Do you want to establish a small business? Or expand an existing one without spending a lot of resources? Learn how to successfully tap a global community of highly-talented people to help you with your business when you don’t have the time or skills to do it yourself. Being a client on oDesk, the most popular online community, requires an understanding of how best to look for expert help, how to manage that help once you find it, and how to be a part of the community. Leverage other people to outsource building your dream business while investing very little of your precious time. Years of experience building complex websites to test new business models and finding online help with personal tasks have been distilled down into this short and fun overview. With this book, you can easily get started outsourcing, in the most economical and effective way possible! Specifically, this book guides the reader in a few simple steps. Each chapter is a short single focused summary of a step in the end-to-end process. Chapter 1: Know Your Direction Even If You Don’t Know the Destination describes the often overlooked step of making sure you have written down what the final outcome should look like and writing down budget guideposts for your project. Chapter 2: Get Someone Else to Help by Asking for It: Create a Job Posting describes the most important point when starting any project – finding the right person. Here the book describes creating a job posting with a sufficient amount of detail to attract the right type of skilled resource in the global market, weeding through the applicant pool to find the most skilled person at the right price, interviewing and then hiring the contractor. Finally, once you’ve identified the right person, this chapter describes what registering a form of payment looks like in this environment and some tips on how to protect yourself. Chapter 3: How to Successfully Run the Project with Your Contractor describes the ongoing process of working with the contractor once you’ve hired them. Working with contractors worldwide in different timezones with different backgrounds requires clear communication and expectation setting and periodic discussions with the contractor. The chapter provides some thoughts on the tools that oDesk provides to manage this relationship and some thoughts on how you can do a better job to get better results. Chapter 4: Ending the Contract and Closing the Job describes the process of giving and getting feedback in an environment where your online reputation can make a real monetary difference on who you hire and whether your contractors come back to continue to work for you if you need more help. Chapter 5: If You Still Don’t Have Time, Seek Help for Everything Else quickly mentions that you can get help for almost anything. Examples include, finding a personal tax accountant in your area, getting help with internet advertising for a local charity event, creating a video and non-technical help like finding editors, writers and help managing your personal social media. Chapter 6: Tell Us What You Think and Keep in Touch discusses how to talk back and join the conversation.
