Whether you are an affiliate marketing, blogger, freelance writer or just a mom with a full time job, you can benefit from outsourcing. Most people shy away from outsourcing simply because they think that they are better off doing things on their own but the truth is that most of the time this is not the case.
Did you know that many people that utilize outsourcing will double their productivity? This is one of the reason why I believe you need an outsourcer no matter what it is that you do. Lets say you are just a mom with a full time day job, one of the things you can use an outsourcer for is to schedule your day, answer and manage your email account and even send you daily reminders. This might not seem like a lot but most people spend roughly 1.5 hours per day doing these things themselves.
Now, lets say you are an affiliate marketer. How tough is it to write a sales page, publish it on a new website and do all the link building to it? My guess is that it would take you about 2 days to do all of this, right? The reason I recommend using an outsourcer is because they can setup the website for you and do all the link building while you create the sale page. As we both know, making money online and even offline will take time and the more time you have (by adding outsourcers), the more money you will make.
4 Great Places To Find Outsourcers
Fiverr
If you don’t know what Fiverr is, then I highly recommend that you go to Fiverr.com and see for yourself. The reason I say this is because there are thousands of people there that are all offering services that you can take advantage of. Another reason why I like Fiverr is because you can place a wanted ad on the side of the site saying what you need. The nice thing about this is that you can easily find a great person to do what you need them to do for only $5 (hence the name Fiverr).
Craigslist
I know you have heard of Craigslist by now but did you know that you can easily find outsourcers? One of the best places to find outsourced workers is in the Philippines and in India and the reason is because they speak English, yet the price they charge is really low. What you need to understand is that in India the average person makes $400 a year so they are more than happy to work for $5-$10 a day doing whatever you need them to do. One thing that you do need to know is that some people will not have very good English so you want to make sure they are doing things where English has to be perfect.
Elance
If you want somebody that has certain skills, then Elance will be the best place to go. The reason I say this is because Elance has a testing platform on their site which will test outsourcers on how well they know a certain topic of skill. This is also one of the things that makes Elance one of the more expensive place to find outsourcers because all their skills are verified. Trust me on this one, if you want to find the best workers, then using Elance should be the number 1 place to go.
Digitalpoint
Digitalpoint is one of the biggest forums in the world and it has a lot of people looking for work and also looking for different services. If you want to find somebody to do something technical or having to do with the internet or websites, then Digitalpoint will be a great place to go. The only thing you need to understand is that with Digitalpoint the payments are all done on trust because if you pay for a service beforehand, then you run the risk of the person running off with your money without doing the work. One the other hand, if the person doesn’t do the work like you wanted them to, then you don’t have to pay them or you can deduct your time from their pay.
One thing you need to understand is there are a lot more places that you can find good outsourced workers but these are the 4 that I would recommend starting with. The reason I recommend using these 4 places to start out with is because they are easy to use and there are a lot of people looking for work here.
Like I said before, everybody needs an outsourcer to help them out. Whether you are going to spend $5 a week just to get somebody to organize your schedule or pay somebody $250 a week to be a full time assistant doesn’t matter, all that matters is that you are getting somebody to do the work that you don’t want to do. Just remember, that the more time you have, the more money you will be able to make.
