Hiring the RIGHT people can either tank or boost your AI OFM business. In the past 3 years i hired over a 100 people. Here's my biggest advice for anyone that's planning on hiring a helping hand in the near future:
✅ Rule #1 — Do It Yourself First
Never hire for a task you can’t already perform.
If you don’t understand the job, you can’t train, measure, or manage it.
Master → systemize → delegate.
✅ What to Look For
Early stage, don’t chase “experts.”
You want:
- Fast learners
- Problem-solvers
- 7 days a week workers
- Adaptability
Speed over perfection
Tools change weekly — mindset & hunger matter more.
✅ Best Hiring Platforms
(later: niche Telegram/Discord groups if you need chat/sales roles)
Pro move: Put a filter in your job post like:
“Start your reply with your favorite fruit.”
Instantly removes lazy/bot applicants.
✅ Location Reality
Different regions = different cost, skills, English levels.
Good beginner pools:
- Philippines
- India
- Pakistan
- Vietnam
✅ Test Process
Shortlist ~10 people → give a test task.
Look at:
- How fast they start
- If they ask smart clarifying questions
- If they deliver quality without hand-holding
Send task on Friday — anyone who doesn't deliver by Sunday = automatically elimanted.
This filters 90% of bad hires.
✅ Start With Task-Based Pay
First phase = pay per task or per deliverable.
Why?
Keeps urgency high
You see real output before committing
Less risk if they underperform
Once they prove reliability → move to monthly.
✅ Role Structure (Simple)
Early team structure:
- You = uploading + marketing + decisions
- VA = content prep
- Chatter = only once you get daily subs
Start with ONE VA and ONE CHATTER.
One good VA + chatter = enough to reach $10–20K/mo.
✅ If Someone Doesn’t Learn Fast or Execute Hard?
Replace quickly.
Loyalty is earned through performance and consistency — not time.
