What is the best site for outsourcing

Sort of depends upon what your budget is and what you're trying to outsource. Fiverr.com is great if you just have a few things that you need done like graphics, video, articles etc. If you have a ton of work or a big project then, yes, elance odesk and freelancer are good choices.

Hope this helps!

you are here my friend.

just mosey on over to:
Warrior Products & Services

create a thread with your requests and after it is approved by the WF moderates you will need to pay a small fee of 5 dollars.

then you will have all of the I.M. talent in the world checking out your AD.

be well

Elance.com is good as well.

I recommend going to firms/outsourcing company. The staff that you lease are backed by a good management and technical team also, your files and data are secured and confidential. You are assured that the staff that you ease are 100% working for you and dedicated. Those sites that you mentioned are all freelancer sites, people from freelance sites are all freelancer who are working from home and maybe working with other clients at the same time.

This a question I have been trying to figure out an answer to for months as well. Is there a single one stop site for all your marketing outsourcing needs?

oDesk has always worked best for me. It really depends on exactly what you need. A small job like create a video or something of that nature would be something to look for on Fiverr. While larger jobs like a 6 month VA would be more suited for oDesk or freelancer. Something specific that has to do with SEO or content writing take a look at the services forum here at Warrior Forum.

I have used odesk and elance with some very good results.

But you better make sure you are explaining it to a five year old, most of those guys do not speak good english. SO you need to train them, or tell them what to do exactly like a kid. Otherwise you do not get much bang for your buck!

I've had nothing but problems with Odesk. I think it is odd that nobody on here talks about vWorker.com (used to be RentACoder)

I've used Rentacoder since 2002 and never heard of Odesk until last year. I've only had problems using odesk

I use Fiverr for one-time jobs and onlinejobs.ph to get VAs

I often use fiverr.com for outsourcing. Its a great place for outsource.

easyoutsource.com is very good for me in outsourcing

Based on my experience for the sites I have signed up for, I would have to reccomend oDesk. I really like all the tests they provide, as they can help you pick out the truly qualified candidates.

Fiverr is the worst website ever built but gosh darn its profitable

I think odesk.com, freelance.com and elance.com are the best outsourcing website. I remember our first SEO project was from odesk.com last year in may when we started our company. I think odesk is best because any work experience we got job and after completion we got more and more jobs then before....

I also love Odesk. But like other have said make sure you can clearly explain what you want as many don't speak English well.

Do you need to ask ? certainly my website

kidding. I would say depend on the type of work you want to outsource.

If you are outsourcing big job or small one ? is it programming ? video ? article writing ?

I personally use over 10 websites to outsource, I wouldn't stick to one as each job need specific skills that I wouldn't find people who can do it in website x but they would be in website y.

I wish there is only one best website. That would make our life easier

odesk is great, but it takes some experience. only hire 5* providers. i never trust a provider with a ton of 1-hour jobs, this is probably tossing jobs between accounts to jack up rating. odesk is very good to track the work - like having an employee sitting in your room.
don't use direct-hire resume banks anymore, takes almost as much time to select/interview/hire/train/monitor as to do it myself. without supervision people tend to work 5 times less for the money you pay them. paying more to get more real hours doesn't help, you pay more but get the same.

freelancer.com is what i use never had a problem using there service you can check peoples feedback etc before you deal with them and there posting costs are very good.

you should try Elance.com. Its really good one.

Freelnacer.com and O-desk are good i think

I use the Warrior Forum's own Warriors for Hire section. A lot of talented people. Just read the testimonials and feedback in the threads before hiring.

This is great info to know about

oDesk seems to have the best feedback and it's what I use the most at the moment. I also use fiverr a lot as well, but you do need to try a few gigs out before you find the best ones.

Other places to try are easyoutsource for filipino workers and zeerk for more expensive gigs.

I say vworker. I have had a lot of work from there and I am never the lowest bidder either.

Freelancer and Fiverr perform well for me.

Freelancer has always been my site, though i do love some of the offers available on sites like fiverr and fourerr

Gotta love Elance and Guru...

Fiverr and Fourerr are great if you want smaller gigs and are looking for a bargain!

Outsourcing what? iWriter.

I'm a fan of elance.com and odesk.com

I've been using oDesk for a long time now and never had any problems and if you have good skills youll be never short of work

I believe it really depends on the job. For small jobs, mturk is good and for huge projects, elance has never disappointed me.

freelancer.com is the best among them

This thread
was brought back from the dead.
The pointlessness of it fills me with dread
and make me want to hit my head.

