I'm curious to know if anyone outsources everything (or nearly everything) in building a website. ie, link building, article writing, site design, blog posting, forum posting, ect. Anyone go this route? Or, what do you most commonly outsource?
I usually outsource quite a bit depedning on the site. Most article writing, Most link building, some site design if I feel that particular site needs a great design, some programming work, forum posting, etc.
Yes, you outsource everything? So basically you just take your knowledge, but have others do the work?
Not quite EVERYTHING. I outsource article/blog writing which I then spruce up myself, forum posting, etc. to you-know-where. Then I outsource to Germany for my web developer, so it's sorta outsourced if you consider Europe outsourcing. Yea, I can see you're wondering since it must be hard to compete when I can get what you're offering to do for $15 for $3. Granted I have to spend about 1 or 2 minutes cleaning it up usually, though I've found better employees that actually sound/write american.
Oh, yeah article writing. I through that site together with a buddy of mine (he is the much better writer, but I'm pretty good on certain topics). Curious to see if it will fly or not. Just a side project. It's amazing how you can get 500 words for like $3 with the getafreelancer type sites. truly a flat world nowadays.
Yes,we offer all seo services but presently we dont have forum posting in 1 weeks or so we are planning to start even forum posting, i offer high quality searvice for very cheap only for seo companys or experts i dont have any special thread, as we r from india we can offer for some decent rates.
Of course it's possible to outsource everything -- though people involved with Web projects usually have some degree of prior knowledge and/or experience -- just like say, a home builder who sub-contracts out various phases of the work.
