Outsourcing

Fiverr started out as a site where freelancers could offer simple services at just $5 a pop. Since then, it's grown into a sizeable marketplace where you can outsource just about anything (at varying price points). In our experience, Fiverr has been great for ad hoc tasks that we need knocked out quickly, such as basic graphic design or admin work. Fiverr's review system gives you an idea of who the best freelancers are and it works pretty well, but we still occassionally get mediocre quality worked turned in. Nevertheless, we've found Fiverr to be a great resource overall, if used the right way.

Upwork has been a great resource for growing our business. They provide a powerful freelancer review system along with features that make it easy to screen applicants thoroughly. When we want something done, and done well, we turn to Upwork. The job management platform makes it easy and convenient to work with freelancers over the long-term. This has enabled us to build strong, ongoing relationships with many our freelancers, saving us the time and headache of searching for someone new every time we need something done. When you're ready to outsource something and you're serious about quality, we highly recommend Upwork.
