Now Available on oDesk

We’re pleased to announce that we’re now available on oDesk! oDesk is a great resource for those looking for quick projects that need to be completed with minimal interaction between the client and the provider.

It definitely is NOT for the programming novice as many of the providers have sub-par English skills and expect a lot of detail from new clients. Here are some pro’s and con’s of using oDesk:

Pros (the good stuff)

• Great way to ensure invoices are accurate with hourly jobs
• Great for locating low cost providers for simple projects
• Offers providers from dozens of different work categories - programming, design, technical writing, legal work, personal assistants, and more!

Cons (the bad stuff)

• English skills for most providers are quite bad despite passing tests on comprehension
• Complicated projects that require client-provider interaction are extremely difficult (most providers are in India and other low-wage countries, making phone conversations a sticky situation and very difficult to understand)
• Overwhelming responses - we’ve posted jobs on oDesk before to help us complete a couple projects and we got dozens of responses, many of them not having the minimum requirements we requested AND most of them didn’t even read the job description! VERY frustrating!

Check us out on oDesk!
