Use wickedfire to find your outsourcing! If you find some good ones, you can keep them around, and they won’t go no where.

yo man Jani G here…

aite i feel what you are sayin bro.

i just hired a few freelancers to work on some of my stuff, and the first thing that actually came accross my mind was “will they steal my idea?, ” or “what if i show them to much and then they just do it for themselves!!”

So i guess its 2 fold.

You could get somone who has no interest in internet marketing who will be good at technical or graphic work,

But then it may be tough when looking for somone who you want to work on other aspects of your business…

Best thing is to keep the relationship mutual and strictly business. Forget about teaching them stuff if they ask…

charge them like $500 per hour to teach them LOL

Wow. I always thought programmers and designers suffered from the starving artist syndrome. Only focusing on the job and nothing else.

That’s a tough situation. On the one hand, you genuinely want to help people. On the other hand, you want to keep your outsource folks. There’s nothing wrong with wanting to help people out. However, maybe you could mention that you need help as well. Good luck!

hmmm its not that I am not good at it because I use to do all the hard stuff when I had no money and it would take days. I am just getting lazier and lazier. Just the writing I admit I am not the best, especially grammar – as you can probably tell from my posts =P

Ian,

I think everyone has to use their own strength. that’s why you outsource the areas you are not too good at.
When people start to mix up the work, nothing gets done.

I certainly do not offer them advice on how to make affilliate money-the truth is, our strength is in ecommerce-and that;s a lot of hard work.

Well, Ian all I can say is kudos to you for being a good teacher. I understand your point of view, but you should feel happy for those you helped earning more money. And if I was the case, I wouldn’t turned my back on you an maybe recommend you a friend of mine that I trust and that can do my job.

My partner and I work with outsourced programmers and designers, and have had phenomenal success with Craigs List.

We certainly do not offer them advice on how to make affilliate money-the truth is, our strength is in ecommerce-and that;s a lot of hard work.

Now if our programmers asked us our advice, we would gladly give it, but because they don’t ask, we figure we have a win-win situation.
