Tasks I can Get My Friend To Do? (13)
Whats something a non internet marketing / affiliate person can do for you? I have a friend that wants to help me out and make some money as well, but he doesnt have enough money to run his own campaigns or even knows anything about running campaigns.
Whats something i could make him do and make me money? I know posting on craigslist works and is pretty simple but like anything else? lol maybe make him ewhore, i dont know but something simple yet profitable for both of us.
webcam + livejasmin = $$$$$
Or... Elance / Odesk for some article writing jobs etc
Research.
Have him collect images for you.
Crop them re-size them, alter them.
ya man, teach him some photoshop and get him to do all your creative stuff, image gathering, creatives all the peasant work you dont like to do. also you could get him to do all your accounting, make sure payments are coming in timely and the right dates are covered and all records are up to par on your accounting so this gives you time to do what you do best, launch campaigns left and right.

Certainly not the rule, I have friends who I trust and work with, but it seems more often than not it can cause some tension.. That's my 2 cents.

Employing friends and family don't work, reason and rule #1 being : NEVER let your friends & family know you're making shitloads of $ it never ends well !

Get him to do your laundry/meals/cleaning/errands
oh man i totally agree with medhi, the minute they find out they are going to want to freeload, want work , show them the ropes etc. a bit headache for our busy lives.
This is exactly what is gonna happen:
You give him something to do, he does an amazingly lazy/shitty job and no money is earned. Afterwards you are the bad guy for wasting his time.
It's the same thing every time when you try to help out friends/family that are unwilling to help themselves. If your friend is "very skeptical with all this online stuff" don't make it your job to try to convince him otherwise beyond "Yo it really is possible to make the internet monies you should do your own research and go for it".
If he has any ability to succeed at this he is gonna have to take it from there and come back to you if he has specific questions not "give me something easy to do that I can make money immediately and for sure" which is what pretty much everyone wants to get handed to them.
I have a situation similar to yours i have a friend how need money really bad, he's talented, loyal, smart and a hard worker so i thought him how to use photoshop and dreamweaver to build web pages for me ( i trust him 100 % + he can't afford to run camps that spend 3 - 4 K / day on average ) also i bought few courses for him to learn more advanced stuff like jquery and php and now my friend he was the reason i have a ppv campaign that makes me 2 K / day on average cus he's just a bad ass landing pages designer right now cus of all the tricks he learned from php, javascript and jquery.
So bottom line teach your mate the most time consuming, annoying and repetitive tasks and you both should make it work for both of you.
Good luck
