Low Cost Outsourcing

Outsourcing is really nothing more than a tool used to make you’re time more productive. Instead of wasting your time and energy doing simple routine jobs outsource them. Outsourcing is cheaper than having someone do it in-house and helps limit the drain on your resources.
There are several places to outsource. Elance, Rentacoder (now called vworker), Warrior Forum (Warrior Products & Services ) and oDesk. There are also several new sites online offering their services at a very low rate. Sites like Fiverr, Online Biz Library and ClickFive Internet Marketing Services. I have used several of these services and I will list my experience using them.
1. Elance – I have had several software (php) programs written here. I have always had good luck using them. They can be a little more expensive than some of the others but the quality of the work seems to be better.
2. Renatacoder – I have used rentacoder once. I don’t know if I would outsource with them again. It wasn’t that the quality of work was less but most are not native english speaking and this did present a problem in the understanding of what I wanted. But the work was priced less, but only slightly.
3. Warrior Forum – The warrior forum is a great place to outsource. I think the price is comparable to the rest but the quality seems much higher. You should always look at the feedback.
4. oDesk – I have never tried oDesk. I have heard some good feedback when you’re looking for a VA.
5. Fiverr – I have outsourced to fiverr for some link building. The first purchase sat with no response for about 2 weeks. I pulled the offer and the money was put back into my account. I then tried a second offer and it was completed with 2 days. I can honestly say I was pleased with fiverr. At $5 with no real risk I think I can afford to shop for the good offers.
6. Online Biz Library – I have just heard of this service and don’t know much about them.
7. ClickFive – I have just began to work with ClickFive on some youtube video views. I will have to post an update in 3 months.

Nicole,
Thanks for the heads up on the search engine.

You’re quite welcome, Scott.
Can you be more specific about the Warrior Forum? I think that’s a promising way of outsorting, IMHO.
