I have been looking all over, I must not be looking in the right places though. Where can you go to find virtual workers that have wordpress skills, understand backlinking etc., there must be a site out there that people with these skills exist.. I thought it would be in this forum.. I'll keep searching, but can anyone point me in the right direction.

Cheers,

ej

    odesk is apparently quite good, although I havn't used it much myself.

      Yes Odesk is good, search by hours worked as the people with the most hours usually want to keep a good reputation.

      Odesk, is the place where you can get your things done for you, and it a good and effective place, but usually you need to have a very clear picture of the task in order to outsource it.
      However, all the expertise you request regarding WP, back links etc... Then I think you will be better of in the warrior for hire forum ---> Warriors For Hire

          There are all kinds of websites nowadays that you can use to find people to work for you...real cheap...

          From my experience is that when hiring someone from overseas...you normally go thru 2-3 people before you find one that is even half way worth a crap...

          There are a few countries that I refuse to hiring anyone if they are from there, because most of them from those countries are scammy little *******s...

          I'm not gonna say the names of the countries...I am sure some one else here will say it, but not me!!!

          Oh well...my 2 cents...

          Happy Outsourcing...

            I will throw a spanner in the works and say India is one of them. Just last week some Asian guy wasted 3 weeks of my time developing a website then ignores my calls and correspondence - £600 down the drain. With that said, it's worth remember there are legit people in such countries that are truly great human beings.

    If you have time. I recommend that you play with wordpress and figure it out. If you have more money than time then outsoursing is good. I watched some webinar and gentlemen siad that the phillipines was a good place to get some work done. If you have Skype you can chat with them at no cost. the guy I use is pretty good and afordable. He does some of my graghics and he is reasonable.
    Here is there website. I found them on craigslist.
    If you pm me I will give you his website link.

    oDesk is not bad. But do be wary of their hourly system.

    like others said odesk is really good

    another alternative is freelance sites...don't go with freelancer . com ...it's full of scammers...elance is pretty good

    I have looked all over the place from virtual assistant places, but really, bad ones exist everywhere. I actually have just hired another a full-time worker and he has been great with his return time. There are people willing to work hard if you take care of them, but there are also ones out there willing to 'slip-by' with the bare minimum. So, be sure to test your virtual assistant before considering any contract.
