I have been on a outsourcing spree. Granted, some have not panned out like I expected, but others have surpasses my wildest dreams!

So What Are The Best Strategies

Well let’s go into them step by step:

1. Determine if you want domestic or international

There are huge differences between the two.

Personally, I like too outsource from a developing countries like India or the Phillipines. The cost of living in the US and a country like the Phillipines is vastly different. If you understand what you’re doing, you can outsource daily Internet marketing related activities to English-speaking workers for $200 to $300 a month–sometimes even less.

2. Create Your Ad

 

 

 

 

Make your ad very specific. Outline EXACTLY what you need done, the time frame you need it done, and when you need it started.

3. Split Test Applicants

Within the first 30 minutes of uploading the post you will be FLOODED with applicants to the job…

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

…and even in your inbox.

 

 

 

 

 

What you want to not do is just get one applicant. Hire 4 or 5 for trial week period then keep the best one or two. There is a great supply of great talent you want to find the best one.

4. Train Thoroughly

Give your team clear instructions on what you want done.  You can communicate via email, skype, or Viber. If you do email, keep ANY and ALL communications for future reference.

5.  Get Daily Reports

This is a short e-mail detailing what activities they completed that day, what challenges they encountered, and how they got around them.

6. Pay Them on Time

This kind of goes without saying. Don’t be a jerk…please pay them on time. Remember the James warning.
