INTERNET MARKETING

Where are good places to outsource tasks? For instance, SEO stuff, backlinking, social media management, article creation, submissions, etc. Perhaps a virtual assistant? Thanks!

  Why don't you try to CRAIGSLIST? There you can find people offering their services and some are very affordable. You must try it.

  Fiverr kinda sucks for those looking to make money
  (i.e. the majority of sellers have zero sales)
  ....however for power outsourcers like
  @Steelman and myself, Fiverr is awesome.

  ONCE UPON A TIME there was a Warrior named Bob. He was sad. And frustrated. You see, Warrior Bob spent every last nickel on Internet Marketing e-books. But nothing panned out. No traffic. No sales. He was one sad Bob. Then one day Bob found a bottle. He rubbed it and out came a Genie who granted him 3 wishes. For Wish #1 Bob asked for a pet Dragon. Wish Granted. For Wish #2, Bob wanted Warriors' websites seen by 53 million TV viewers, for under $5 per broadcast. The Genie said... (click here)

Hi sodevious,

Have a look at this...

Actually, it depends on your budget. If you don't have that much budget or let's say you don't want to invest more in paying your employee, then you may try to look for someone abroad (Offshore outsourcing).

Philippines and India are 2 of the most popular countries when it comes to offshore outsourcing.

I thought of posting these sites which might be of help to you:

Fiverr can be hit or miss, but some gigs are real gems. Also if you are not satisfied with the delivered work you can reject this work and get your money back. Totally agree with a couple of other responses - you can find some amazing gigs for 5$ and outsource almost the entire business. The biggest problem is continuity, if a seller decide to stop providing a service, you can spent a bit of time finding a good replacement.

There are plenty of good resources on oDesk and eLance. The one issue with eLance is that the minimum job is $50. I've used Fivrr as well with good results.

You can try the following, they have different costs and may be suited for certain work

- Fiverr
- Craiglist
- oDesk
- Guru
- eLance
- vWorker
- FreeLancer

Before you hire a VA, may be good to hire on a task / project basis.
You may not have enough work for her in the beginning on a part time basis

I have used several that has already been mentioned above such as Odesk, Elance and fiverr. There are several factors that you should consider before hiring a VA.

1. It is important that you do your homework by checking out their testimonies and reviews and the number of jobs they have performed.

2. What is the quality of their work?

3. How long have they been offering VA services.

4. What kind of tracking/measuring tools do they offer?

5. How easy is it to contact?

6. What time zone are they located?

7. Does their skill set match your job requirement?

Answering these questions before you hire a VA can save you lots of time and money.

  I use Elance for bigger projects and just started using Fiverr. Fiverr is a little sketchy. Harder to weed out the bad providers.

oDesk, elance and freelancer are legitimate outsourcing sites. You may want to check them. What's great about these outsourcing sites is that you can check their previous experiences, feedback and rating in their profile. That means you can identify who are great workers.
