Hi there, it's Tyrone Shum from Outsourcing Live and welcome to the dedicated channel
on about outsourcing and with me sharing with you outsourcing strategies.
In today's video, I'm really excited to share with you my first monthly report for the Outsourcing
Live and also what happens in my business. And I've been inspired by Pat Flynn and also
Corbett Barr who I'm good friends with that I wanted to share with you transparently and
to also give you an indication of what I'm doing with outsourcing and I want to just
share it from this point of view of outsourcing on how I run it in my business. Because a
lot of people probably see income reports out there and see traffic reports and all
that kind of stuff but I don't think anyone out there is currently showing you how they're
going to outsource and how they're keeping in track of those results. So I want to probably
be the first one to do that and share that with you.
Now, what I want to do is I'm going to give you an overview right now of what things that
I'm targeting for for this particular blog and also what I want to do for myself as well
in terms of - getting myself to work less in the business and also to have a lot more
things automated. So this is more or less a journey for you to also learn from me and
also for me to be able to keep accountable too. And if you go to my blog and explore
right down to the bottom, one of my goals, I've written down here is I'm on a journey
to - allow me to work up to about 12 hours a week. So that's one of the goals that I'm
putting out there and I want to try to achieve that within - the next six months and there
are a lot of things that I'm going to be doing to do that so that I can get it outsourced
and implement it in my business.
All right now what I want to also too, is just to share with you how this blog is actually
growing and how it is actually moving because one of the other goals is in the 90-day challenge
that you may have seen when I first started this blog was to - rank it on the top 3 terms
of Google for the term outsourcing which is an extremely competitive word but I think
it's achievable with the strategy that I'm doing so you can check it out on the previous
post that I've done in that. But the main goal for this particular blog is so that I
can show you the journey and the processes that I do with my team to be able to rank
for this blog to get to where it is and show you some interesting things that are happening
as well.
All right so the first thing that I'm going to share with you right now is some statistics
for the last month of June. I officially had this blog launched around about the 25th of
May, so - I mean realistically I should have it started on the 25th of May til then but
to make it easy for all of us, I want to start this on the start this on the first of June
til the - 31st or 30th of June so therefore I can report on the first of each month. And
if you had a look back anyway between the 25th to the - to the 30th of May, there's
not much that really did happen anyway, just little bit of traffic and friends just checking
it out.
All right, let's just jump over. I use a tracking tool called Clicky which you can get at Getclicky.com
and these are the results that have been shown for the last month of June so from the first
of June all the way til the 30th of June. And by the way, today's the 1st of July if
you want to know, and I'm flying out to Bali tomorrow so I wanted to squeeze this in just
before I do go so that you can check this out and have a look at what I've been doing.
All right, first thing I want to share with you is that for the month of June, we had
a total traffic that came through to about 6,336 visitors. And I'll expand that, and
roughly, there's about 5,000 of those that were unique and about 3,000 something on was
about new visitors. And don't forget I started this blog basically from scratch, I didn't
have anything before that and no traffic coming through and I purposely started it at scratch
so that way I can show you exactly what I've been doing to build links and getting traffic
to this site. Though, to make it also - for people to understand how this blog actually
started and - got traffic to it as well was I did at Tyroneshum.com which is my personal
blog there, did talk about outsourcing for quite some time. I did have a subscriber base
so I did have some traffic coming from there and obviously when I started something like
this with a dedicated blog just for outsourcing people come over to there and as you can see,
a majority of the traffic that came through was coming from Tyroneshum.com which is fine
at all. But I got a majority of the traffic from subscribers who have previously been
on this.
So in actual fact when you look at the whole blog, I did have a database and list of subscribers
there which I'm not starting from that scratch but what I am starting on was for this blog
to actually grow and I'm planning to show you how I've been able to outsource a lot
of the strategies that I'm doing so you can see from all these statistics and right now
it's live as you can see what's going on.
