This is a great list of tips. I've had an experience with contracting a website developer to build one of my niche sites for me. The outcome was completely horrible but I wasn't exactly satisfied with his work.

That was a learning experience and now I have more of an idea of what to do and look for when outsourcing overseas.

Thanks for sharing this great info!

Hi Ivan.

Great collection of responses on a topic very important to anyone running a business site, or any Website that relies on freelancers. You can't get upset with the results if you haven't communicated effectively and monitored the job being done in the first place. Make your expectations clear and speak up quickly when they are not being met.

Trust.That's something you should try to establish with a freelancer overseas. Build a great relationship with them and they'll become more productive. Give them great feedback if you like their work. They'll be encouraged by it.
