Where to find a freelancer?

by mrkidd85

I'm a professional SEO consultant full time and I also have a few clients on the side that I write and place articles on relevant blogs for. Lately I've been getting too many clients and I need to shift some of the link placement on to someone else. I find the constant emailing and badgering bloggers the most stressful thing in the world so I'd be looking for someone who doesn't mind the repetitiveness of the whole thing.

My question to you guys is, how much would I be likely to pay a freelancer to do this for me?

    eLance has been a mess for me.

    oDesk has been the best.

    Believe it or not - I have found some awesome providers on Fiverr, what I have noticed is that for larger jobs you simply increase the amount of gigs you purchase - I have commissioned some pretty large jobs this way.

    As always though - do your due diligence :-)

    There's also Freelancer.com, or craigslist if you're feeling lucky.

    In terms of how much to pay, I've only seen how freelancer.com works, where you basically put a budget and people will make offers on how much they're willing to work for, along with their credentials and what not. You can probably look on the site to look at similar jobs to get an idea.

      Like Joe said try Freelance. Your get a ton of response there. I personally prefer that over odesk.

      Try oDesk or Elance. May be able to get very qualified people with reasonable or low pricing.

    odesk is by far my favorite freelance network.
    But had some good experiences with elance as well!
    It does not really matter where you search, rather than who you choose.

    And do yourself a favor and never hire someone from freelancer!

    I agree with Art. Getting a freelancer would only be a short term solution. Getting a VA and investing in training would help prepare your business for the future. Once your business grows, it wouldn't be possible to do all the work yourself. Better start preparing for that now than scrambling to find and train someone later, when you can't afford any delays.

    I have only heard of Freelancer to be the best solution for what you are looking for. I do not know about Fiverr...But who knows, others seem to have positive experience with them.

    If you want quality and reliability then VA is your best option ... you have to spend some time in the start to train him but it will be much better in the long run.
    If i were you, i will try to find some people nearby so i have complete excess to them too ...

    With outsourcing you will by jumping from one service provider to another all the time which will cost you money as well as time ....
