00:00:00	00:00:03	so in this video i want to tok about
00:00:02	00:00:06	outsourcing
00:00:03	00:00:07	and hiring a virtual assistant or you
00:00:06	00:00:10	know just hiring in general
00:00:07	00:00:11	to run your drop shipping business okay
00:00:10	00:00:13	now you can do this for ebay drop
00:00:11	00:00:14	shipping you can do this for amazon drop
00:00:13	00:00:15	shipping
00:00:14	00:00:16	you can do this for really any
00:00:15	00:00:18	e-commerce business i don't know why i
00:00:16	00:00:20	didn't add one that's three
00:00:18	00:00:21	and you can obviously do this for your
00:00:20	00:00:23	facebook drop shipping business which is
00:00:21	00:00:24	primarily what we're going to be toking
00:00:23	00:00:26	about here okay
00:00:24	00:00:28	now in my opinion there's three main
00:00:26	00:00:30	ways to do this and i wanted to tackle
00:00:28	00:00:32	this question because this seems to be a
00:00:30	00:00:34	recurring question that i constantly get
00:00:32	00:00:37	almost every video as well as through
00:00:34	00:00:39	email almost on a daily basis and i
00:00:37	00:00:39	totally get it the first time i hired
00:00:39	00:00:42	somebody
00:00:39	00:00:44	uh was about a month ago i think and so
00:00:42	00:00:46	before that i literally
00:00:44	00:00:48	didn't know anything about it i had to
00:00:46	00:00:49	learn it on my own and then put it into
00:00:48	00:00:51	practike and kind of take
00:00:49	00:00:52	the leap of faith higher it worked out
00:00:51	00:00:54	obviously
00:00:52	00:00:55	one of the best things i did and
00:00:54	00:00:56	probably one of the best things you can
00:00:55	00:00:58	do
00:00:56	00:01:00	to scale your business make more money
00:00:58	00:01:01	and take your time out of the equation
00:01:00	00:01:02	right
00:01:01	00:01:04	but like i don't want you to go in blind
00:01:02	00:01:06	and have to learn along the way so i'm
00:01:04	00:01:07	gonna outline exactly how i did it here
00:01:06	00:01:09	how i recommend that you do it and the
00:01:07	00:01:10	three main ways
00:01:09	00:01:12	that you can approach this okay if you
00:01:10	00:01:13	have any questions too just drop them
00:01:12	00:01:14	down below
00:01:13	00:01:15	in the comment section and as always if
00:01:14	00:01:16	you guys want to scale your drop
00:01:15	00:01:18	shipping business
00:01:16	00:01:20	dropship pro is linked in the
00:01:18	00:01:22	description as well okay
00:01:20	00:01:24	so there's three main ways like i said
00:01:22	00:01:25	the first way is to basically hire
00:01:24	00:01:27	somebody
00:01:25	00:01:28	local and i'm primarily gearing this to
00:01:27	00:01:29	the first way that we're toking about
00:01:28	00:01:31	here
00:01:29	00:01:32	towards people that are primarily in the
00:01:31	00:01:34	us because obviously if you're drop
00:01:32	00:01:36	shipping with facebook marketplace
00:01:34	00:01:37	if you're amazon or ebay it's gonna be
00:01:36	00:01:39	slightly different but very very similar
00:01:37	00:01:40	but if you're drop shipping primarily
00:01:39	00:01:42	with facebook marketplace chances are
00:01:40	00:01:42	you have the shipping option and you're
00:01:42	00:01:44	in the us
00:01:42	00:01:46	otherwise you wouldn't be coming back
00:01:44	00:01:49	recurring watching all these videos
00:01:46	00:01:50	in sequence right so if you hire
00:01:49	00:01:51	somebody local or you hire somebody that
00:01:50	00:01:53	you know
00:01:51	00:01:54	obviously the drawbacks of that and this
00:01:53	00:01:56	is something i've kind of mixed the
00:01:54	00:01:57	first one that we're going to tok about
00:01:56	00:01:58	here with the third one that we're going
