Knowledge Base

The “Knowledge Base” section of a FreelancersElite is a guide on how best to use a freelancing website and its diverse pool of service providers. It contains a complete drill down and “How To” for all aspects related to freelancing and outsourcing. Assuming you have made your mind to outsource some of your work to either freelance programmers or outsourcing companies, it is important for you to know everything you need to make informed decisions.

Read the resource section carefully to learn more about the points laid out below:

  • What are the deciding factors for you to choose a task to be outsourced?
  • How do you go about choosing an outsourcing company? What factors need to be considered?
  • How do you award a project to a freelancer or an outsourcing company?
  • How do you need to manage a project?
  • How would you pay a freelancer/outsourcing company after the project is over?
  • How should you be communicating with the freelancer?
  • If any disputes arise, how would you go about settling them?
  • Any other specific domain related questions.

Needless to say, the Resource Section has to be the most informative and critical section for any company owner to read before any decision on outsourcing is made. Freelancers new to freelancing should also make it a point to read this section carefully and completely to ensure a minimum of problems once they start a project.

The section is pretty monotonous. I wish to avoid reading this!

Don’t fall in the trap of thinking this section is monotonous! It may seem to be devoid of action due to a lot of information present. Please note skipping any section or not reading a part of this section, could have a direct impact on the execution of the project. This section has valuable notes and tips on effective project management.

Hey! What do I gain by reading this section?

As a buyer or the company who is outsourcing the task, you would know one important thing, on top of a lot of others – How to find the right resource? Most outsourcing projects fail because the buyer was not able to identify the right resource. On further analysis, buyers did not seem to spend time on researching to find the right resource. For simple jobs like Data Entry and Surveys, the damage done could be affordably managed. Imagine your freelancer screwing up an application development project!
