Categorize
Break down the internet outsourcing into your main categories. (Content, Design, Traffic, Programming). Each of these elements need to be managed as a separate business unit. By putting together team leaders the team can be managed efficiently with cutting edge software.
How to start?
Once you decide to outsource you can either use an outsourcing management provider or learn the more advanced outsourcing methods and do-it-yourself by using a talent aggregation website.
How much should you pay out?
You should avoid working with the lowest bidder. Also you should be avoiding automatic bidding companies (people who respond to every job without reading the brief). Look for people with experience in the exact field you are demanding. Check reviews and evaluations to ensure they were rated for the very same type of work you’re requiring. Make certain they are responsive prior to getting the position.
Advanced tip
Put up small jobs first to select a few people to do it and then scale up with the winning supplier. If you get a few individuals to complete the same small job you will be reducing the risk over the long term.
How will you pay outsources?
Keep the money in the system you’re using. So if the network you use (like RentaCoder) uses escrow then continue to use that. If you branch out to friends and recommendations from your original designer you may wish to use Paypal or a direct debit / International Bank transfer.
