Mark great tips. I have been using outsourcing for a few tasks and it has been a big help freeing up my time to focus on more “money” tasks.

BTW.. Glad to see you dumped that side scrolling pop up 🙂

I too am so glad your not promoting Frank Kern it looks like every affiliate marketer and his mother are falling over themselves to promote it and offering mountains of bonuses to buy through them, thank goodness we have you and Josh to tell us how it really is, keep up the good work and a nice article about Macdonalds

Howdy Mark!

So where exactly do I put that darn pickle? 🙂

Outsourcing sounds great! And outsourcing, I know, provides much-needed employment for many skilled Filipinos. I sincerely appreciate your suggestions on outsourcing.

Hello Mark

I haven’t made a dollar online as yet, mainly because I keep looking but not taking action.
Getting bombarded daily with offers eg List Control and many others.
Information overload, what is real and works?

Is there a system for marketing online that like Mcdonalds once you have taken the actions within that system will achieve the results promised.

Any help with working out the direction I should take would be much appreciated.

Hey Mark,

Even though I really dislike McDonalds on many many fronts there is no denying that from a business model standpoint they have truely have done something remarkable.

I never want a fully turnkey business as I like myself to shine through, although I am looking to automate many parts of my business and I enjoyed the analogies in this post.

Ray Kroc had a great idea – he should have called it “Mess Control”

Hey Mark!
Good old E-Myth! I have a copy that is probably over 10yrs old. I also have the VHS of his “Small Business Success 7 point plan for growing your business. I would love to share ideas about how to grow an internet marketing business the good old fashioned way. Drop me a line!

Good stuff Mark. I like the way you and Josh Spaulding operate real businesses. Not to name drop, but I’m blown away by the systems Jason Fladliem has set up – and no I don’t promote his products. I think he’s the next Russell Brunson. You just get fired up watching those guys work systems.

Awesome post and great points, Mark! And nice walk down memory lane with those Big Mac ingredients! LOL

I have been working on simplifying my business, first off, to help myself. Also, like you mention, I’d like to teach others to do what I do. People have been bugging me for years to write an ebook or a course about the children’s mail business. And the other benefit would be getting my kids to help me run things, as well. Or maybe even an assistant that’s not related. 😉

Every 8 minutes? Still today? Wow!!

Mark,
Another great post, thanks.

You are right, the faster I can create a system, the faster I can delegate everything I do to employees. After months of trying to do it all myself (and not getting very far), I’m ready to outsource.

Thanks again for not trying to sell us Frank’s list building system.

Mark, I agree with Kent. Good stuff, indeed!

Another benefit to systematizing your Internet business is that if your computer were to go down for an extended period of time or you were out ill for a while or some other unexpected problem occurred, someone could come along and know exactly what to do to run your business.
