Search for the Best People

It is in your best interest to research before hiring a contractor.  Remember that you are working within your budget, so outsourcing haphazardly can result in a loss of precious funds, especially if you need to have the work redone.

Take your time and do not make an uninformed decision. Use all available resources, ask for references, and speak to others, visit websites, look at samples, anything you can do to get a clearer perspective on someone you are considering. If you take this task seriously, you will certainly improve your odds for positive results.

Another tip that Nicole Dean from OutsourceWeekly.com recommends is to give a small task to three people to test them and find out which is the best fit for you before investing a large amount of money with any one person. For instance, if you need 15 articles, hire 3 separate ghostwriters to write 5 articles each. Find the articles you like best, and the person who was the easiest to work with, and, of course, weigh in price. Whoever “wins” the challenge – you will certainly want to continue to work with.
