I'm not new to IM or Hiring people and Make Money Online, but I have been stuck with finding the ultimate person to literally build a mini Cashflow System, run the Customer service, pay for Markeing basically become ME!

This is 100% True - I am travelling Europe with the Help of a Partner living in a Motorhome (RV) My only Material things are my iPhone, laptop and a few clothes.

I have a storage unto costing £60 per month hiding some Centimental things back in the UK.

As of right now I am going to try and Hire someone from a forum or Outsource site who I can teach to become me.

By the way I have all the knowledge, I just want teach someone everything that I know that they can run my online life

How would you do it?

    I wouldn't recommend using one person.

    Divide your work into 5-10 people..with one people managing them...whom you speak to EVERY day (or every few days).

    The idea is that you have to give up on micro-management. So get this one person to control everyone who works in your 'company'.

    Also, decide on how much money you need to make for your 4-hour work week. Some people are happy with $2k a month, some need $20k to survive.

    Write down your figure, and work on getting close to that using a group of outsourcing team.

    If you have more questions, just ask!

    Thank you - I think that's a good idea to use a Manager with a team of people under them.

    Do you think there is someone out there who would work for Free to learn from Someone with 10yrs worth of Knowledge until I hit a good income - then I can Pay them a good monthly salary ?

    I am worried about teaching someone everything I know for them to steal it all, but at the same time really have to do it to achieve my lifestyle.

    I also only have Internet for 2hrs per day so it's going to be tough and tricky!

      How long will they have to train for you for free? Finding someone to learn for free is going to be tricky because there are scammers out there who have used that line before to steal a few hours of work from unsuspecting online workers. I actually know one girl who has promised a "full time" job after 1 week of free training. She was never paid after working for that guy for free for a month.

        what!?? That's insane! I would never allow myself to be put in that position but if I were her, I would be irate.

        As for OP, I think what princecapri said is dead on. Divide up your work for a manager and set your goals. But I'm confused as to why you have literally no money, yet have 10 years of experience to share to someone else for them to make money... Don't you think you should build up some funds first, develop how you plan to run your system, and THEN look to hire someone?

        Or do you want this person to just build you a sustainable method?

    Just out of curiosity... how do you expect to hire someone full-time to do everything you do without any money to pay them? :p

    Am I reading this correctly? You have no money, meaning you have no online sites producing any income, and you want to find someone to become you? How is that going to work?

    Honestly, you need to do the hard work first yourself. You need to build something successful. You can use outsourcing to help do that, but you can't start outsourcing to have someone else do everything for you without a business plan.

    A business plan is not "Hire someone to become me".

    I have done it - I've found a team to work for Free for 3 months then once I've built my income stream I am going to pay them a good Monthly Salary and pay back the 3 Months they worked for Free.

    I think by being honest with people and just asking does work, yes they have to trust me but I also need the income and why would I not pay them?

    It wouldn't make sense to let them work for 3 months building my income then to not pay them when I will need them to keep the Cogs Turning in the Machine.

    Guys my issue is - I've been though a lot of Family illness and lost the most important person in my life caring for my Mother and at the same time I lost my successful business. I'm taking time out after a rough time and to get over the shock of it all.

    It's been 16 months and I feel this not being lazy but Smart - I have all the knowledge but I want someone else to do it for me this time.

    I will still have to tell them exactly what to do - it just won't be me doing all the Grunt work.

    I Apologise for grammar I'm on iPhone and it's a pain sometimes!

    I will let you all know how I get on...

    Thanks a lot

      Ooooooo no you don't! I can't let you leave here until you tell me where did you find these people and exactly step by step what was your sequence of messaging and communicating with these people to get them to work for free. You didn't have a site or anything so tell me what was your leverage?

    My Initial Leverage was my 10yrs Internet Marketing / Ecommerce Experience - I know it sounds unbelievable but there are some people out there right now who want to learn and then be paid at a later date having honed various Skills and Will if I pick the right product to promote earn a decent Monthly Income.

    I am choosing Affiliate Marketing to tackle first then possibly eBay/Amazon then an eCommerce store with a dropshipper then I think my First IM Product / WSO.

      Do you blame me?

      Let's see what you want to try and do:

      • Start a company with no money
      • Only be online 2hrs per day
      • Get people to work for free - FOR 3 MONTHS IN THE HOPE YOU MAKE MONEY, WHICH YOU MIGHT NOT
      • Build a business in 3 months to support more than 1 person
      • Have someone run a company and give you the money

      Am I missing anything else?
