Quality is everything
Sure, it’s very cheap to use freelancers on the internet but beware of the quality in there work. Of course, most of the people working as freelancers are very good. But as this market grows each day, a lot of non serious persons are entering the market. If you hire freelancers on the internet, make sure that they know what they are doing and they can deliver what you want before you start working with them.
Since we are about to launch Testfreaks soon, I’m handling all the quality checking (with help of freelancers of course). When I look at our competitors on the net, I see that they are more interested in having lots of products with even more reviews rather then a good quality. They have totally missed out on the quality in the service they delivering. On we want the user to comeback over and over again, because of the good quality in our service.
I talked to a friend that needed some help with his php programming and hired an Indian freelancer from one of the big sites. The prgrammer promised to deliver within five days, after five days my friend asked for the finished function but was told he needed another three days. This function was very important for my friend, since his site really needed this upgrade. Nothing happened after three more day, my friend had now lost two weeks of time. Two weeks are a long time on the internet if you should try to keep your regular users. My friend finally gave up and hired a freelancer that I recommended him, and got the job done on two days. Always beware of freelancers that promise a lot and have no feedback from old users. All the mayor big freelancer sites on the net show feedback of there users.
Good luck everyone.
