If you run a blog network you will know how cumbersome it can be keeping every blog updated. With a decent sized blog network it can take hours a day to make new posts not to mention the time invested in thinking about what you should write about.
However there is a way that you can take all of that effort and get someone else to do it all. The simple solution to your needs is Outsourcing.
Outsourcing is the process of taking a job and having someone else do it for you in return for a payment.With the global nature of today's online workforce it is possible to hire talented, efficient and helpful people at very competitive rates. Taking my example of maintaining a blog network, it is possible to hire blog writers from as little as US$3 per hour to maintain your blogs. How is this possible you ask ? Well it's really quite simple. The world's second largest English speaking population is in the Philippines. The average wage in the Philippines is probably less than $400 US Dollars per month. Given this and the high rates of University Education amongst Filipinos, it is possible to hire very qualified people at a much lower rate than you would in most Western countries.
Now, do not think for one minute that you should adopt an exploitative approach to Outsourcing. I am merely asking you to recognise the value in hiring staff from the world's global workforce.
Perhaps the question you have now is, how do I begin outsourcing ? Well fortunately this is now much easier too with the arrival of an outsourcing platform called oDesk.
Odesk is a global marketplace of employers and workers. It is a place where you can find any type of worker in a competitive environment. More than that it is also a platform for hiring, managing and paying your outsourced workforce. It is literally possible to build an online team using oDesk.
Starting out is easy. All you need to do is visit oDesk and create an account as an employer. Then you can post a job for the type of worker you are looking for. On oDesk you will find thousands of writers, programmers, web developers, content editors, programmers - you name the type of work and there is bound to be a qualified competitive applicant for your job.
Once you have posted your job it is a good time to add a credit card to the oDesk payment system. When you add a credit card a $10 verification fee is deducted from the card. This is refunded to you. Once you have added a verified payment method you are ready to hire your first employee or several.
Good Luck building your own online team!
