I bought a wso on lead generation and one tip in there was how to get outsourced help for emailing at $1.00 an hour.

I was very skeptic but still placed an ad on Odesk.

A couple of hours later I had more than 150 people apply to the ad with close to 20% of them willing to work for less than $2 an hour.

This morning my task is to select a few who I think can do the job and start a contest to see who will be my first virtual employee.

Yesterday I posted my very first ad trying to recruit commissions only sales agents.

It's my first attempt to outsource sales in any way shape or form.

My next step is recruiting email entry personnel, and that should be later this week.

So far I've had 8 responses to the ad and since I did not mention what the service I was selling was all about, I replied to all with a detailed response with service details, target market and commission opportunities....

Wow, it's been almost a year since my last post and much like my writing I've not done a whole lot of actual prospecting work.

I've been satisfied with a few clients and doing what I thought was work planning this big project that would deliver the "4 hour work week" dream to me.

But as I came near the launch day and my software developer failed to deliver I realized that before I could swing for the fences I should have a better income locked up.

You can imagine that I was quite surprised to see that people took the time to read the ad I made for the affiliate contest I associated with my WSO but did not sign up.

I know that I've not proven myself as an elite product creator and that folks with big lists want to maximize their EPC but a $400 bonus should entice some of them.

Oh well, my reason for the WSO was to share a method I use with success and grow a list of local offline marketers. And to that effect,...

So today I added an image just under the original thread on my WSO Facebook Attraction that informs Warriors that I'm running an affiliate contest with cash and prizes.

When I just published the WSO, I managed some sales and attracted a fair amount of affiliates, but to my dismay, not much traffic or sales came from the affiliates.

I'm hoping that the contest which offers more than $700 in prizes will attract more affiliates and generate some buzz.

Please...
