Course Description

Summary:

Follow along with my Videos showing you EXACTLY how to Post a Job, Filter Applicants, and Offer a Contract to a dedicated Freelancer. You can hire people from anywhere in the world with just a laptop and an internet connection!

Outsourcing is a key element in building a Lifestyle Business designed to earn you money in your sleep, from anywhere in the world.

I've built and Outsourced two Lifestyle Businesses in the past Year alone, and I plan on building and outsourcing many, many more.

About Your Instructor:

Adam has run E-Commerce ventures since he was just 15 Years Old. With 7 Years under his belt, he's now 22 and specialises in Dropshipping. In 2016 he demonstrated his knowledge and ability in the E-Commerce field...

Firstly, on eBay, he started with £0, and was able to turn over £8000 in 8 weeks, without having ANY inventory.

More notably, in September he launched a brand new website on Shopify. Within 3 weeks he had already turned over more than £1000 in a single day, and within 3 months had already received multiple 6-Figure valuations for the website. Less than 4 weeks in to 2017, this website finally hit 6-Figures in Gross Sales in GBP £. Now with that business outsourced, Adam is spending a couple of months this year creating very detailed, comprehensive courses to teach others how to do the same.

A Word from Adam:

Now it's 2017, and I want to give back to the community that helped me grow in 2016. I'm planning a LIVE Case Study taking absolute newbies from Zero, no knowledge or experience in E-Commerce at all, right through to earning their first online income with a Dropshipping business. Then, I'm going to create some new content on how to Outsource using my favourite Freelancer Marketplace.

I have also created a dedicated Shopify Startups Facebook Group which I encourage you to Join and Participate in.

The Topics and Areas Covered in this Course include:

  • What is a Virtual Assistant?
  • Why do I need a Virtual Assistant?
  • Where can I find a Virtual Assistant?
  • An Introduction to Currency Arbitrage / Cost of Living Differences
  • Posting your first Job on UpWork
  • How to Filter Applicants using my '3-Factor Filtering Process'
  • How to Offer a Contract
  • How to Manage Virtual Assistants
  • An introduction to the UpWork Work Diary
  • An Introduction to UpWork Budgets and Payments
  • An Introduction to Trial Runs and how to Operate them

PLUS... Some Free Downloads!

  • Free Job Post Template you can use on your own UpWork Profile!

In addition, we also have a brand new Facebook Support Group for the Course.

The course has a lot of space for improvements, e.g., adding more depth, especially on common problems with delegating tasks. I would also like from the instructor that he makes sure that videos are not corrupted, or at least he takes some time (or hires someone:) ) to process the videos. (e.g., when he stops recording) Overall I think it was "okish" as a beginner guide, but even at the discounted price of 10 euros, it does not return the investment.

learned a few new things . much appreciated

By Adegboyega Adewumi on 4/29/2018

This is short but usable for someone new to the VA world, I was hoping for a more in-depth information. It could be a good resource for baseline info.

By Pontus Lagerberg on 12/13/2017

Was a bit short unlike the dropshipping course. Could have talked some more about management and communication with VA, as well as the maintenance work needed to uphold an VA.

By Richard on 11/27/2017

An great little course to compliment Adams previous best selling courses on Ecommerce.

Promised bonus materials about Oberlo were not included. One video (Video 12 on Section 4) is totally broken after 4th min till the end.

By Fanny Aguirre Márquez on 7/29/2017