The other thing I did notice for this month as well is - because it's a video blog, I
had about an average of 6:18seconds for people to be sitting there and watching my videos
and doing whatever they do and that's long they'd stay on my site. And I had a pretty
relatively low bounce rate which was about 22%. That's not too bad, I'm pretty impressed
by that. So those are some of the results happening.
And - let me show with you right now what are some of the strategies that we implemented
for last month and this will be in addition to adding on to the 90-day challenge that
I'm doing right now. So, let's just jump back. Some of the things that I've done and I've
even shared that with you is that I've implemented a few things. One of the things was the Youtube
- and I basically got myself setup on Youtube over the last month to generate backlinks
and create lots of backlinks and you can see that video here which is how to get traffic
from Youtube which is next traffic strategy for Outsourcing Live. I won't go into detail
about that today because I've gone into that video to show you how that works but one of
the strategies that I did was Youtube. And that has actually brought in some good traffic
as well for me.
The other thing that I did as well was I launched a podcast and as you can see right here, if
you click on Podcasts, you'll be able to see I've posted up to five podcasts already so
I'm getting some traffic from iTunes which is the podcast and it's been doing okay at
this point in time.
The other thing as well was I run a competition over the - over this blog in the last month.
And when I first - ran this competition, I was partnering up with a company called MicroSourcing
and MicroSourcing actually approached me and said would you like to ran a contest and - for
someone to win a $1,000 worth of outsourcing services and since then, we've had a winner,
and Peter Freeman who's also from Australia as well won that prize. He's right now experiencing
some really great things that are happening with MicroSourcing. So that competition did
relatively good for me in terms of traffic bringing into the blog and also too for MicroSourcing
because it did send some traffic and some people over there. And we had 39 comments
written on this blog as well, I'll scroll down right now - who entered into that. And
also too, I've had roughly about 19 or 20 comments that were from Facebook. So in total
it's about 60 something entries here and there. Plus also people liking on Facebook and tweeting,
stuff like that. You can see there's 25 tweets as well.
So that did bring in some traffic to the site. And when I did run that which is around about
the 20th, I'll jump back over here. You can see there's a spike of traffic about 400 and
something. So yeah, between the 17th to the 20th which was there, there was some spiking
traffic which got the highest of about 418 visitors for that day.
All right so basically those were the two main things I think that really helped with
traffic to this month. I did the Youtube, and also too, as I said Youtube videos, the
podcast and also running a competition.
Now, what I wanted to also share with you as well is what is happening in the behind-the-scenes
of the business and - also too, I also have my staff whilst there building up backlinks
as well for Outsourcing Live they are building backlinks and putting strategies to be able
to build up my niche sites and this happens because I've got these projects setup for
my team to run because I have a three full time staff, one's a virtual assistant, one's
a full time video editor and one's a full time programmer. And we use the programmer
to create all our websites. And also too my video editor to do all my videos.
Which allows me to have more time so I can focus on creating more content for you guys.
But let me just show you just briefly, we've setup this report just recently and we've
got some niche sites that are going and these are the things that just started. I mean some
of these sites we've had probably for the last say six months going back to when we
first started with the niche site duel with Pat Flynn and that one is - have been doing
okay but we've recently also started some new sites as well in the last - in the last
month or so we did start relatively new couple of sites which are starting to increase its
- yeah ranking and also getting some traffic through and there was another site that we
started going back three months ago and it's currently ranking on the first page of Google.
But you can see, just basically on this report, these things are currently being done or setup
by all my virtual assistant team or virtual team there and from there, they are able to
build backlinks, they are able to write content for me, they're able to also - get them found
on Google and indexed as well. So as you can see, niche site one we're ranking currently
23, sorry not ranking, 269th to say in Google, that's one of the sites. I think that one's
been around since probably going back about three months ago too. Ah this one here which
is ranked number three is currently the 3daydetox site and it slipped back from number one to
number three but that's okay because it goes back and forth from time to time.
Niche site three, is one that we've been working on for the last six months or so. That one
has been quite challenging because it's been actually a very, very competitive market but
we're very happy that it's gone over the first page and it's got over 1,000 visitors per
month. Niche site four hasn't got anything but we just purchased and set this up and
that's also a potential niche that we found and currently from market samurai, it's got
roughly about 800 visitors per day and can potentially generate up to about $1,000 per
month so this one's a good niche that we wanted to go into.
