So like you, I met with a lot of obstacles watching the livestream. I will describe the problems later.
Focus on: Value Creation and Outsourcing.
With Thanks, Andrea
Focus on: Value Creation and Outsourcing.
The tasks that Pete set for the 6 hours in $400:
1. Forum Posting
Getting a VA to send you daily updates on the forums you want to be active in or add value to. (Or you can use google alerts.--thats by me.) Then record your audio response, have your team reply to forum thread and syndicate the responses. Do not go thru the forums, do not post yourself, do not spellcheck yourself.
2. Podcasting
This is a valuable piece of content- can be used for audio, video and transcribe. Use Skype call recorder when doing interviews. Goes to the itunes and internet radio, create slides, videos, transcript (scribd),
3. Create new info product
mindmap a plan, record an audio interview, use audio as content for leverage that output into different modalities.
4. Responding to emails
Record your responses. Using TextExpander on Mac to churn out a longer email while typing a shortcuts. And attach your audio file. Theres also apps on iphone, eg Say it mail it.
My take: fast for you, but its a longer time to load for your receivers. And does gmail have a Lab app for this? i personally prefer a transcribing app for my audio reply.
5. Product marketing for new product
6. Client Q&A session
Ask for questions all at once. Then do an Q&A session that is preplanned ahead of time. Or do an audio recording of it. Use the responses and do Task 1,2,3.
7. Two blog posts - outsource
8. Two guest posts to other blogs - outsource
9. Article for magazine - outsource
10. Two Youtube videos - outsource
11. Press releases - outsource
Pete also said:
- Focus on value adding VS mechanics - do not do the latter.
- Comparing himself to Tim Ferriss, who goes out to "beg" for networks, whereas he demonstrates himself as a market leader and have people come to him instead.

- We are scaring ourselves by creating the product and then creating the shop to sell the product, when we can leverage other people's stores to sell our product. Eg. amazon, magcast, clickbank.
Somebody thank me for using more than 4 hours of my time in exchange for 4 minutes of your time.
- Hiring and outsourcing: hire one person, if he has been submitting regularly and on time, then promote him after that to do the other stuff.
Anybody caught anything else? Please share it in the comments below.
---Obstacles--
1. im on the other side of the world, so 3pm EST means 3am for me on a weekday!! I did my best... set multiple alarms and the results was.. I did not wake up. So I thanked God when their emails said they were going to send a video on the missed livestream, which was partially what I kinda expected anyway from these online programs.
2. After I received the video, I had problems loading or even streaming the video.
3. The guy in black keeps repeating himself!!! And is really long-winded....
With Thanks, Andrea
