I’ve told several of my colleagues how much I wish I could clone myself to get more work done so I could have more free time to tend to personal matters like going to the mall with my wife! Since that’s not possible at the moment, Replace Myself seems to be the most suitable solution.
The entire membership revolves around helping you turn into a real business owner and not a self-employed, overworked pile of exhaustion. Doing business on the internet is extremely time consuming if you try to do everything yourself, and Replace Myself sets forth the methods and training you can use to successfully outsource many internet business processes at a great price.
First, recognize that no matter how good an employee is, they will never perform exactly the way you imagine things coming out. Sometimes they’ll do better than you expected but usually you have to accept a lower quality standard when you hire help. That’s the way life is, when you really want something done right, do it yourself. When you want a lot of stuff done well even if it’s not perfect, then hire help.
Replace Myself works on a monthly membership basis that opens up new modules for every month you pay. If you’re anxious to get to the future modules, you can also choose which modules you would like to receive before your month is up. All you have to do is pay for another month, but don’t worry, when you do it that way you won’t be charged for the following month or for however many you already paid for.
So let’s say I want three modules in one month. One counts from my monthly membership, I pay for two more months in advance and those two modules I chose are released for me to use. I wouldn’t be charged for another month until three months from the time I paid for those three.
The quality of the training is quite good, I would rate an 8.5/10 (and I’m really tough on that kind of rating). There is a wide range of tools created uniquely for members of ReplaceMyself.com that otherwise would be paid for, but the site’s owner has done well for his members by making all of the fantastic tools available to paying members at no extra price.
Some of the tools included are a preapproved list of potential employees with their portfolios and skills, and they’re price is posted right up front. So you have the option of skipping the whole process of hunting for somebody from their recommended sources and just getting to the bottom line of finding, let’s suppose, an experienced blogger who’s willing to work for $200 a month.
It’s no secret nowadays that most of the big internet business gurus currently recommend outsourcing to the Philippines as there are many good English speakers and writers there who are willing to work for what we would consider a very low pay but for them is extremely advantageous. There’s no guilt involved in hiring people in this kind of situation because the benefits are all mutual. It’s a real win-win agreement!
I’ve used several different websites to find people to outsource my work to in the past, but it has often cost more than I liked and the quality has usually been below expectations. With Replace Myself you’re getting the benefit of a business model from somebody who’s been through all the snags of this kind of business and has cleaned things up to make life much easier for you and me.
In regards to payment, the site owner recommends you use Xoom.com to send payment. What’s nice is it’s a type of money order delivered to the person’s house and you can even use Paypal to pay by Xoom. It’s been shown to be reliable and the price of using Xoom is cheap, usually between $10-$20 depending on where you send the money.
One of the biggest benefits of Replace Myself is the fact that the owner has already prepared training materials that aren’t for YOU but for your EMPLOYEES! That means you don’t even have to teach these people how to do what you want (unless you request something uncommon that isn’t part of the modules included) but the trainings already included are:
- - How to properly do keyword research
- - How to run a successful Google Adwords campaign
- - Proper article marketing
- - How to do social bookmarking
- - SEO (this one consists of several modules…because it’s huge)
- - Myspace Marketing
- - Link building through comments/trackbacks/forum posts
- - How to build a mini-net
- - How to do video marketing (taking advantage of YouTube and other video sites to get traffic to your website)
- - Using Web 2.0 sites to promote your own site (like flickr, twitter, furl, …)
- - Affiliate programs (what they are, how they work, how to join, how to use them)
- - Blogging
- - Press Releases
- - Other PPC networks (MSN and Yahoo)
- - How to do conversion tracking
- - Testing and reporting on website performance
- - Using Craigslist for HUGE traffic
- - Using the power of Squidoo
- - Directory Submissions
- - Using Yahoo Answers to get traffic
- - Ebay: Secret underground techniques to drive traffic
In summary, Replace Myself is the EASIEST most cost-effective means I’ve ever seen for learning to properly run outsourced projects and correctly managing and paying employees. The site owner even includes tips on how to properly prepare your financials for tax purposes.
ReplaceMyself gets two thumbs up and a solid recommendation from me.
Price: $97 a month (a bargain, considering what you would have to pay for all the tools and information elsewhere).

Posted on October 15th, 2009 at 8:49 pmHey Brian. I think where Jon Jonas is strong is in teaching you how to hire and train your workers. The project management software seemed a little redundant unless you are building a large team. I wasn’t that impressed with the modules but for someone who is new to internet marketing they will be helpful. Definitely a great way to get good quality help for cheap. We hired a girl a few months ago using this system. She is well educated, excellent English, sharp as a tack, and all for aprox $200 per month full time. ReplaceMyself was worth every penny we paid for it! =)
