Of the first 6 projects I did, only 2 were successful, but the two teams of people that I found then have done the majority of my projects since (one in Ukraine, the other in Pakistan) They are very reasonably priced and very professional and now understand what I want (I should point out these weren't affiliate based site - this is pretty new to me) The way I look at outsourcing is the same way you look at developing adwords - you throw a wide net, cull everything that does not work and you are left with the profitable ones that repay your initial investment many times over, especially if you invest more time/money into them. This is what I have with my guys. I still give projects (especially the smaller, less urgent ones) to new people to see if I can find new stars, but spend some time developing your network and you will reap the rewards many times over Just a quick comment on Jen’s post about the overseas outsourcing.

On top of that, we actually had the opposite expected result as far as the time-table goes...it took over two weeks for us to get one article sent to us for inspection to make sure it was keeping w/our specifications ... it didn't. What didn't take very long was the prompt reply to our email notifying them of our desire to terminate the project contract(this was the only way to communicate w/them...even after we'd requested a phone number at the initial communication). We were quickly refunded. So, at least that part wasn't a headache! For us, the time wasted and disappointment just wasn't worth the discount. Thanks for the post Melanie (and Adrian =),

I about to explore outsourcing and this came about the right time. I told a client of mine to try Scriptlance and he had luck with a few developers over there. Some projects took a while, but the price was right and the time element wasn't that important to him. Great post. I about to explore outsourcing and this came about the right time.

Checked your post and agree with your pros and cons. Again, I stress making the call with the potential provider because offshore or not, clients will get a better feel if it's a good fit between them or not after just a few minutes of talking one-on-one. Got a (long) email stating that oDesk is ONLY for website projects. Not true. You'll find many other types of providers there but yes, their model (captures screenshots of you and/or your screen while you're working) does favor coding projects as clients get to verify that their coders are really sitting there and working. (oDesk providers charge by the hour so the screenshots help verify actual time spent on the project.) Excellent point Adrian. Checked your post and agree with your pros and cons.
