How to Outsource Using Freelance Websites...

Published: February 18, 2008

There are many freelance websites on the internet.  These sites can connect you with workers around the world ready to compete for your business. 

You can hire people to do anything from writing simple $10 content articles to designing $30,000 software. 

For some projects it’s not uncommon to get 20 bids in a day.  From there you can ask the potential workers questions and narrow down the pool to hire only the most qualified. 

Three website we trust are.

Elance.com
Guru.com
RentaCoder.com

Elance and Guru tend to have more writers and designers,  RentaCoder is by far the best for software. 

For payment you should always stay within the freelance website.  Elance has an easy to use system where you can pay with your credit card.  RentaCoder has an escrow system that can also be trusted. 

Don’t get Scammed

If a bidder asks for a Western Union money transfer or to do anything outside the freelance website you should become very suspicious.  We recommend immediately blocking contact with that person, as in most cases there are many other bidders willing to do business within the freelance website.  …There is no point in taking an unnecessary risk.  
 
Another great way too outsource is to use Sitepoint.com.  This is a website where you can set up a contest and have people compete to win a cash prize which you set the amount. 

Many experienced business owners use this website for logo creation.  You can set a contest with a cash prize (Usually between $100 and $500 dollars) and have people submit different designs to win.  You can give feedback and pointers until you have the perfect logo.  Some of stuff done here is really amazing.  This is perhaps the cheapest way to get a very professional looking logo for your website or business.