00:01:57	00:02:02	to tok about here in a second
00:01:58	00:02:03	uh this is the the drawbacks of doing
00:02:02	00:02:05	that are obviously you have to pay more
00:02:03	00:02:07	for somebody in the u.s right so the
00:02:05	00:02:08	growing rate i believe minimum wage in
00:02:07	00:02:10	most states
00:02:08	00:02:11	ish is like i think there i honestly
00:02:10	00:02:13	don't even know but i think the minimum
00:02:11	00:02:14	wage in some states is like eight bucks
00:02:13	00:02:16	or like 850
00:02:14	00:02:18	something like that don't quote me on
00:02:16	00:02:19	that i should probably know that but for
00:02:18	00:02:20	most states you're probably going to be
00:02:19	00:02:21	looking at paying anywhere from like 10
00:02:20	00:02:23	to 12
00:02:21	00:02:25	right now currently um and that's like a
00:02:23	00:02:27	good going rate for most people right
00:02:25	00:02:28	the benefit of that or that's obviously
00:02:27	00:02:29	a drawback that you have to spend that
00:02:28	00:02:31	kind of money whereas
00:02:29	00:02:33	what if you outsource to somebody in the
00:02:31	00:02:35	philippines or you outsource somebody
00:02:33	00:02:37	you know in another country you can pay
00:02:35	00:02:38	a lot less and don't get me wrong that
00:02:37	00:02:39	has its benefits we're going to outline
00:02:38	00:02:41	as well
00:02:39	00:02:43	but so you're paying more but on top of
00:02:41	00:02:44	that you can almost have them as like
00:02:43	00:02:47	your actual
00:02:44	00:02:48	real assistant and you can train them to
00:02:47	00:02:49	do so many other aspects of your
00:02:48	00:02:50	business
00:02:49	00:02:52	and they can pretty much tackle
00:02:50	00:02:53	everything with you right so they're
00:02:52	00:02:55	going to speak english you're going to
00:02:53	00:02:55	be able to communicate back and forth
00:02:55	00:02:57	them
00:02:55	00:02:59	a lot easier you're going to be able to
00:02:57	00:02:59	train them on multiple things right
00:02:59	00:03:01	because
00:02:59	00:03:03	if you outsource to a va in another
00:03:01	00:03:06	country chances are you have to build a
00:03:03	00:03:06	system or give them tutorials or train
00:03:06	00:03:10	them on a
00:03:06	00:03:11	specific a specific aspect of your
00:03:10	00:03:12	business right
00:03:11	00:03:14	whether that's product research
00:03:12	00:03:16	specifically whether that's
00:03:14	00:03:17	you know sourcing specifically or not
00:03:16	00:03:18	sourcing i guess ordering and order
00:03:17	00:03:20	fulfillment
00:03:18	00:03:21	uh specifically whether that's listing
00:03:20	00:03:23	specifically right and so
00:03:21	00:03:24	most people if you're outsourcing to a
00:03:23	00:03:26	different country are going to have va's
00:03:24	00:03:27	for each specific thing right
00:03:26	00:03:29	so you have to manage more va's that do
00:03:27	00:03:30	individual tasks
00:03:29	00:03:32	and then pay them all slight you know
00:03:30	00:03:33	obviously per hour even though it's
00:03:32	00:03:34	cheaper
00:03:33	00:03:36	if you outsource somebody locally that
00:03:34	00:03:38	you know obviously you have that trust
00:03:36	00:03:39	factor or even if you hire somebody
00:03:38	00:03:41	locally
00:03:39	00:03:42	or within the us you're going to pay
00:03:41	00:03:43	more but you have that trust factor you
00:03:42	00:03:45	can uh
00:03:43	00:03:46	obviously have them do more things for
00:03:45	00:03:48	you right so
00:03:46	00:03:50	hypothetikally let's just look at the
00:03:48	00:03:52	numbers right if you
00:03:50	00:03:53	are making even a hundred bucks a day
00:03:52	00:03:54	which
