The School of Internet Marketing Instructor Discusses Outsourcing Secrets
Jersey City, New Jersey (PRWEB) July 29, 2013 -- Outsourcing has become a hot topic throughout the world and many businesses use it to save money on projects. Professor at The School of Internet Marketing and President of Halyard Consulting, Jonathan Goodman, talked about some of the secrets of outsourcing today on his recent podcast from July 1st, 2013.
Goodman stated that outsourcing has become a way of life for many companies because it is cost-effective. Companies can find many sites on which to post their project to find freelancers to do the work. Goodman mentioned Elance and Fiverr as two he has used. It is important to know which sites to use for different types of work and what projects can be delegated internationally and what ones must use workers in the same country.
"I hire Americans, and I hire Canadians. But at the same time, I hire Kenyans, I hire Greeks. I hire Egyptians for a lot of the work that I need done." - Jonathan Goodman
A secret that Goodman provided for businesses seeking to post projects for freelancers had to do with pricing. He recommended not putting a price on a project to leave it more open for freelancers from all over the world. The difference in a price bid is not an indication of the level of quality but rather a representation of the average salary in that country. Discounting low bids could mean someone was missing out on a top freelancer. Goodman also stressed the importance of keeping a good freelancer once a business finds someone to work with.
