This course will cover the NUMBER ONE most valuable skill in all of internet marketing. In fact, this skill is the foundation of ALL successful businesses since time began.

And that skill is... Delegation. (AKA - outsourcing)

When you know how to outsource systems, processes and tasks within your business, generating more revenue and profits becomes much MUCH easier.

Not only that, it will make you feel less overwhelmed. Less stressed out. It will mean you will have a lot more free time, allowing you to put other ideas you have into action… or to pursue other interests outside of business.

In other words, it will make you a happier person.

Why? Because writing small checks which turn into larger checks, whilst having more free time, is a recipe for happiness.

Outsourcing is something that we do ourselves (we have 50 full-time people around the world) and it is something that will help you greatly no matter what business model you are pursuing (or want to pursue), whether that be..

  • Blogging or publishing

  • Affiliate Marketing

  • Selling Information Products

  • Running E-commerce Stores

  • Selling Software

  • Offering Professional Services

...or anything else.

Of course, you may imagine that getting other people to do work for you is expensive.

But it isn’t when you know how to do it properly.

In fact, like anything else, it’s a real art (even though it may not seem like it).

And that is what this course is about - teaching you to MASTER THE ART OFOUTSOURCING - and how to use these new skills to blast through roadblocks and bottlenecks in your business by getting OTHERPEOPLE to do tasks that you either don’t want to do or don’t have the time or ability to do yourself.
