    Hi all..

    I am setting up my new online business (dating site) and I would like to know if it's possible to hire somebody who could take care about the blog? Which means the whole promotion of the blog.. I know I can do that by myself, I have done it before, but I simply don't have the time for that because the main dating site cost me a lot of time and energy to maintain.

    So what I need:
    - someone who could install plugins for digg etc.
    - someone who could do marketing with stumbleupon etc.
    - and other blog promotion activities.

    Basically, I will provide the content of the blog (news, contest winners etc.) and I want to outsource all the other activities to get the blog promoted.

    Is that possible? because I haven't seen any services somebody has offered.

    Thanks!

    Of course it's possible to outsource these services. Just post a job offer for what you need done and you'll recieve a lot of offers (I'll assure that you will get some from outsourcers..)

    Everything and anything can be outsourced honestly, just post up the offer and see ;) also state that you're on a low budget..

    I've posted an offer before (without the intention of outsourcing) but recieved a lot of opportunity to do so... from people's offers.

    there are a lot of people who do this. in terms of pricing, it can vary wildly. i personally make $xx,xxx from doing this particular thing with only ONE site. promotion/PR is not a cheap thing to buy.

    Just check out the buy and sell area you will find lots of categories and people willing to work for you.

    Good luck.

    Everything is outsourceable - this site being one spot to check, scriptlance being another...the possibilities to get this done are endless. How you want to manage it is another story. Make sure you trust who is going to do this for you, the management can take as much as the actual work with the wrong people. :/

    thats not outsourcing, you need to hire a good manager - with some marketing skills. To me it looks like a full time job

    Yes, you can outsource. Make sure the applicant has the experience. Use escrow to pay.