00:03:53	00:03:56	practikally everybody can do if you're
00:03:54	00:03:58	in the us and you can scale it up to a
00:03:56	00:04:00	hundred bucks a day at least
00:03:58	00:04:01	most days it depends my sales were like
00:04:00	00:04:02	super super high this month and then
00:04:01	00:04:03	like
00:04:02	00:04:05	this past week they kind of crashed a
00:04:03	00:04:06	little bit but still i'm on pace to hit
00:04:05	00:04:08	about six grand
00:04:06	00:04:09	at the end of today so sales are going
00:04:08	00:04:11	pretty well right so i don't know what
00:04:09	00:04:13	that comes out to daily but it's
00:04:11	00:04:15	obviously over 100 bucks right
00:04:13	00:04:16	so if you're making over 100 bucks and
00:04:15	00:04:18	you're paying
00:04:16	00:04:20	your you know somebody within the us
00:04:18	00:04:20	about 10 to 12 an hour let's just take
00:04:20	00:04:22	10
00:04:20	00:04:24	an hour so that it's easy to do the math
00:04:22	00:04:26	here and you're paying them for
00:04:24	00:04:28	even eight hours of a day right that's
00:04:26	00:04:29	80 bucks that you're paying
00:04:28	00:04:31	right so if you're making more than 100
00:04:29	00:04:32	bucks that you're still profitable and
00:04:31	00:04:34	you're not doing
00:04:32	00:04:35	anything because you can you can train
00:04:34	00:04:37	that person to literally do
00:04:35	00:04:39	every aspect of your business right and
00:04:37	00:04:41	then as they scale your business for you
00:04:39	00:04:43	you just net more profit right
00:04:41	00:04:44	now in the beginning if you don't need
00:04:43	00:04:46	them to work eight hours a day for you
00:04:44	00:04:48	maybe you only need them to work two
00:04:46	00:04:49	hours or four hours or five hours right
00:04:48	00:04:52	well then you're only paying them 20
00:04:49	00:04:52	bucks a day 40 bucks a day 50 bucks a
00:04:52	00:04:54	day
00:04:52	00:04:56	80 bucks a day whatever it is and again
00:04:54	00:04:57	they're scaling your business doing all
00:04:56	00:04:57	the grunt work while you're doing
00:04:57	00:04:59	whatever
00:04:57	00:05:01	else it is that you're doing enjoying
00:04:59	00:05:03	your life going to the beach right
00:05:01	00:05:05	taking little johnny to soccer practike
00:05:03	00:05:05	or even working on another aspect of
00:05:05	00:05:07	your business
00:05:05	00:05:08	maybe you're doing drop shipping or
00:05:07	00:05:09	scaling an e-commerce side of your
00:05:08	00:05:11	business
00:05:09	00:05:13	with something else entirely right and
00:05:11	00:05:14	so they're going to do all the grunt
00:05:13	00:05:17	work and then
00:05:14	00:05:18	and it's still a a really desirable job
00:05:17	00:05:20	for them because
00:05:18	00:05:21	they can work anywhere right they can
00:05:20	00:05:23	work from the comfort of their own home
00:05:21	00:05:24	they can work on their couch doing
00:05:23	00:05:26	pretty much whatever they want and they
00:05:24	00:05:28	can work from their computer right
00:05:26	00:05:29	so it's a very desirable job to have if
00:05:28	00:05:31	you compare something like
00:05:29	00:05:32	working at like mcdonald's or like
00:05:31	00:05:33	working out like somewhere like target
00:05:32	00:05:35	for somebody
00:05:33	00:05:37	well they're getting like 10 to 12 bucks
00:05:35	00:05:38	an hour if they're a high school student
00:05:37	00:05:40	who already has like the the the
00:05:38	00:05:41	computer skills to do a job like this
00:05:40	00:05:43	right
00:05:41	00:05:44	and they would prefer to do the job that
00:05:43	00:05:46	you're asking them from uh
00:05:44	00:05:47	to from their the comfort of their own
