    Greetings to all reapectable webmasters!

    My name is Jonny and I want to talk about possible outsourcing in content building. Thinking of this idea, I can not sleep well for a long time.
    Did anyone practice this solution? Was it good or bad experience?

    Have a nice day.

    Jonny

    Outsourcing as hiring another writer or outsourcing as hiring people in India? Some people seem to confuse the two so I wanted to make it clear.

    I've had great experiences in outsourcing excess content to writer buddies I know and I'm familiar with their work. I tend to toss my rough drafts at people and get someone else to edit a lot. Some days I'm in a rush and some days I'm just lazy and did the fun part already. :D

    Could you describe your business? It'll help to give you a more accurate answer if I knew what your site was about.

    Outsourcing can:

    •reduce the costs for the services you need;
    •take administrative work off your back;
    •in some cases, help you produce unique high quality content for your needs compared to hiring in-house staff;
    •and eliminate the need for an office, a computer network, office furniture, IT administrators, etc.

    Outsourcing can help your business only if:

    •you select the right offshore content research and writing firm;
    •and the country where the firm is based has strict copyright laws.

    Selecting the right content research and writing firm requires you to:

    •determine if the firm specializes on your niche;
    •request for samples and a list of previous clients;
    •and ask for custom samples with a 50% discount on the firm's regular rates.

    Some people can find gold when they outsource.

    This doesn't work so well with web content though. If you have ever clicked an article somewhere that sounded interesting to find weird broken English that makes it look very unprofessional, you know what I mean.

    Well a lot of webmasters outsource the content stuff to me and I'm halfway across the world. No complaints so far and most of them are repeat customers :)

    Check out sites like elance. You can pick and choose the tasks you want to outsource and you'll be able to look through some samples to make sure your provider's quality of work is up to snuff.

    I would suggest a site: "get a freelancer dot com" as well. I have been using that for wide variety of outsoursing. At some point of my life I had almost 100 people working in my company and I can highly recommend outsourcing. It really dont matter are people working in or out of your company, it only matters how good they do their job. But when you outsource you can switch the provider very easily.
