It heps to know that they take their quality seriously. Fiverr is a festival of offerings, both useful and bizarre! But definitely worth a look.

My friend Richard Posey added on LinkedIn: “It’s a good resource article for me, not so much for outsourcing, but for what others are doing and their business models. I wasn’t aware of a number of these.”

We had mostly great success both hiring contractors and serving as contractors. In one instance, we hired a CFA from Pakistan to do some valuations work for us, and the screenshots showed that he was checking cricket scores the whole time. oDesk quickly intervened when we presented the evidence. Furthermore, they use an escrow system so that there is time for you to review the work before approving payment.

One website which you did not mention is fiverr.com – I have used them for graphic design, and if you need something done quickly and cheaply, it’s a good place to look, as everything costs $5.