00:05:46	00:05:48	home on their couch with their own
00:05:47	00:05:50	computer
00:05:48	00:05:51	rather than like going into target
00:05:50	00:05:53	dealing with customers and having to
00:05:51	00:05:54	stok shelves or going into mcdonald's
00:05:53	00:05:56	and dealing with customers and taking
00:05:54	00:05:56	orders or flipping burgers or whatever
00:05:56	00:05:59	it is right
00:05:56	00:06:00	so you're offering a very desirable job
00:05:59	00:06:02	you're paying them a good a good
00:06:00	00:06:03	hourly wage and they're scaling your
00:06:02	00:06:05	business for you
00:06:03	00:06:06	and then obviously as you build more
00:06:05	00:06:08	trust with that person they can take
00:06:06	00:06:09	over more aspects of your business right
00:06:08	00:06:11	so i'm not just toking about
00:06:09	00:06:12	outsourcing and having them listing for
00:06:11	00:06:14	you right
00:06:12	00:06:15	or outsourcing them and outsourcing to
00:06:14	00:06:16	them and hiring them for just you know
00:06:15	00:06:18	order fulfillment
00:06:16	00:06:20	they can do your listing they can do
00:06:18	00:06:23	your order fulfillment they
00:06:20	00:06:25	can do your renewals which as you scale
00:06:23	00:06:26	trust me i have probably over 10 000
00:06:25	00:06:29	listings now
00:06:26	00:06:30	and renewals every single day suck to do
00:06:29	00:06:32	by yourself okay
00:06:30	00:06:33	so they can do all that for you right
00:06:32	00:06:35	they can also
00:06:33	00:06:36	do product research they can work on
00:06:35	00:06:38	other aspects of your business
00:06:36	00:06:39	they can do customer service and
00:06:38	00:06:41	constantly answer your messages
00:06:39	00:06:43	so you can be doing and scaling your
00:06:41	00:06:46	business and going about your life right
00:06:43	00:06:47	so this in my opinion is the best way to
00:06:46	00:06:48	do it
00:06:47	00:06:50	i'm going to tok about the other two
00:06:48	00:06:52	here that are more remote and scaling
00:06:50	00:06:53	outside obviously and hiring va's
00:06:52	00:06:55	outside of the country right
00:06:53	00:06:56	but i think that that is something that
00:06:55	00:06:58	a lot of people don't tok about
00:06:56	00:06:59	and something that a lot of you should
00:06:58	00:07:01	actually consider and it's definitely
00:06:59	00:07:02	something i've considered and i've
00:07:01	00:07:04	actually mixed this first one
00:07:02	00:07:05	with the third one we're going to tok
00:07:04	00:07:07	about here in a second okay so i'm sure
00:07:05	00:07:08	i missed some positives there i'm sure i
00:07:07	00:07:09	missed some negatives but start to think
00:07:08	00:07:12	about
00:07:09	00:07:14	actually starting a legitimate business
00:07:12	00:07:15	and hiring somebody within the u.s that
00:07:14	00:07:17	you you can build trust with
00:07:15	00:07:19	and they can work on you know as like an
00:07:17	00:07:20	assistant that's actually
00:07:19	00:07:22	running the entirety of your drop
00:07:20	00:07:24	shipping business right not just
00:07:22	00:07:27	outsourcing specific tasks
00:07:24	00:07:29	overseas okay that's the first method i
00:07:27	00:07:31	highly recommend thinking about that
00:07:29	00:07:33	but again don't just jump in blindly if
00:07:31	00:07:34	you're making like 50 bucks a day profit
00:07:33	00:07:36	probably something you shouldn't do
00:07:34	00:07:38	right now is higher right you should
00:07:36	00:07:39	work on scaling it yourself
00:07:38	00:07:41	we're really toking about like making a
00:07:39	00:07:42	hundred bucks a day or more
00:07:41	00:07:44	that's when that type of stuff comes
