You will learn inside the video the system I use to manage an outsourced team with minimal effort. Whether you have one virtual assistant, or hundreds of people working for you this system makes your life very easy and is virtually mobile allowing you to travel and run this from anywhere in the world. Theres some great tools and softwares I share with you inside as well.
I want to share with you something that a lot of people particularly my coaching students and subscribers have been asking me is how do I manage all my virtual staff and all the team together, not having to spend so much time checking back and forth and managing the projects.
Use A Project Management System
What I would suggest highly is to create or to buy a system such as project management system to put into place. One that Ive been using very successfully is called ActiveCollab. ActiveCollab is not that expensive to buy, you can actually buy it outright for around $400 US. Once you set that system up, you can basically be able to access and transfer all the details and manage your day-to-day projects all in one place. Another system that you can use as well is called BasecampHQ and a lot of marketers out there also recommend it too, its very simple to use.
Inside the project management system, you can manage everything from your projects, staff, communication, etc. Its simply having a backlog thats loaded up into there. The great thing about running in a project management system is you can track whats going on. Thats what I love Ill just have to hop into the system and see how progress is working on this project, whats happening with this project, and so forth. Thats a great way doing it.
Keep Track Of All Login Details
One other thing I want to mention as well is keeping track of all passwords and usernames can be a hassle so what I also recommend doing is setting up an account in this system called Lastpass.com. What you can do from there is setup all your passwords inside this little system which is free, and have it linked out to your project management system so that if any of your virtual staff or team members needs to access your usernames or passwords for certain projects, they can easily use this system, log it in and once theyve put it straight up, theyll have complete access to anything that they need to do.
So those are two things that I want to clear up with people as I said, these 2 pieces of software that I highly recommend is ActiveCollab which you can just buy outright or setup for yourself which is a project management system, or BasecampHQ which is an online system which you just have to pay monthly fee and everything runs online there for you.
