Hi, Tyrone Shum here from MassOutsource.com. Welcome to this video! This video has been created so that I can help answer any of the questions that students and any people such as business owners from around the world have asked and a lot of the questions has to do with outsourcing and how to setup their business so that they can be outsourced to people over in the Philippines.
What I want to do now is go through and answer the most common questions that people wanted to have answered and also be able to give them guidance, some tips and also strategies on how to be able to outsource their business. This whole video presentation is for you to be able to benefit from and gain some knowledge and be able to get out there and start outsourcing your entire business. Hopefully with all the information that I provide here, you’ll be able to take away, get started and take action straightaway. So enjoy this, and just see how I’ll be answering a lot of these questions as well so it can benefit for you:
Where do I start?
This is a very common question and also very good question too. A lot of people who are just starting out and internet entrepreneurs wanting to run a business online and also those running the business for 6 months to 12 months plus are getting to the point where they say “I don’t know how to explain, how to grow and how to leverage business…” then basically you’ll want to look out outsourcing as the next level to be able to get your business running to where you want it to be. So where do we start with this?
The first thing I do is just to gain some experience exactly on how to go about outsourcing. I know you’re not going to get it right at the beginning and this is the reason why I’ve created this video for you and also to be able to answer these questions for you.
I know from experience when I first started to outsource a lot of work that I’m doing in my business, I struggled because I don’t know where to go, how to get the right people in place and also what systems to put in place and give them the right tasks to do. A lot of times I’ve been through and been ripped off as per sé and also not paid the correct price, a lot of times wasted as well. I don’t want you to go through that. I want you to fastrack your success to be able to achieve the goals that you want in your business.
Now, the first thing that we want to look at is getting some experience and also some knowledge. Let’s take step back – the most important thing that I believe in is Knowledge. Get some trained knowledge on how to go about doing it. What I would do is there are some free videos that I have in my MassOutsource.com website – 10 free videos on Where, How, and When to manage these people and a lot of these are towards hiring people from the Philippines. Go through and have a look on those videos just to be able to get started. It’s all absolutely free so there’s no strings attached.
Though, to gain experience, if you just have the knowledge and you don’t have experience, you wouldn’t be able to succeed in outsourcing your business. The first thing I would do is to either go out or find someone and hire them on a contract basis just to give them one project to start off with, learn to manage with them and learn to train them and see what they can do. Once you get that first trial over, and you know what to do from there then you can start to hire these people on a full time or part time basis.

Within 12 months of starting his blog at mountain biking by 198, he had received over $70,000 worth of products to review and he got to keep most of it. Not only that, he had advertising and affiliate revenue on top of this, which is the so called crème on top of the pie.

Our Internet Secrets: How To Create Membership Sites
June 16, 2009 by Tyrone
On Friday I attended Andrew and Daryl Grant’s 4 day workshop in Sydney called Our Internet Secrets. I was very fortunate to attend this event and have to thank Yaro Starak from Entrepreneur’s Journey again for giving me 1 out of the 20 tickets. This course is normally $1,995.00, so I was very grateful to attend as a guest. Over the 4 days there were a lot of excellent speakers on top of having Andrew and Daryl speak. All of the speakers that presented is part of the Our Internet Secrets faculty group and if you are a member of this program you get access to them. Some of the speakers were: Yaro Starak, Bret Thomson, Darren Stephens, Greg Cassar, Paul Blackburn and Janet Beckers.
Each of them brought different their unique expertise and shared with the audience on how they created and achieved great success with their Internet Businesses. I was particularly interested to learn about how Andrew and Daryl Grant set up a very successful multi-million dollar business using their eBook and membership site strategies. These were just a couple of components that were part of their game plan. For example a goal they achieved were:
- Having a membership site with 1,000 members paying $49 a month over 12 months (Income of $588,000 a year)
- Selling 20 Internet Business packs per month at seminars for $3,000 each over 12 months (Income of $600,000 a year)
These were two of the strategies that intrigued me the most and it did make sense that it was possible to make a million dollars a year. You might be wondering how did they do this? Well, I am going to share with you the first goal they accomplished.
Creating A Membership Site
As Andrew and Daryl points out, they have a membership site that could be created and launched within 3 days. For me that is unheard of because I would be thinking where do you get the content so fast? This got me really excited and I wanted to learn how they did it! Before you could start creating a membership site you need to understand what is currently available in the market and how to make yours different, so you will stand out. Well, lets explore what are some of the problems most membership sites have in common:
- Can take 6 months or more to set up before it makes any money.
- Members stay an average of only 2-3 months, so you don’t get a recurring income
- Most membership site software is designed by and for people with a US company and bank account.
- Can be expensive to set up, depending on the software you use.

2009 New Year Starts With A Bang!
January 1, 2009 by Tyrone
Most people start a brand new year with a resolution to what they want to accomplish for that year. For me it’s a new year, with a new lifestyle and a new business venture. Over the last 12 months I’ve been consolidating all the different ventures I have dabbled in and streamlined the systems so that I could take myself away from running businesses and spend more time working on them instead.
For 2009, my goals are:
- To teach others how I have successfully run Internet Businesses.
- To work only 4 days a week and take one day off to purse my hobbies.
- To monetise InternetBusinessPath.com so it will generate $200,000 per year from multiple revenues.
- To offer valuable content about Internet Business, Entrepreneurship and Making Money Online to my customers and readers.
- Increase the readership of this website to 10,000 subscribers by the end of 2009.
In 2009, I will look forward to working with like-minded people who want to also succeed at creating a profitable Internet Businesses.