00:07:42	00:07:45	into play you should start thinking
00:07:44	00:07:47	about doing this
00:07:45	00:07:49	and scaling a legitimate business okay
00:07:47	00:07:50	because then as you move into like other
00:07:49	00:07:51	parts of drop shipping or other parts of
00:07:50	00:07:53	e-commerce
00:07:51	00:07:55	that person can learn grow with you and
00:07:53	00:07:58	help you scale your business
00:07:55	00:07:59	as well okay the second way is to hire
00:07:58	00:08:02	somebody overseas
00:07:59	00:08:04	with a vpn right or proxy so that they
00:08:02	00:08:07	can use the vpn service
00:08:04	00:08:08	to sign in with all your accounts and it
00:08:07	00:08:09	makes it look like they're in the us
00:08:08	00:08:11	okay
00:08:09	00:08:13	this is probably the one that most
00:08:11	00:08:14	people tok about here but i'm just
00:08:13	00:08:15	gonna x this out of the way i don't know
00:08:14	00:08:17	why i'm like holding it up like x like
00:08:15	00:08:20	dez bryant almost
00:08:17	00:08:22	hate the cowboys um but i'm just gonna x
00:08:20	00:08:24	this out right away because personally
00:08:22	00:08:25	i don't like it i don't trust a proxy
00:08:24	00:08:26	facebook i know from running ads
00:08:25	00:08:28	facebook
00:08:26	00:08:29	is like god somehow right they know
00:08:28	00:08:31	almost everything
00:08:29	00:08:33	and so i don't trust any proxies i don't
00:08:31	00:08:34	trust any vpns
00:08:33	00:08:36	i think eventually you're gonna get
00:08:34	00:08:38	caught and i think you know it's gonna
00:08:36	00:08:40	look a little bit shady if facebook sees
00:08:38	00:08:43	you pinging like a vpn from texas
00:08:40	00:08:45	or pinging a vpn uh from california and
00:08:43	00:08:46	you're signing into an ip address there
00:08:45	00:08:48	and then like two hours later you're
00:08:46	00:08:49	signing in from like new york or
00:08:48	00:08:50	something like that right
00:08:49	00:08:52	this is just my personal opinion i know
00:08:50	00:08:53	there's a lot of other people out there
00:08:52	00:08:55	that use vpns
00:08:53	00:08:57	hire people from the philippines or hire
00:08:55	00:09:00	people from india or wherever
00:08:57	00:09:01	and it works well for them i personally
00:09:00	00:09:03	don't trust it so i don't want to
00:09:01	00:09:04	recommend it but i wanted to touch on it
00:09:03	00:09:05	here okay
00:09:04	00:09:07	so that's number two the first one is
00:09:05	00:09:08	hire somebody locally
00:09:07	00:09:11	in the u.s actually scale a real
00:09:08	00:09:12	legitimate business pay them like 10 to
00:09:11	00:09:14	12 bucks an hour and they can take over
00:09:12	00:09:16	everything for you as you train them
00:09:14	00:09:18	slowly right
00:09:16	00:09:19	the second one is use a vpn outsource it
00:09:18	00:09:20	and we're going to tok about how to
00:09:19	00:09:22	specifically outsource here at the end
00:09:20	00:09:25	of the video here in a second
00:09:22	00:09:27	so hire somebody you have them use a vpn
00:09:25	00:09:28	and sign in to your accounts
00:09:27	00:09:31	the third one is the one that i've mixed
00:09:28	00:09:33	with number one and that is to basically
00:09:31	00:09:34	hire somebody from overseas relatively
00:09:33	00:09:37	cheap right
00:09:34	00:09:38	and then you can have them sign into a
00:09:37	00:09:40	software which
00:09:38	00:09:41	mirrors your computer right so for
00:09:40	00:09:43	example this i don't want to turn this
00:09:41	00:09:45	because this computer is kind of broken
00:09:43	00:09:46	but right now i don't know if they're
00:09:45	00:09:48	actually on it right now but i have a
00:09:46	00:09:50	laptop that just sits here right
