Hi all,

I have used various sites like Elance to find freelancers to design websites and graphics for me - but I am not getting the conversions that I want.

What is the best way to find reliable freelancers and get contacts to produce high quality work for me! I would rather get someone that has a proven record then find someone on elance... would anyone be willing to provide me contact details of anyone? I need a wide variety of work done...

Thanks

J

    I'm curious about how you came to the conclusion that your low conversion is due to the graphics or design and not the content of the page?

      Sorry Tina - I didn't mean graphics are the only reason. I definitely need to review the content as well. (It's on my long list to re-do!)
      But I guess I just want to know where I can get reliable contacts to produce content for me.

        Check the Warrior for Hire thread right here on the boards. Take a look at the feedback and samples first. If possible, contact some of the ones giving feedback and ask what they think now (it could change drastically over time). Then test out several people with smaller projects to find ones that you can work with longer term.

        For graphics work, I can recommend a couple that I've used. The best would be Karl Warren (I think his WF name is karl_warren) and I've also had good, reliable work from sndas. Karl's girlfriend is also very good.

        For content, there are a number of excellent writers here in a range of prices.

    Let me put it this way:

    There are freelancers who are marketers and there are
    freelancers... who aren't.

    The key to any freelancer is checking up on them, and testing with small projects. No matter what anyone else says about them, you should start small and find out what they can do for you.

    You can find freelancers through the networks, or by getting to know your fellow warriors. The best freelancers I have found are right here. If you get to know the people here, and make some friends, you will get a lot of good contacts very quickly.

    also, as stated before, to fill the immediate needs check out Warriors for hire.

    J - If you're struggling to find a designer on Elance then the problem may be with what you need them to do, or your expectations from it?

    We've found people with two degrees and a pHD working for $10 per hour and have never had a problem finding quality providers.

    Are you setting the budget high enough?
