Alan Looking for Online Partner!

Posted in Real Estate  Print This

Hi, Alan here and I’d appreciate a reply with your thoughts if you’re interested.

I have enjoyed teaching real estate, writing articles, making videos, etc. But in 2010 as I’m spending more and more time at making music and other online ventures, I feel a little overwhelmed and could use a partner to take what I’ve started and run with it.

I have fallen behind on bringing my subscribers really good tips on my blog and newsletter, as I pretty much took a personal vacation from all projects after my November seminar. I got some R&R, but you guys deserve consistent goods.

So,write a comment below or email me if you’d be interested in working/partnering with me in any of the following ways:

* Writing real estate articles or blog posts
* Making real estate training or educational videos
* Hosting webinars and interviewing guest experts
* Speaking on webinars and offering my VA course
* Communicating with our newsletter subscribers via email and answering real estate questions and blog comments
* Search Engine Optimization, linking
* Comment on blogs and forums with a link to our site
* Creating ebooks or real estate training products for a % of all sales

or

Management experience
– I’d consider giving a partner a % of the business if they were the manager who coordinated work among the VAs and other team members. Internet marketing experience would be nice, but working hard and getting stuff done on time through leading a team would be the most important skill to me.

UPDATE: Also looking for an affiliate manager

If you enjoy talking with other website owners and online marketers and would like to meet them, build relationships with them, and coordinate them promoting my products online and promoting theirs as well to my subscribers via email, blog, and webinar.  This is best for a performance-oriented person who would like a % of sales they generate with the help of the hundreds of real estate gurus I already know.

Tell me which you’re interested in and your experience, and your number, and we can talk soon about how we could work together, if you’d volunteer vs compensation and if so what, and so on.

Thanks, and get ready for a great 2010!

Outsourcing Tip Winner Announced…How to Organize Your Outsourcing

Posted in Outsourcing & Delegating  Print This

Hi guys, Greg Purnell gets the V for this contest and wins a free ticket to my Lifestyle Business boot camp!

Here’s why I chose his…there are lots of productivity tips on how to get more done YOURSELF in less time, or one-time tasks you could describe to someone, assign, and follow up on.

But a whole level beyond that is to allow someone else to transform your vision of what you want into details and then execute as well.

Then, you get the same benefits of someone doing the work for you, but you also get free of the details, the organizing, the planning, the thinking through every step of the way, which can really add up over time.

So you can write detailed systems for routine tasks that you want done exactly the way you want it done, but it’s also nice to be able to just say “please do this” and have that person be smart enough to really think it through and make it happen even better than you could yourself.

Also, sending my assistants tasks by audio recordings (just use an Olympus digital recorder and email your voice notes as attachments) has helped remind me that I can just describe what I want, without typing it [slow], and can give more detail if needed in less time.

So there’s something to be said for details as long as you can communicate them in a really efficient way.

The moral of the story is to hire a superstar team that “gets” what you’re saying without a bunch of questions, but can just figure stuff out on their own to give you the result you want, which is more important than the means of getting it done, anyway.

I would only document a checklist or detailed instructions for something if it is going to be a routine task done in your business over and over that you want done exactly in a certain way.

One-time tasks and everything else, just rattle the tasks off to your team as fast as you can, and, as long as you hired right watch them soar.