00:09:48	00:09:51	and i have another laptop and i have my
00:09:50	00:09:54	main desktop computer okay
00:09:51	00:09:56	and so this laptop specifically is just
00:09:54	00:09:58	for my facebook marketplace um
00:09:56	00:09:59	va and what they do is this has a
00:09:58	00:10:01	software on it
00:09:59	00:10:03	and there's many software's out there
00:10:01	00:10:05	that you can uh basically
00:10:03	00:10:06	download teamviewer is one of them
00:10:05	00:10:07	that's super popular and i believe
00:10:06	00:10:09	there's a free
00:10:07	00:10:11	way to get teamviewer for free so that's
00:10:09	00:10:14	team viewer
00:10:11	00:10:15	right one word teamviewer.com but
00:10:14	00:10:17	eventually as you scale you're gonna
00:10:15	00:10:19	need to sign up for teamviewer and pay i
00:10:17	00:10:20	think it's like 99 bucks a month so i
00:10:19	00:10:22	didn't want to do that because like
00:10:20	00:10:23	when i like i said like i was learning
00:10:22	00:10:24	the ropes about a month ago so i don't
00:10:23	00:10:26	want to just jump into like a hundred
00:10:24	00:10:27	dollar software without knowing anything
00:10:26	00:10:28	or even if it was worth it or if it
00:10:27	00:10:31	would work for me
00:10:28	00:10:32	so what i did is i did i i researched a
00:10:31	00:10:34	bunch of other ones
00:10:32	00:10:36	and i came across one that was splashtop
00:10:34	00:10:37	that had a bunch of good ratings so
00:10:36	00:10:39	that's what i use
00:10:37	00:10:41	splashtop right and so what i do or what
00:10:39	00:10:43	you can do is you download the splashtop
00:10:41	00:10:45	or the teamviewer or whatever software
00:10:43	00:10:47	to compute your computer
00:10:45	00:10:48	you then instruct whoever you hire to
00:10:47	00:10:50	download that same software
00:10:48	00:10:52	and then they can sign into your
00:10:50	00:10:53	computer with your sign in and your
00:10:52	00:10:56	password
00:10:53	00:10:57	and work from your computer your ip
00:10:56	00:10:58	address and then facebook's never gonna
00:10:57	00:11:00	know
00:10:58	00:11:01	it's just them signing into the software
00:11:00	00:11:03	from your computer
00:11:01	00:11:05	and working from your computer okay
00:11:03	00:11:08	that's the safest way to do it
00:11:05	00:11:09	splashtop i believe is only like 9 to 19
00:11:08	00:11:10	bucks a month depending on what plan you
00:11:09	00:11:11	use i think there's like a more
00:11:10	00:11:12	expensive plan
00:11:11	00:11:14	but you only need like the first or the
00:11:12	00:11:14	second one you don't need the expensive
00:11:14	00:11:16	plan
00:11:14	00:11:17	depending on how many va's you have and
00:11:16	00:11:18	how many people are actually signing
00:11:17	00:11:20	into your computer at once or
00:11:18	00:11:23	you know whatever it is your splashtop
00:11:20	00:11:24	thing so that's what i recommend right
00:11:23	00:11:26	we toked about one we toked about too
00:11:24	00:11:28	and this is obviously three i recommend
00:11:26	00:11:30	thinking about one i recommend thinking
00:11:28	00:11:32	about number three i wouldn't recommend
00:11:30	00:11:34	using a vpn again that's just my opinion
00:11:32	00:11:36	um splashtop works very very well it's
00:11:34	00:11:39	what i currently use you can actually
00:11:36	00:11:40	see the person on my computer right now
00:11:39	00:11:42	moving around i don't know if you can
00:11:40	00:11:44	see that because i don't want to tilt my
00:11:42	00:11:46	my screen because the screen's broken a
00:11:44	00:11:47	little bit but they actually are on
00:11:46	00:11:48	there right now there you see them
00:11:47	00:11:50	scrolling