I'm a freelancer in odesk.com, There's a high competition for jobs there which means you'll get cheap prices . but quality ? if you want high quality services, you better find freelancers with some good reviews, some beginners in odesk do a very low quality job

If you are able, get recommendations of VA companies from other IMers. That's far and away the best option. If you're in a skype group, or you have a list, talk to them; see what they do.

Elance and oDesk is very good place for outsourcing. A lot of expert freelancer working there.

For small tasks like backlinks I use fiverr. Some gigs are simply to good to be true for that kind of money that's why I love using fiverr.

This is an awesome thread!

My personal outsourcing sites favs are:

- odesk for programmers, webdesigners
- fivver for videos, voiceovers graphics- insane value if you get a good provider ( see reviews of their past customers)
- online.ph long term VA for ongoing client work - cheaper than going long term with
someone from odesk

Stay Sunny,

Michelle

Odesk is good, I use it everyday.

Hi,

I see that you're looking for an outsourcing site. I am running a VA management site/service, wondering if you're interested, kindly pm me.

I was a freelancer for over 2 years as my full time living:

Odesk is best if you want to pay hourly:

Elance is best if you want to pay flat rate:

VWorker is best if you want to pay high fees to the company (they add 15% everyone else adds under 9%)

Should you be able, get recommendations of VA firms from additional IMers. That's far and away the smart choice. If you're in the skype class, or you do have a list, speak to them; view what many people do.

there are too many scammers on freelancer.com.

You could give Outsource Factor a try. It's great if you want to outsource something that requires someone to work full-time. It's like having a regular employee for the duration of time that you want.

There are already hundreds of freelancers listed with various skills. If you're looking for a VA then you should definitely give it a try.

I think Odesk.com has the largest number of contractors among all the freelancing sites. I personally hire using that site for data entry and other VA tasks. Finding a reliable one though among the big pool of contractors can be a problem. For web design and web development, I had better success at Elance although I think the contractors there charge more.

I actually own an outsourcing company. It's great to hire remote staffs for your business. It will save on office space, equipments, software, etc.. If you are willing to discuss it, just PM me Sam.

Sam,
I have had the best experience with Odesk.com.They have a lot of great programmers and are generally cheaper than Elance or Freelancer.

For small jobs like backlinking and blog commenting,I prefer Fiverr though.

@zigizag freelancer .com many scammer ? can you explain about it ?

WarriorForum is the best place to hire virtual assistants - The other sites are good, but I feel that their ratings are being manipulated - just imagine someone creates a fake id and posts a job requirement and then accepts his own bid and gives great reviews and 5 stars to him/herself.

The guys listing on these sites are experts in IT - they can hide their IPs for listing a project and pay with pre-paid credit cards under fake names.

The best option would be to find someone who has the guts to prepare a prototype of your project on his server and will ask for money only after your final approval and before deploying the project your host - as I do (shameless plug :p)

cheerios,

Devin

All those sites are great. I would also suggest postong a help wanted ad on cl or backpage or recruiting college interns and stay at home parents it has worked for me. Just make sure you have ainstrution manual on how you want the work done and communicate well.

You can use fiverr for smaller and cheaper jobs, and go with oDesk or Guru if you have some bigger projects.

It's not about finding the right site for outsourcing but it's about finding the right PERSON.

You can do this via Google search or any outsourcing platform such as elance.com, odesk.com etc. Those sites just give you the access to the person but you must do the filtering yourself.

Great question.

With your outsourcing it depends on what you are after. What I mean by this is if you a looking for quick jobs like timeline covers, graphics, headers, video intros etc fiverr is the best place in the world.

If you are looking for a more in depth job that works as a project elance and odesk are excellent. If you are starting out, odesk rocks because of its management system. You can see what your outsourcers are doing and you only pay for work that gets done. It is a requirement that the workers install a screen management software on their computers which gives you the ability to check what they are doing.

If you are looking to set up a long term business and retain staff elance is great, plus advertising on craigslist or odesk to attract long term employees. If you are reluctant to do this because of not knowing what they are doing you can get a great management software called rescuetime.com which is a system that installs on their computer so you can track what tasks they are working on.

Odesk is the best outsourcing site.It is use in friendly and payment guarantee . I am working in Odesk.com and make money from this site.

Actually there are many types of outsourcing. Each one is best for each work. It totally depends on the type of works. Here many persons share many name. You can choice any one among them.

I have used Fiverr and few of the other outsourcing networks but I would definitely recommend Freelancer.com because I still use their services even today. The quality of the work from Fiverr isn't that great and you can't expect too much for $5.
