what’s difficult to realise if you’re a control freak – sometimes there’s someone better for the job than you are! Something else to think about if the cost of outsourcing seems too high: if you weren’t getting these services in an outsourcing capacity, you’d probably end up having to employ someone to do the job, and imagine how much that would cost?

I’m with you Caroline. I’ve always been one to do everything myself, mainly because of my fear that someone else’s work won’t live up to my expectations.
This ebook is right on time for me, because I simply no longer have enough time in the day to do all of the things I need to do…myself.
Thanks!

Hi Caroline,
It really takes money, and the money that you have to use is to be saved up. This is hard, really.