00:11:48	00:11:52	um so that's a great software highly
00:11:50	00:11:53	recommend it it's super super cheap
00:11:52	00:11:55	now the ways that you can go about
00:11:53	00:11:56	outsourcing are obviously you have your
00:11:55	00:11:57	main
00:11:56	00:11:59	things like fiverr and upwork right so
00:11:57	00:12:01	like you're you go to those those
00:11:59	00:12:02	websites and their freelance websites
00:12:01	00:12:03	those are really really easy to get
00:12:02	00:12:04	started with
00:12:03	00:12:06	and then obviously as you find different
00:12:04	00:12:07	people and you test them out you can
00:12:06	00:12:09	move them
00:12:07	00:12:10	uh directly to you and pay them directly
00:12:09	00:12:12	it's great
00:12:10	00:12:13	using fiverr and upwork because they act
00:12:12	00:12:14	as the middleman and a lot of these
00:12:13	00:12:16	times you're hiring somebody from
00:12:14	00:12:18	overseas that you don't necessarily have
00:12:16	00:12:20	that built-in trust with yet
00:12:18	00:12:22	so you can use a website like fiverr and
00:12:20	00:12:24	upwork to test those things out
00:12:22	00:12:25	and then they'll be the middle man with
00:12:24	00:12:27	your money so that you don't have to pay
00:12:25	00:12:29	that person unless they fulfill their
00:12:27	00:12:30	actual task and job
00:12:29	00:12:32	and then you can use those websites to
00:12:30	00:12:34	vet people and then
00:12:32	00:12:36	hire them and pay them directly and
00:12:34	00:12:37	bring them off of the websites
00:12:36	00:12:39	so that they're making more you're not
00:12:37	00:12:41	paying as much of a high percentage
00:12:39	00:12:42	because the website takes their cut
00:12:41	00:12:45	and you can use it as like a good
00:12:42	00:12:46	starting point to find va's for you okay
00:12:45	00:12:49	another great website that you can use
00:12:46	00:12:50	is onlinejobs.ph which is specifically
00:12:49	00:12:52	philippines i know a lot of people
00:12:50	00:12:53	recommend that i've used it before
00:12:52	00:12:55	didn't use it to find mine but it is a
00:12:53	00:12:56	good one that you can use there's a lot
00:12:55	00:12:57	of good va's on there with ecommerce
00:12:56	00:12:59	experience
00:12:57	00:13:01	and another really slept on one is just
00:12:59	00:13:03	join um
00:13:01	00:13:04	virtual assistant facebook groups or so
00:13:03	00:13:06	virtual assistant facebook groups
00:13:04	00:13:07	there's a ton of them out there with a
00:13:06	00:13:09	lot of people hiring like looking to
00:13:07	00:13:10	to become virtual assistants that you
00:13:09	00:13:11	can go ahead and interview a bunch of
00:13:10	00:13:13	people
00:13:11	00:13:14	or test a bunch of people and see who's
00:13:13	00:13:16	the best for it
00:13:14	00:13:18	or you can even go to a specific group
00:13:16	00:13:19	for that right so like if you're doing
00:13:18	00:13:21	facebook drop shipping
00:13:19	00:13:23	well then go to a facebook marketplace
00:13:21	00:13:24	dropshipping group find a va in there
00:13:23	00:13:26	right so those are
00:13:24	00:13:28	uh five different ways that you can go
00:13:26	00:13:28	ahead and actually outsource and hire
00:13:28	00:13:31	somebody
00:13:28	00:13:32	so there's fiverr there's upwork there's
00:13:31	00:13:34	online jobs.ph
00:13:32	00:13:35	there's facebook groups for virtual
00:13:34	00:13:36	assistants and then there's facebook
00:13:35	00:13:38	groups for your specific
00:13:36	00:13:40	you know ecommerce business that you're
00:13:38	00:13:41	doing okay what i would recommend that
00:13:40	00:13:43	you do regardless of which one that you
