How to successfully hire your first outsourcer...

In the offline world, we're often told,
"Outsource! Outsource! Outsource!"
But what if you don't have the slightest
idea how to hire your first worker - or
maybe you're like me and had a terrible
experience at first...
Either way, what I'm about to share with
you will get you a hard working outsourcer
that will go out of his way to make sure
you're happy.
First, head to ODesk.com (My favorite
outsourcing website) and get an account
up and running.
Next, post an ad for what you need (An
SEO guy, backlink creator, content writer,
whatever).
When you've gotten at least a dozen
responses, preferably 2 dozen, send them
all the same message.
Let them know that they've made it to the
second round of hiring, and to proceed you
need a sample of their work.
Send them a short task to complete with
no more than an hour of work.
This should NOT be used just to get free
work, by the way...
You'll likely weed out most of the people
who applied, and only those that will be
willing to put in the necessary effort will
respond after this.
Once you've gotten responses, take the
time to look through them all and see who's
done the best job.
With this technique I've recently (in the
last week) been able to hire an excellent
video guy for a price I would have never
expected.
I can keep this guy busy, full time, without
putting much of a dent in my bank account.
That's what I call successful delegating.
