Want to outsource but don't know how

Go to Elance, Odesk, Guru, Freelancer, etc. and post a job there. When people start bidding on your project, look at their ratings and read the reviews other people have left them for similar-type jobs. Easy peasy

I would recommend you to check out oDesk.com. You will get many skilled people are ready to work for you remotely.
Before hiring anyone, you must check there past work history and feedback. Also make sure to interview the guy.

Hope this help.

There is a lot of trial and error in outsourcing. Here is a must read thread.

I've outsourced for years and have had multiple, multiple assistants over seas full-time...


Elance, Odesk, Guru, Freelancer...hmmmm no, no, no and no....

If I am looking for one time jobs...this yes I use this...have used them for years and will continue to.

For someone to work for me full time? Nope....

Most people looking for work on these type of jobs are just looking for 1 time deals...
Even if you find someone to hire full time..they will more than likely be having other offers for one time jobs still coming in...you will most likely find them unreliable.

This is from my past experience...and seen it happen to many others as well.

For full time assistants...I would go to actual sites that people are going to look for an actual full time job..not just one off deals...you'll have a much higher success rate

If you go the Elance route, be sure to understand exactly what it is you need, and be able to explain it in super simple terms.

Most freelancers on these sites work like robots- you tell them what to do and they do it. If they mess up, it's probably your fault for not explaining everything.

To me it sounds like you've got the ideas and need someone to make them happen with minimal input. Elance isn't like that most of the time.

Freelancer and design guru are my favourates for outsourcing. There is no easy answer, its simply trial and error!

Just stay onto a good one!!!

Well they would be part time but I would probs need them to do a bit of work every day. However I don't really want to have to actually employ someone, I would prefer they were self employed iyswim.

Just get the WSO by Lyfe (it's in his sig ^^) That will save you a ton of time, money & headaches.

Lyfe knows what he is talking about. Listen to his advice & get his guide.

I used to use elance before Fiverr, but not any more. They are just too expensive. Well, the same goes for odesk and other services. Fiverr is the king and there is no queen. Other places charge a lot more. Yeah, often for the same service. I prefer to not put all my eggs in one basket, but Fiverr is head and shoulders above most other services. I also use MTURK from amazon. It is great for small tasks, but that might be too much work for you.

Here are the main things you should consider, based on what you said: You want to hire dedicated local subcontractors. You want those subcontractors to be persons whom your family, friends and colleagues can vouch for. With these requirements, here's something you can try:


1. Post a job ad in your website that outlines, in detail, the following pieces of information: Daily or weekly or monthly tasks you want done; Wages you're willing to pay and relevant payment terms or schedules; Rewards or incentives for excellent performance; other related details; and the exact steps interested parties must do to continue with their application.


2. Post the link to your job ad along with an enticing description in your public Facebook Wall. In the description, ask your Facebook friends to share your post with their own network of Facebook friends. This way, interested parties can be locals whom your Facebook friends can vouch for.


3. Develop an enticing Facebook PPC ad for your job post. Configure your Facebook PPC ad to be an exclusive ad for Facebook users in your target local areas, among other specific targeting options (age, gender, interests/hobbies and so on). This way, you can get local applicants who match your other targeting specifications.

Go to: Outsourcing & Offshoring to the Philippines | 123Employee.com

If you want to get a month FREE to build trust. Go here and sign up.

When you login in to your back office scroll down and you will see a link to 123 employee-one month free. Normally it's $347 per month service fee and the $199 set up fee, that’s a savings of $546.

But Russell Brunson of Instant Traffic Secrets has the "hook up".

I had terrible experiences with service providers at Elance and Odesk and I saw that these sites don’t protect the customer.

If you want to be sure that you can trust the people who will work for you, you have to pay them. Don’t try to find cheap solutions because in the end they cost a lot more, and you are not safe. Look for respectable people who have a serious business. You can use Google to find better solutions than service providers that offer their services at sites like Elance and Odesk. Fiverr is OK only for simple tasks.

It will be better if you will find people you know, like relatives and friends, or friends of friends. If you know someone who can recommend a service provider this will be better for you.

You should be very careful when you trust someone for a certain job because you depend on this person, and your business depends on this person.

Before you start outsourcing, it's best if you know what you're getting into. Before you hire your first employee, you should have a game plan: what kind of employees you want to hire, what jobs you want to outsource, how to train them, how to manage them, and what your outsourcing goals should be. I recommend you go to replacemyself.com and sign up for their free webinar on outsourcing for beginners. It's free and it's give you ideas on how to outsource to the Philippines (which is completely different from outsourcing to India). The video below can also give you pointers on what to expect when outsourcing.

Hey you can start with odesk, pay by the hour for small tasks. Start small.

You can read my review on odesk: oDesk Review - BlogKori (at the end I have many tips for outsourcing)

Just find some poor Indians and pay them $1 a day.
