I introduce myself and explain what you will be getting from this course
The first step is to decide what to outsource. Your biggest job? Your smallest job? The job bothering you the most? The one you understand best? The one you understand least? We cover all that in this lecture.
So if you need a freelancer, how do you find one? Where do you go and whom do you ask?
This part can be tricky, so there are some things to keep in mind when you're hiring so you can plan ahead.
How to tell what you should be looking for in a Freelancer, and how to get the information you want from potential freelancers.
Ahead of time? After the fact? During? Using milestones? And what is Escrow?
What you should (and should not) be doing once you find a good Freelancer for the job.
What to do if they aren't, and what to do if they are. And also how to establish what your expectations should be in the first place. This is the part where most people encounter problems when working with freelancers. And this is also when they usually give up, which is too bad since it is so close to success.
And we end with the Final Delivery, and what you should be doing during (and after) this stage.
