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.
