How to find Hired Help Online?
Agreed trying to do everything yourself is bad. Outsourcing frees your creativity etc ...
Pat goes to eLance for search engine optimization, voice talents, and custom WordPress. You post your project and your future "helpers" will bid on your project ... you choose ... they work ... you will be happy? Pat describes his experience and seems happy ;)
... what I do not understand ... even in October 2008 Pat claims to have earned nearly 8000 USD which calculates to (assuming a "normal" work week has 40 hours and there are four weeks in a month) about 50 USD per hour. His example of a WordPress theme redesign cost 100 USD. I cannot believe that this was done in two hours ... assuming all the work (including the bidding, communication about the specifications, the actual work, perhaps some tweaks here and there) ... Pat was only willing to pay a couple of bucks per hour ... Granted there are countries where costs of living are only a tiny fragment from e.g. the US ... and if it is ok for big corporate to go overseas and do a little exploitation there, it should be for individuals, too ... well, done ...
