RE: Learn how you can stop losing your shirt when you outsource a
project
Hello!
It's a well known fact that outsourcing saves you huge amounts of money.
...Or at least, that's the theory.
As many of us have learned, outsourcing is not quite as easy as contacting some company in India, sending over the work and getting it back completely perfect, exceeding your expectations and as good as if you had done it yourself.
That's what would happen in a perfect world, but in reality...
Outsourcing Can Be A Painful Process
There is so much that can go wrong, so many hidden landmines waiting to go off and throw the project off track, so many unforseen circumstances, costs can escalate and deadlines can come and go...and that's if you are lucky!
If you are unlucky, you can literally lose your shirt to unethical service providers, people and companies looking to make a quick buck at your expense.
Even if you do find an honest and reliable provider, getting them to understand what you need can seem like pushing an elephant up a mountain. If you don't get what I mean, try explaining to your Mom what a two tier affiliate program is or how a downline builder works. Now imagine you've got to explain this to someone who's first language is not English and you should begin to see some of the problems.
Some common problems with outsourcing includes...
- Website software that's full of bugs
- Missed deadlines
- Receiving a script or software that doesn't do what you wanted
- Being provided with a design that looks like a 2 year old did it
- Commitments not being honoured
- Misunderstandings between provider and client
- Endless communication required to fix the smallest of problems
- Very little communication from the provider, sometimes you feel like you are spending more time chasing them than working on your business!
The list goes on. People start out with high hopes for outsourcing, but the dream quickly sours as they realise that it's not as easy as they first thought.
Don't Throw Away $50,000 Like I Did
Let me tell you a quick story.
It was the Spring of 2006, I had spent the last 4 months working on an idea that I was sure would set me up for life. It was going to be a mega-portal in a niche that I already dominated.
The site would incorporate brand new features, automated advertising, a share trading system, membership plans, affiliate plans, rating systems, social networking...it was going to be the dogs b******s. The bees knees.
Having already outsourced projects for several years, I felt confident that I could pull off this project, despite it being 10x larger than anything I had ever attempted before. I felt sure that my careful planning, attention to detail would be enough.
Oh boy, how wrong was I.
I was 23, and sunk my life savings of $50,000 - literally everything I had - in to this project. The contract was agreed, the price was paid, I would have a fully working website within 4 months and by Christmas 2006, I would be on the gravy train.
Like I said, how wrong was I.
Three months in to the project, I started getting that uneasy feeling that things weren't going right. My fears were confirmed in the fourth month when they asked me to start testing the site.
After going through half the site, I had already produced 12 pages of errors and feedback.
I was numb with shock. My income was drying up and this project was supposed to be nearly ready!
In an act of desperation, I headed out to India in September 2006 to try and get the project back on track.
To cut a very long story short, the site was far too full of bugs to be useful, the programmers were simply unable to understand my instructions and I had lost the interest and motivation (despite everything I owned being invested in this project) to carry on.
To make matters even worse, after 8 months the company gave me a final kick in the teeth and said that they would not be helping to fix the bugs until I made another $10,000 payment.
There was nothing else I could do, the project had to be abandoned.
Learn From My Monumental Screw Up
A few months after the project was abandoned (along with my $50,000), I was able to look back and try and analyse where things had gone wrong.
I filled an entire notebook with thoughts, theories and action plans on how the outsourcing process could be improved.
Throughout all of 2007 I put my theories in to practice and built up my confidence to outsource my work again. I started out with small projects, $50 here, $100 there, testing and tweaking my project management, how to handle the providers, discovering how to communicate my ideas and finding out what worked against what didn't.
I found that under some circumstances, projects were being done in record time; very few problems and bugs in the programming projects, very few revisions required for design projects and I developed a sixth sense for picking the right providers.
I had cracked the Outsourcing Code!
Or at least, I thought I had.
You Are Only Getting Half The Code With Other Outsourcing Guides
Listen up.
I know there are other outsourcing guides out there, I know because I've read them all. You can even head down to your local book store and buy a hardback book on outsourcing.
But every single one of these guides lack one crucial factor:
They all teach you about outsourcing from the client side!
You are sending all this work to various companies and individuals and following advice from other people who are doing the exact same thing.
But hold up a minute.
Wouldn't it be useful to get the lowdown from one of these providers or outsourcing companies?
Doesn't It Make Sense To Also Get Advice Directly From The People You Outsource To?
Here comes the next part of the story. Still sore and bitter about losing my life savings, in January 2008 I took a life changing decision by JOINING a web development company in India.
Yep, you read it right. I left the cold and rain of England, flew 6,000 miles to India and went to work with one of those software development companies you hear about all the time.
But what does this mean for you?
It means that with Outsourcing Code you now get the complete picture: advice from someone who has discovered how to successfully outsource projects AND advice on what the service providers are looking for.
I don't know of any other guide that gives you the point of view of a service provider and what they look for in order to complete a project.
I've now experienced outsourcing on both sides of the fence. I've been burned for $50,000 on a project and discovered how to outsource from a clients point of view. Since January 2008 I'm now in a position to reveal exactly what the service providers are looking for.
Having worked with clients on websites like OddBodd and KnackFor and project managed Payable and Ocarda I've developed a systemized plan to keep on top of the project and ensure that deadlines are met and problems are cut off before they take on a life of their own.
(Without wanting to sound too egotistic, I can even count Cisco as one of my personal clients)

High Value Bonuses
I've put a lot of work in to this package (rather controversially, I believe that it's very important that you create info products that you are going to stake your reputation on rather than outsourcing it). When I started this project, I was intending to create a small 10-15 page report that I could sell for $7.