Same as niche 5, same statistics and results and we're currently ranking number 41. And
we actually started this only about a week and a half ago so it's doing exceptionally
well and we still haven't even done any backlinking as you can see right here. So we're happy
with that. Outsourcing Live as you can see, 6,256 visitors just based on Getclicky and
it has an increase of about 323% and it's currently ranked in 23 which is I'm pretty
happy with that for the first month. As we said, we're aiming for about 90 days to do
that and we've got about two months to do. Backlinks, 333 that's not bad for that.
And then finally the last one which was also a very similar niche to the first one currently
gets about 1,000 audience and it's ranked number - nothing, it hasn't been found as
yet.
So that's basically my niche sites that we have running in the background and my virtual
team runs that. Now I just give them basically the instructions and the directions of where
they go and they implement everything for me. And one of the goals that I sent out for
this - this basically for the next six months as I said is to work no more than 12 hours
a week in my business as I said by 31st of December and to take Fridays off. And in the
last month of June, I've been tracking myself by writing down everything that I do in a
diary, and every hour that I worked and I totaled it all up. And here it go, I worked
in the last month of June, 137 hours in total and that average is that over the last 30
days to be about 23 hours per week. So I'm not too bad you know, I thought I'm working
40 hours a week but I'm actually doing a little bit less than that and I'm pretty happy with
that because a majority of the work is outsourced and I try to bring that down as much because
I'm setting up more and more systems to allow me to do that. So I'm pretty happy with that.
And then I guess the other thing is to have my team - my virtual team build 5 niche websites
and 4 automated procedures to generate steady figure income. So basically as I said the
goal is is for us to have at least 5 niche sites ranking number one on Google and to
generate income, and also too to have Outsourcing Live to rank in the top 5 spots for the term
outsourcing so we are on that way and as I said this has been outsourced, majority of
the stuff like the video editing is being done and also too the backlinking strategy
have been done.
I - will still continue to create the content which I have it all pre-created anyway. And
that doesn't take me too long and once that's done, it just gets sent out to my video editor.
All right so that's not too bad. This month I also just want to mention is that I - I
wrote 40 posts or created 40 video posts and that were submitted onto the blog and is getting
out there, what I'm planning to do is in the next month as I'm going to be away in July
and I'm getting married in Bali - yey! Ah I'm going to be also too cutting down on the
amount of involvement so obviously in the next couple of weeks I'll probably be working
almost close to zero hours which is cool and then when I come back, hopefully I'll be able
to put in just a few more hours to be able to create some cool content for you to share
onto this blog as well and then obviously put in my monthly report so that way you can
keep track of what's going on there.
So my main goal for this month is to post out at least on average again 3 video posts
for this month again. I'm going to experiment maybe in the next month after that to reduce
it down to 2 video posts a week I should say and see how it go from there. Ah as I said,
July I'm not going to be working but for me I've already had pre-scheduled a whole month
of videos for you so that will be coming out and scheduled and also doing from my virtual
assistant team who will be managing all that for me.
And I guess the main other thing that I want to aim for this month as well is to be able
to put out - two special posts, I'm not sure exactly where it is for something, and I'm
still deciding what to do, and also two guest posts onto other blogs that have potentially
good traffic as well. So that's the next goals for the next month of July.
All right, I hope that you've enjoyed this - video that I put together, this is my first
monthly report. Each month I'm going to be just showing you my journey here and I really
love to be ablet o find out exactly what things that I can do to improve on outsourcing so
if you have any feedback, any tips or anything you want to share with me that's worked for
you in your business and you've been able to successfully outsource as well, share with
me. I love you to write down and leave a comment below here and also too to let me know how
you're going on your journey as well.
All right thank you so much for watching this today, my name is Tyrone Shum from Outsourcing
Live and have a great July and I'll see you back when I come back from my wedding. Bye
