My Interview With Outsourcing Expert Tyrone Shum
For those of you that are convinced…like I am, that outsourcing is your ticket to Freedom…both financially and personally, I have a special treat today.
I was given the opportunity to interview Tyrone Shum an Internet Marketer from Sydney, Australia who is an expert at outsourcing to the Philippines. What he shares for free in this video is well worth watching. The video is not short…it is 51 minutes long…but if outsourcing is your thing…you will be glued to what he says. Even if you only watch part of it, you will learn something I promise 
Tyrone generously shares his expertise about blogging and Internet Marketing on his blog “Internet Business Path.” Tyrone is the kind of marketer you want to be associated with…he simply over delivers on everything and offers an enormous amount of free material for you to view and read about the subject of outsourcing. He also has an awesome newsletter “Outsourcing Secrets” that you can sign up for at MassOutsouce.com, when you do, you will also receive absolutely free a copy of Tyrone’s enlightening ebook “Secrets of Outsourcing Experts Revealed.”
Not only does Tyrone cover the subject himself, but he interviews three top experts in the field of outsourcing. Tim Ferris…who was a huge influence on Tyrone early on (most people recognize him from the title of his best selling book “The Four Hour Work Week”, Jeff Mills of Outsourcing Secrets, and John Jonus of Replace Myself. I have written extensively on John and Jeff in previous posts…they are both highly regarded experts in this field and have a wealth of knowledge to share with you.
And if that isn’t enough to motivate you to head over to MassOutsource, you will also be treated to 10 FREE videos on outsourcing…specifically to the Philippines. If you aren’t convinced yet that outsourcing is the way to go, take a few minutes to view the video above and watch the 10 videos Tyrone offers….what an education
Tyrone is going to re-open his Mastermind Course on Outsourcing to the Philippines sometime most likely in April. You can always check back here as I will keep everyone updated when I get wind of the date. You can also sign up for early notification at MassOutsource.com/signup. Wouldn’t hurt to sign up and get informed and then you can make a wise decision about joining. I have already committed myself…I am definitely on board!
I got into this Internet marketing field specifically to gain Freedom in my life…it didn’t take me long to realize that I would be tied to a computer all day if I did not learn to outsource. Outsourcing to the Philippines is my answer and if freedom is your dream…like it is mine, I believe it is your answer too
enJOY….

Hi Kathy
Thank you for sharing your interview on outsourcing with us. I found it really informative and learned a lot from it.
I couldn’t believe you could hire a part-time worker for so little and I loved the idea Tyrone shared about sharing the cost with another marketer 50-50.
It’s certainly something I’m very interested in doing and will look into more.
Congratulations on an excellent interview , you did a really good job.
Warm Regards

Hi Dawn,
Thanks so much for taking the time to comment! Tyrone is just one of those marketers that over delivers on everything he teaches. I am going to join his Mastermind when it reopens so check back often for updates on outsourcing to the Philippines

Kathy,
Kudos on the video…great information.
I have been aware of the outsourcing aspect of marketing, but as of yet haven’t delved into it. Your interview with Tyrone certainly explains and answers some of the questions that I have had about it.
Thanks for that…
Keep up the good work!

Hi Kathy,
Terrific job in getting Tyrone to open up with this great FREE information.
This comes at a perfect time for me and my new business partner, Steve King.
We are creating a product (at the programmers right now) creating our new site and creating a membership area at http://www.jaysteve.com . We are feeding off of each other with new ideas and this video brings to light some of the things we need to consider.
So thank you very much to you and Tyrone for posting the video.
See you around the net!

Hi Kathy
Great work on the interview…You and Tyrone have certainly given me food for thought.
It’s good timing too as I have been looking at outsourcing some of my day to day operational tasks and I was going to use elance, which I use for my article writing, but this looks like a way to not only outsource but build my team at the same time.
I’m glad you covered the training aspect of outsourcing because that really can be time consuming especially if you are using different contractors for each task.
Having a project manager on board is a good idea (states the obvious
) as they can help manage the team once you become established and anything that reduces my own workload works for me.
The only thing that stopped me thinking about outsourcing in the Philippines before was really my own conscience, in that I wasn’t overly comfortable paying lower rates than I would expect to receive myself. Tyrone paints a good picture about it and being a good income relative to their part of the world…and the salesman in me would always recognise good performance and pay a bonus anyway..win-win all round I think.
Anyway thanks to you and Tyrone and I’ll look forward to hearing about the progress you make.
Thanks for your kind comment too Kathy…maybe we can do something together in the near future
Good luck
Cheers
Steve

Steve,
thanks for your valuable comment! I totally understand your reluctance to hire at the pay rate that simply would not work in either one of our countries.
But, I soon realized that people in the Philippines need work badly and these wages are standard middle income over there…a good place to start. Then once they have proven their worth…you can give them a raise…and, always consider bonuses!

