Hi everyone! It's Tyrone Shum from Outsourcinglive.com and welcome to the dedicated channel where
I talk about outsourcing and also provide you tips on how to outsource.
In today's video, I'm going to be showing or sharing with you a monthly update and this
is the update for July. This is actually the second month that I've been reporting on the
traffic and also what's been happening in regards to my goal which was to work less
than 12 hours a week on average basically all across the business so I can actually
say for the last month of July I've actually been working so much more less than that and
I'll share with you that shortly.
And I also just recently got back as well from my - wedding from getting married in
also Bali and also Sydney as well so I had a double wedding there so you can imagine
what happened in July. I basically wasn't around and my whole virtual team was pretty
much running my business for me. So that's fantastic.
Now I'm pretty much ready to rock and roll again back into the business to get a lot
of different things, implement it and also share with you lots of outsourcing tips. So
without further adieu, let me just jump straight in to show you exactly what's been happening
across this blog - and in the last month has been some interesting stats that's been happening.
I've jumped into my trusty little monthly report here and this is just basically a table
which I've setup and I'll share with you right now. You've probably would have seen it in
my first video, if you didn't see my first video, you can jump back to last month's report
back in June and I'll have a link back to it as well below this post.
So as you can see we've got all the niche sites and so forth but we'll double pass it
right now and we'll scroll down to where it says Outsourcing Live which is exactly what
I want to share with you. And because of the month of July I actually wasn't posting as
many posts and I didn't actually do much marketing because I wasn't around with my team was basically
the traffic had dropped. And if you can have a look at it, it sort of dropped down by about
2,000 - something about 2,000 visits for the whole month so it's divided by 30 it's less
than about 90 visitors that I lost over the month and that was because of lack of promotion
and so forth so as you can see there was about minus 34%. And I'm wasn't too worried because
the fact is I still have traffic coming through and I'm trying to look for more organic traffic
rather than relying on all of my subscribers.
But the good thing is that over the period, I also went up in placing from 23 up to 17th
spot and if I remember last, I think we at one stage reached at ranking number 14 so
that was really good and I was very happy with that but we're still moving up and down.
Now that we're also ranked on Yahoo, it also brings some traffic from there. But what was
the significant thing that I think was most important was the amount of backlinks that
was actually added. We jumped from 333 up to 2,586 backlinks which is a really good
result and we're finally getting found and indexed by a lot of different sites as well
and furthermore these were the amount of backlinks that was submitted just for that month alone.
So what I want to quickly do is to show you over here in my July statistics you can see
right here. This is basically copied directly off from GetClicky and it's really interesting
to see that the amount of time that people stay on the site was on average about 6minutes
just to read around, watch the videos and so forth so that's a great positive thing.
And also too, our bounce rate was quite low in comparison to a lot of other ones. Once
it hits about the 50-60% mark, that means that you're not capturing audience. So I'm
quite happy with that and the things that it did actually keep a lot of the people coming
back as well. Obviously for me this month for the month of August I'll be focusing on
increasing the amount of traffic that will be coming through and there will be a lot
of other strategies that we're implementing as well.
And then finally I just want to share with you some other interesting stats from what
I saw from Market Samurai. This is just a pretty much a - little table of what keywords
that we've been optimizing for and also starting to find - becoming found on Google and the
main as you probably see and know is outsourcing and we're currently ranked number 16 it says
from Market Samurai from the 2nd of August so as I said it keeps going up and down all
between 14, 16, 17 and so forth and also too, these other ones like pros and cons of outsourcing,
benefits of outsourcing we're starting to actually rank for places so not before long
I think once we get those in place, we'll start to actually rank and get some spots
on there, we'll get some additional traffic just organically from Google and this is pretty
much in-line of the 90 day challenge and we're currently in our 60th day so I've got about
one more month to actually get through all this and hopefully by the 60th day, we can
actually push through and get to the first page which is I'm hoping that's what we're
going to be able to achieve. So I'll share with you what's going to happen for that next
month.
All right so that's pretty much what's happened for traffic wise for the site. The other thing
I want to share with you as well is as I mentioned at the beginning is the amount of hours that
I worked and in-line with my goal, I'll just jump back over here, the goal is to be able
to work less than 12 hours a week, this is my journey. It says here outsource and automate
business allowing me to work 12 hours a week and last month was absolutely interesting
month. I literally worked 4 hours on average per week so I was living literally the 4 Hour
Work Week in comparison to the 20 hours I was working or 23 hours I was working in the
month of June and the main reasons behind that was basically I left for Bali on around
about the 2nd of July and I came back about mid-July and we've prepped for our wedding
for our 2nd wedding in Sydney and all the way up until the end of this month or last
month of July, I had taken all of my family all across Sydney and spend the whole time
so I literally didn't have much time to hop on and do anything at all except maybe reply
to few emails and speak to my staff. So it was basically 15 hours in total for the whole
month and 4 hours on average per week so it blew my goal away. And it means that I smashed
it already so it's great for that.
Now, in saying that, that was a very - out-of-the-norm month because the fact was I got married so
I'll be interested to see what happens in August, September and the rest of the month
and if that's the case, I can continue to do minimal work in terms of running the business
and so forth and keep it as long as I can to work 12 hours a week I'll definitely, definitely
will be doing that.
Basically that's pretty much it. I will probably share with you more details and specifics
about what's going to - what's leading up to how we're getting our site, Outsourcinglive.com
to rank on the first page during this month and I'll continue to provide lots and more
tips as well.
One last thing I want to share with you as well, check out this. This is the latest,
if you haven't heard of it it's the latest thing by Google which is also Google - which
is called Google+ and I've signed up to it only about a week ago and I've started to
really just interact with people online and I'm finding this so, so much better than Facebook.
The only thing is with Google+ at this point in time is you'll need to get an invite only
to be able to access this system or to access the social network. And to make it simple
and understand this, basically Google+ is very, very much like Facebook but a lot of
new advance features. It's a lot more cleaner, as you can see you know it's just simple,
nothing that interferes. And you can read things very, very easily and very clearly.
But the grea thing about this is that I love this thing with Google+ is that it allows
you to actually have circles. Circles of Friends, sorry Business Contacts, Friends, Family and
so forth which allows you to be able to separate what are the things you want to post to different
people. So if you want to just share family photos with family, you can actually do that.
Same thing with business contacts, you want to just put a post out there that talks a
little bit more about what you currently do in the business and not tell your friends
or share with your family then send it out to your business contacts and it's great because
you know, you can separate all your friends and family. Whereas in Facebook I know that
you can sort of do that, but it's not as easy to do as it is for Google+ plus there's also
a lot of advanced other features as well.
So if you want to check it out and get an account yourself, feel free just to leave
a comment just below here. I'm more than, more than happy to be able to offer - I'm
more than happy to offer an invite for you so what you can do is just at the bottom of
the comments section here, below this video just simply type in the comment and leave
your - details there such as your email address and it has to be also a Gmail account and
what I'll do is that I'll actually - yeah what I'll do is I'll send an invite over to
you to invite you into Google+ so that way you can get an account if you don't have one.
But if you do, I'll love you to also come and connect with me and say hello I'd love
to add you onto Google+ here and we can definitely communicate here by - Google+ because I'm
a lot more active here than I am on Facebook and Twitter.
Okay well thank you so much for watching this today and it's been a real pleasure to share
