Importance of Online Outsourcing Part2

(As you continue reading, you will learn more important things on "Importance of Online Outsourcing" continuation). While you've to hire people on salaries for some jobs such as clerking, some jobs can as well be achieved by outsourcing to freelancers. For examples, you are able to get ghostwriters to write good content for your site and you will be able to get freelance designers to spice up your e-commerce site.

You don't need to hire these people on a regular salary because once their job is done, they don't have much follow up work to do for your business. I have found an article that maybe help you more business ideas for 2010 .

A adept resource for freelancers would be elance.com and rentacoder.com, where freelancers and buyers have transactions on a per job basis.

When your business achieves a certain extent, you'll begin to find it hard to record of everything and this implies time to outsource. Think of it this way: you may lose a little income to hire other people to do some of your regular jobs, but you earn more income from the increased productivity.

  1. Hi, this is Nicole from Rent a Coder. As suggested (thank you), our service is appropriate for hiring workers for this type of work. (You can get a sense of the broad scope of work available here: http://www.rentacoder.com/RentACoder/SoftwareCoders/BrowseWork.asp)

    I'd like to point out a few differences between our service and services like Elance since those differences could influence the success of an outsourced project.

    ===
    Employing a new worker that you don't yet know/trust:
    ===

    When you don't yet know if a worker is productive, both Elance and Rent A Coder let you employ them in the safest way possible: by paying them a fixed price for the final deliverables (called pay-for-deliverables). However, if there is a problem, Elance charges you for the arbitration process necessary to get a refund (while Rent A Coder does not), and the process can take much longer if the worker is abusive.

    1) Money-back Guarantee
    ---
    If a worker doesn't deliver what they agreed to, both sites will step in and give you a refund via arbitration. However Rent A Coder does this for free. If a worker doesn't deliver what they agreed to, both sites will step in and give you a refund via arbitration. However Elance charges you $66-$133 to do this. This may also make it impractical to get a refund on smaller projects. Rent A Coder, on the other hand, does this for free.

    2) Arbitration
    ---
    On Rent A Coder you can start arbitration immediately. A worker intent on abusing the system can stall the start of arbitration on Elance for 21 business days and during this period your money is not available to you. During the first phase (dispute assistance), the worker has up to 3 business days to respond, and can make this phase last up to 12 additional business days (15 business days total). After this, the arbitration phase "begins", but does actually start because the worker is given 3 business days to acknowledge the notice of arbitration, and the another 3 business days if they did not acknowledge the first notice. Only at this point is arbitration actually started. See the Elance contract for more information.

    3) Expert Guarantee
    ---
    Both sites' triple-point money-back guarantee protect your money from a worker that doesn't deliver. But if you had a critical deadline, you may have lost vital time. Our Expert Guarantee helps you avoid this situation by identifying the most committed and expert workers during bidding. The workers agree to place a deposit to guarantee that they will not break any of the triple-point (or quadruple-point) guarantees. If they do, they forfeit the deposit (which goes to cover cancellation fees and then gets donated to a worthy charity).
