And its always better you do work with them instead of outsourcing it in an Indian SEO firm because Filipinos quite communicate so well. I'm optimizing my <a href="http://badboysofim.com" rel="nofollow">seach engine marketing</a> for the couple of new sites that I have and most of the work I outsource it in the Philippines.

I've tried to hire someone from Agents of Value but the English skills weren't as good as I wanted them to be. There are several other services available but most will have you pay $700 - $1500 per month for one writer (Philippine based). Since the average income of someone from the Philippines is $400 a month I would rather hire one directly instead of going through a company. Did you hire Jasmine directly or through an agency? /Mikael I’ve been looking for full time writers as well.

I gave a lot of details about the kind of work I wanted done. When I got replies, I picked the few best ones and asked them to do a "trial task." I "hired" the best one on a 2 week trial basis. I am in that trial right now. So far so good. @Jeet — I used the method that they recommended in the membership site — I found resumes that looked like a match, then I send a detailed email that specified what I was looking for and asked a few questions about skills.

You can get someone to do entry level secretarial tasks for as little as $200 USD per month (maybe less). Writers with some decent English skills cost a little more, and great writers cost more (and are harder to find). Programmers can be had for $400 USD per month and higher. @Sean — it is all over the place. You can get someone to do entry level secretarial tasks for as little as $200 USD per month (maybe less).

I actually found a great VA on Twitter. I also found someone on Odesk, but I used her there for a couple jobs, and then convinced her to go with me outside of their framework on a weekly basis and it has worked out well. I think that anytime you can spend money to make money, it is well worth it, and when you are a part timer, every bit of your time is well worth any investment made wisely, AL I am a part time internet marketer as well, and I have been outsourcing for quite sometime.

Biggest issue with outsourcing is communication. If you can get the person on phone and the person understands you it works great. How did you go about 'finding' the right person? Forums? Freelancing sites? @Mark: Good to know that you are able to find external help and are happy with it. Biggest issue with outsourcing is communication.

How did you go about ‘finding’ the right person? Forums? Freelancing sites?

You can find people that can do just about everything from programming to SEO to content creation, etc. Of course, cost varies as a function of experience and skill. Still, it is very affordable. The person that I hired is a general purpose writer with decent (but not fantastic) English writing skills. I plan to use her to research and write draft content for several niche blogs to start. I also plan to teach her article marketing and other SEO stuff that I am currently not getting done myself. But to answer your question -- anything that you want.
