Outsource Your Work and Keep Yourself Free
admin October 2nd, 2008
I hope you have read my last post about discarding newsletters and are taking it seriously. If you are, a lot of the haze would have cleared by now, and your path ahead would have become visible up to the final destinations.
It is important to know at this point that you should not plan on reaching the final destinations by the sweat of your own brow:
- Because it will take you a very long time to reach the destinations without assistance
- Because you may not have the skill set to get there
- Because you will be so busy that apart from your computer, you will know no other world.
Now you must plan on outsourcing as much as possible, which will leave you time to smell the roses as well as read about the latest developments in your field and thereby stay up to date.
The people who do outsourced work (”service providers”) congregate at certain websites where they are met by people who want to outsource work. Examples of such websites are:
I have used all but the last one, and my favorite is RentaCoder.com.
On these websites, you have to place a description of the work you want done; service providers will see this description and bid for doing the work. You can choose the good bids, check the track records of the concerned service providers, negotiate with them, select the best one and award the work to them.
In most cases, placing your project description is free; occasionally, there is a small charge for this.
To get to know the nooks and crannies of outsourcing, I signed up for a 52-week course on outsourcing from the stable of Jimmy Brown, a renowned Internet guru. I suggest you try it too.
Follow the above instructions to get a lot done without taxing your daily life… which should be enjoyable and not a burden
To your pleasant, productive days — – –