Hi Kathy,
I have watched the video the other day, and i also know that of late you have been getting more and more involved in outsourcing for your business in the philliphines, and i thought your video was awesome!
I also enjoyed listening to Tyrones background story, and i can tell he is passionate about his business, i felt you both created an excellent video interview, and in all honesty you both inspired me that much when the time comes for outsourcing my work i know where to go!
Great post, great video….Ed.

I’ll give you a nudge when I start class

Great video! You really did a good job of interviewing Tyrone Shum: very informative! Although I had some prior knowledge of outsourcing, your interview revealed (in-depth) new aspects of outsourcing of which I was not aware. Best of all, this detailed information is FREE! Thanks so much for the post; you and Tyrone definitely “clicked” (pun intended!). KEEP UP THE DYNAMITE WORK!
Thanks again,

Yo Kathy! A movie star, congratulations and well done on what was a really interesting video. I have not thought too much about outsourcing before but after watching this video and seeing the possibilities open before my eyes I am certainly going to look into it more.
Both Tyrone and yourself explained the details in such depth that I would be a fool not to follow up on this.
Thanks for sharing this Kathy and Tyrone, I will certainly be in touch when I have cleared the decks on my jobs in hand.

I didn’t think I was going to watch but a few minutes of the video, Kathy, but found myself drawn in and a nearly an hour later had a wealth of information. Tyrone had great personal experience to draw on, and his insight flowed with some deft guidance from your questions and commentary.
We’ll be watching for more!

Hi everyone,
Thanks for leaving comments and it was a real pleasure to do this interview with Kathy. I enjoyed sharing this information with Kathy and hopefully it will help everyone learn more about how to outsource to the Philippines.
@Steve – yes I understand what you meant by lower rates, though this is the norm for them and it’s because of the exchange rates that make the rates look low. I’d take a leap of faith and I can guarantee you that you’ll gain more in this experience!
@Barry – in answer to your system about this, yes it’s a complete system that you can have your virtual staff follow and it’s inside my Mastermind course.
Love to hear any more feedback and I will be happy to answer any other questions.
Thank you to Kathy again!

Thanks again Tyrone…for everything!

Hi Kathy,
I was able to watch the rest of this great video last night.
I know Tyrone is looking for Mastermind participants but this year I’m focusing on hanging with John. Shore would like to talk to anyone going this route about sharing an employee.
Thanks Kathy, have a grand day.

Hey Kathy,
I can see you making a rake of commissions from Tyrone once he opens the doors…lol
I’ve been keeping up with your posts as the subject matter is of real interest.
I hope Tyrones ‘system’ covers the what to get outsourced as well as training the workers – as that is where I sit and wonder where to start…lol
We all get to a stage of knowing we need to do it – but deciding what to outsource and how is a biggie!
I’m looking forward to getting more insights from you as to which way to go …
Especially as there seems to be so much good info on all the sites you mentioned!
Who to go with???
Can’t wait top see your thoughts

I do hope you follow along Randy as I will be posting about my progress with the course. I know that Tyrone’s course will answer your questions: “what to outsource” and well as training the workers.
He is relaunching his outsourcing MasterMind on April 20th…(I’ve already joined
Stay tuned…and, thanks for stopping by!

Hi Kathy,
Thanks for a great interview. As a prior bricks and mortar business woman, I have experienced that the team created dictates the
quality and quantity of work that can be done. There is so much opportunity with internet marketing and the web, just so much ground to cover! Therefore it is wonderful to hear that Tyrone and others have set up successful outsourcing teams from the Philippines that enables them to cover the necessary work, since there are boatloads…! Frees one up to create those multiple streams of income…
When I mentioned the idea to my family they boohooed me about sweat shops and slave labor. Yet, as you stated, as the business develops and grows in profits, salary increases and bonuses will resolve the problem of balance and fair business practices.
I look forward to Tyrone’s Master class to journey down the A to Z
path in Outsourcing wisdom and know how.

Suzen,
I can appreciate that your family thinks that it is sweat shops and slave labor…but, nothing could be further from the truth. In actuality, they need the work over there and $400 a month is about middle income. So, yes, if we were to pay that over here, it would be slave labor…but in the Philippines it is mid-income for a family and they are grateful to be making a good living. Giving them bonuses and increases goes without saying…that is just part of being a good boss who appreciates their employees whether it be here in the states or in the Philippines.
I am looking forward to Tyrone’s course and I know you are too!
Thanks for your comment…:)

Thanks for the interview Kathy. Tyrone’s website is a great free resource for anyone thinking about outsourcing. Before you make your first hire, you may like to read of my own experiences hiring Virtual Assistants at http://www.OutsourceToolbox.com There is also a free 12 page guide to the hiring and selection process that shows the exact process I used to “get it right” the second time around
