Any Good Outsourcing Services You Guys Have Used?

Odesk is the ONLY option for paying by the hour (that I know of)

It really depends on your budget and where your IM earnings are. If you already have solid earnings and a proven sales funnel then VA's maybe the way to go. Otherwise you can just find people here on Warrior to do various aspects of IM for you.

Hi Tom - I generally do my own submissions / social bookmarking. But, you can find outsourcing companies / teams to do them for cheap too esp at freelancer.com - They wont charge you an arm and a leg

Elance, Freelancer.com, a good way is to go to craigslist.com and post ads in the Philippine and India too! That is free and always works for me.

I have a VA through FirstPage Websearch - Virtual Assistants - Cheap Quality Virtual Assistants - Philippine Outsourcing She's a great worker and I'm glad to have found anyone like her. They have an ad on the WF too, don't the link, but you could do a search for the member called firstpagewebsearch

Yes you can find them at Elance, Odesk or Freelancer.com but just make sure interview yours to check their english capabilities if you decided to choose from outside of USA or UK.

Have to say when I first started outsourcing a couple of years ago, I went the company route and had nothing but trouble with the first 3 companies I tried, a couple of which have already been mentioned.

I then found odesk and was pretty pleased with the results but i only really started to see massive results when I hired someone full time. The first girl I found was through bestjobs.ph but that is now locked for new members but onlinejobs.ph is now open and is very similar. Its fifty bucks a month but if you get cracking you will only need one month.

The really hard part is making the right choicer and there is a ton of trial and error. My biggest tips are

1. Be very very clear that you are looking for ONE full time employee, not a company or jobshare
2. You must test them prior to hiring. I normally give them a 500 word article to rewrite, its a good way of measuring applicant against each other.
3. When I start looking the ONLY skill I require is high level of English. For the most part the people on onlinejobs are graduates, so they are obviously smart so as long as they speak and write top class English you can teach them everything else, lets face it if you can do it, you can teach them to do it
4. Offer incentives. I post the job offer at $250/month for 40 hr weeks, then increase their monthly salary every month they stay

I now have 3 full time outsoucers which has taken away all the boring tedious jobs from my to do list and I can concentrate on experimenting, testing etc