00:13:41	00:13:43	actually choose whether it's one two or
00:13:43	00:13:45	three
00:13:43	00:13:47	and the medium that you actually decide
00:13:45	00:13:48	to ha to hire with whatever website it
00:13:47	00:13:49	is or whatever
00:13:48	00:13:51	facebook group don't just pick one
00:13:49	00:13:53	person and hire them
00:13:51	00:13:54	because even if they're like half decent
00:13:53	00:13:56	you're not gonna know like what's good
00:13:54	00:13:58	and what's bad unless you test a bunch
00:13:56	00:13:59	of different people okay
00:13:58	00:14:01	so i would say at least hire three to
00:13:59	00:14:03	five people and
00:14:01	00:14:05	give them similar jobs right and see how
00:14:03	00:14:07	they perform and then whoever stands out
00:14:05	00:14:09	stik with that person or the couple
00:14:07	00:14:09	people that stik out stik with those
00:14:09	00:14:11	people
00:14:09	00:14:13	and then eventually take them off
00:14:11	00:14:14	platform and pay them directly
00:14:13	00:14:16	if they're obviously within the us you
00:14:14	00:14:17	can pay them within the u.s using
00:14:16	00:14:20	something
00:14:17	00:14:22	like a you can use like a software which
00:14:20	00:14:23	i use for my company which is gus though
00:14:22	00:14:25	and they handle all your payroll
00:14:23	00:14:26	if you are just paying them directly
00:14:25	00:14:29	then i recommend using
00:14:26	00:14:30	a like a quickbooks type of subscription
00:14:29	00:14:31	and paying them through like venmo or
00:14:30	00:14:32	paypal
00:14:31	00:14:34	or you know something like that and then
00:14:32	00:14:36	just writing those off as like expenses
00:14:34	00:14:39	for like freelance work
00:14:36	00:14:41	or what you can do is you can if it's
00:14:39	00:14:42	overseas you can just pay them directly
00:14:41	00:14:44	through western union and believe me
00:14:42	00:14:45	this is probably the hardest part
00:14:44	00:14:48	about hiring someone from overseas is
00:14:45	00:14:49	like finding a payment processor like
00:14:48	00:14:51	that that you trust
00:14:49	00:14:53	that can that you can pay them in u.s
00:14:51	00:14:55	currency or whatever currency you're in
00:14:53	00:14:56	and that it then collects it transfers
00:14:55	00:14:58	it to their currency and then pays them
00:14:56	00:15:00	out through that currency
00:14:58	00:15:01	and the the exchange rate is pretty much
00:15:00	00:15:02	handled for you
00:15:01	00:15:04	and you don't really need to worry about
00:15:02	00:15:05	any of that stuff so that's just kind of
00:15:04	00:15:06	spitballing off the top of my head i
00:15:05	00:15:08	didn't really plan this video but i
00:15:06	00:15:10	wanted to get it out to
00:15:08	00:15:11	yeah i wanted to get it out today
00:15:10	00:15:12	because a lot of people have this
00:15:11	00:15:13	question
00:15:12	00:15:15	and i've been meaning to make this video
00:15:13	00:15:17	i've just been super busy scaling my
00:15:15	00:15:19	ecommerce side of the business
00:15:17	00:15:20	i'm really excited to make the next
00:15:19	00:15:22	video probably in like 12 days about
00:15:20	00:15:24	like how much i made this month
00:15:22	00:15:26	again facebook marketplace should be
00:15:24	00:15:26	about six grand profit by the end of
00:15:26	00:15:29	today
00:15:26	00:15:31	it's only the 18th so realistikally i
00:15:29	00:15:32	think i'm gonna hit the 10k
00:15:31	00:15:34	i don't know what what pace that sets me
00:15:32	00:15:36	on but it's looking like i'm gonna hit
00:15:34	00:15:37	10k for facebook marketplace
00:15:36	00:15:39	i'm also working on hiring virtual
00:15:37	00:15:40	assistants and scaling my amazon side of
