Would you like to get your blogs and websites for the Ultimate Search Engine Loophole built for cheap? How about really cheap. How does $5 an hour sound to you? I’m not kidding, $5/hr! For things like data entry, I’ve gotten things done for $2/hr. I’m very serious!
That’s outsourcing for real and my all time favorite outsourcing site is Odesk. What makes Odesk different? For starters, they have this really cool time tracking system so your provider can’t cheat you. They also have a review system similar to Ebay where you can review your transactions. Finally, Odesk handles all the payments to your provider like clockwork, so even if you are working with someone overseas, you can pay them quickly on your credit card.
Before you get too far into outsourcing, you really need to know what you are doing, what countries are the best to work with and how to find and manage talent. I highly recommend that you listen to John Jonas’ free Replace Myself conference call before you get too far into it. It would also be a very good idea to check out the Web Operations Manual by Marlon Sanders.
So, sign up for Odesk and the Replace Myself call and then figure out what tasks you can outsource now. Then, go post something on Odesk for free and see what happens. You never know who you might meet on there.

I love Odesk. I’ve found some great people on there and get a lot of work done cheaply.
