Outsource Your Life To India, B2kCorp
Is it time to start outsourcing your business and your life to India?
It began a month ago. I was midway through “The World Is Flat,” the bestseller by Tom Friedman. His book is all about how outsourcing to India and China is not just for tech support and carmakers but is poised to transform every industry in America, from law to banking to accounting. CEOs are chopping up projects and sending the lower-end tasks to strangers in cubicles ten time zones away. And it’s only going to snowball; America has not yet begun to outsource.
I don’t have a corporation; I don’t even have an up-to-date business card. I’m a writer and editor working from home, usually in my boxer shorts or, if I’m feeling formal, my penguin-themed pajama bottoms. Then again, I think, why should Fortune 500 firms have all the fun? Why can’t I join in on the biggest business trend of the new century? Why can’t I outsource my low-end tasks? Why can’t I outsource my life?
The Indian domestic economy, it’s looking pretty rosy. My (outsourcing assistant) team is good, cheap, and absurdly eager. They will do anything short of violating the Geneva Conventions. And with most of the tasks — online shopping, thank-you notes, research — my crew saves minutes or even hours of my day. Admittedly, the outsourcing of my life is sometimes counterproductive — an ill-fated order of an eggplant dish from a nearby restaurant comes to mind. But overall, it’s working.

Out sourcing your personal life may be handy; however, as an online company of 1, out sourcing the day to day business tasks is an excellent way to take advantage of inexpensive talent and teach others the rope to success.
Here is another “Think about it”! If you truly have a successful and profitable Internet Business endeavor, then you have something more valuable than money to offer those willing to do your day to day business tasks… You can show each volunteer Intern how to become successful with their own Internet Business, and you do it by having each of them actually perform the tasks required to create a successful Internet Business… Your day to day business tasks!
Actual cash payment for any such volunteer performance can be completely optional.
I know of just such a business… I have been involved for months as an Intern ( http://www.InternTask.com ) with a man’s Internet Business.
His name is James Brausch. He is quite successful in his online endeavors, and I wanted to learn exactly how he managed to succeed.
Mr. Brausch actually put together an online Intern program, which assigns many of his day to day business tasks to Interns.
These tasks are the actual actions required to build an online business… and, as a result of learning the exact procedures and tasks of his day to day operation, I, a retired grandfather, am now running my own successful online business.
I have not yet completed the Intern program of Mr. Brausch, but you can bet I will stick with the tasks until I not only learn them all… but also build and include such an Intern program in by own Internet business.
If you or your readers should want to experience the success of an outsourcing business, then may I highly recommend the Intern program of Mr. Brausch ( the link is listed above)?
I know of a few more such Internet Business “Intern” out sourcing programs; however, I am sure there are many more, and I am also sure there will be a growing number of such programs.
Imagine, you don’t sell a business package… You allow others to work for it, as in bartering. Wow, who would have ever thought that the old fashioned “Human Relations” department could just be a mere return to “Bartering”? You do the work. You learn the business. We both profit.
Sincerely,
Don D. Morrison
P.S. I forgot to mention that I have also earned nearly $1,000 through my involvement with the Intern program of Mr. Brausch.

We are a web development company based in Kolkata , India. we do various projects for vendors based in USA, Canada, UK and Australia . What we have noticed is that there most certainly is a initiative from numerous companies – small as well as large to outsource not just web development, but as well as software development, accounting, research , office communications – appointment bookings and much more. It is however necessary to find the right partner who can understand your rhythm , your speed . But unless that happens, it may lead to more trouble .
