Trading time for...time?

We all know that outsourcing is a great way to reduce the amount of time invested in a project. Unfortunately, most of us newbies probably have a lot more time than money. There's a way to outsource for free...sort of.

Say you absolutely hate backlinking. You'd like to be able to outsource it, but you just can't afford it right now.

Furthermore, say you enjoy making header images for sites. Do you see where I'm going with this? Get other people to pay you to make header images, then use that cash to outsource your backlinking.

Since you were going to spend your time backlinking anyway, all you're really doing is trading a bad experience for a good one.

What are YOU good at? What would YOU like to outsource?

    So where are you going to find people to trade services?

      I like the idea as well, but as of yet have not been able to find a quality barter site. Any recommendations?

    Outsourcing can also be expensive and I've also found the hard way about outsourcing links.....the google sandbox.

    Someone could probably make some money off offering a business barter site.

    People can do it informally but to my knowledge there is not a hub for this kind of thing.

    I just do it very informally here are the WF. I have been getting a really solid demand. I much prefer researching and writing new articles on any topic compared to the backlinking part of SEO. I write everything from stock reports, to Amazon reviews, SEO articles and copywriting. In exchange I have some very thankful partners who are extremely experienced and fast at link building. It works great, and the quality we each get is way better than outsourcing would usually be.
