How To Outsource Research Tasks

Fundamentally lots of individuals have already been returning to me and so saying, "Tyrone, I’m working to setup a process where I'm able to get my virtual assistant or my virtual staff to be able to research on particular topics and so forth…" then it’s actually very easy to do. All you need is to make sure that you have the right system. What exactly I want to reveal to you today is how to try and do that then how I start setting all this up. Currently, I had a lot of people who had been doing a lot of work for me then getting a lot of research done for my niche selection topics. Now, what I’m talking about that is the niche duel challenge that I’m running currently with Pat Flynn. And, requires a lot of time and energy to move through then find the appropriate niche markets and so to find the suitable products that will suit what we’re currently doing for our projects. Thus I outsource all that research tasks then all that type of niche market selection and so so forth. Then to do that properly and to carry out that correctly is firstly I have to ask them to understand just what exactly I'd prefer.







I try to get all the details that I have in my head and indicate it into a video recording or into a record to be able to understand specifically step by step what to perform. Hence the initial thing You should do is to make a simple video. Possibly only 5 minutes and you can use a really good software called Jing. Or if you don’t have Jing and so you don’t want to download it, it’s free, you can use Screenr.com which is also free online screen capturing software and so screen capture everything that you want her to accomplish. Now let’s just take for instance, I wanted my virtual assistant to carry out a research task on Clickbank to find out which markets would be viable to market and promote products in a niche market which is untapped. And, it wasn’t that difficult. All I had to is just get my Screenflow software on then I said look, please go here, click there, go here then primarily step-by-step process of what she needs to undertake. And so she needs to accomplish 20, 30 of these kind of researched topics then obviously she knows the procedure that’s going all in there. Then that’s how I start recommending her to carry out research topics.







Otherwise, if she needs to undertake something that I think that she’s quite intuitive and so if you provide them the responsiblity too, I'd just say look to accomplish research topic on say this niche market, please go out and so find top 10 topics that you would be interested in then also potentially writing content. This is a two-hour time frame that you have to have this completed and so go ahead and do it. Now, notice how I said two hours or time frame limit. If you don’t specify that, you generally are providing them with a legal limit to be able to say look, I’m going to go out there and so just spend as many hours as I expect. I hope they don’t do that but if you don’t restrict the time, it really doesn’t know how long they should be spending on a task. By forcing a time say 2 hours, 1 hour for research topic then it enables them to think okay, I’ve got to specify within say 2 hours, I have to spend 20 minutes or say 12 minutes on each topic researched then that’s it.







Thus that’s how I start researching topics or researching tasks. The other thing I just want to bring up as well, too is I don’t recommend sending this information via email to them because it’s very hard to keep an eye on what’s happening. As I’ve recommended numerous times to a lot of my students also to a lot of my members is to apply a project management system. A project management system allows you to keep track of all the things that are happening inside your project. So project management system I recommend is using ActiveCollab. And so inside ActiveCollab, you can do, you can set it all up as a way to setup your projects, setup your milestones and so the tickets which is generally to-do tasks. If you don’t have ActiveCollab, try BasecampHQ as well. That’s an excellent piece of project management software.







And so that’s simply how you begin creating your research tasks to your virtual assistant and just be certain that they understand what you want to try to to considering that the more that you specify and the more you’re clear with regards to the description and so the duties that you’ve got in hand, the quicker you get it done.
