Outsourcing - Get Your Work Done At a Lower Cost
The globalization phenomenon of the 90s brought about two
significant changes, which were looked quite an unrealistic
proportion just few years before the dawn of the 90s. The
internet revolution, the ultimate thing that helped globalize
the world, caused physical distances to shrink and economies
became more and more interrelated, in a way such that an
economic change at some part of the world bound to have some
sort of an influence in other economies as well. Globalization
virtually expanded the contours within which businesses
functioned earlier - both in terms of economics and service -
and redrew the limits to encompass every corners of the world
where businesses can be set up without much hitch and services
bought in plenty. This paradigm shift had indeed become the soul
of outsourcing. A good 15 years since outsourcing commenced,
market researches have shown that outsourcing accounted for
services at a low cost - as fewer by 50% - and that without
compromising on the quality of work and execution time.
In these early years of the new millennium, where we stand
today, the Asian and south-Asian countries ranks themselves as
hot beds of outsourcing, a fact substantiated by market experts
who put the net worth of outsourcing industry based on these
countries to a whooping $100 billion, and the number increasing
by the day. The figures itself is clear indication of the amount
of work outsourced to this part of the world. But if you are new
to this field, how to get yourself started with outsourcing?
Also, there are other questions such as how to outsource work
and where to find the required services and talent? Furthermore,
where to post the proposals so as to receive maximum exposure?
Well, these are exactly what we are trying to explain in the
following paragraphs.
There are various websites in which you can submit the project
proposals and requirements. Most of the websites charge a fee
for signing up so as to post the project details while some
others are partly-free. Also, there are free sites which allow
people to sign up and advertise projects free of cost, and a
nominal commission will be charged if the advertiser finds a
freelancer through the site.
Which ever website you choose to post to, it is the visibility
one's advertisement gets that ultimately matters in drawing more
talents and hence a better talent pool from which the final
selection can be made. Therefore, tactically, it will be prudent
to post the project in at least two websites at a time. Ideally
this should be a pay-site with the most competent services and
maximum viewer ship and a free one. The project posted in the
former may provide an enhanced promotion - as per the marketing
standards and quality of the site - meanwhile posting in the
latter, and if it is a new one like WorkAsFreelancer.com, gives
the client a place at the top of the list and hence better
chances for finding quality bids with less struggle.
Alongside visibility, there is one more aspect that the
advertiser need to stress on - it is the type of the project and
a detail of the requirements and demands from your side
regarding the freelancer who is bidding for the project. It is
in fact a way of telling the freelancer about what you expect
from him. Such enunciated way of posting projects eliminates the
issue of inappropriate bids and draws more freelancers instead.
WorkAsFreelancer.com offers you free service in terms of posting
the project and right through freelance bidding to signing the
contract. Also, unlike other websites, both fee based and
partly-fee types, it allows the clients to send private messages
to others, in order to brief your project or to invite somebody
else to join the bid. Another feature is that, as soon as the
client wins a project or selected somebody to execute the
project, the concerned party is provided a project page
containing detailed information about the progress made, escrow
account and much more. Finally, the website team will offer you
necessary tips on the do's and don'ts when clarifying the
project requirements. And you won't be charged even a penny for
that as well.
