If you own a small business or online eCommerce site, you understand how difficult it can be to find dependable (and affordable) employees.

If you’re like myself, you operate more like a one man (or one woman) show and do a “little bit of everything”, including customer service, shipping, bookkeeping, marketing, management, and everything in between.

While you’re busy doing these day-to-day type tasks, you just don’t have the time to work on the most important tasks…i.e. marketing your business.

Wouldn’t it be nice if you could offload your most time-consuming tasks, either on a one-time or ongoing basis, to someone for $1 to $4 an hour?

Well, the good news is that you CAN, although maybe not in the same way as you would expect. Typically, you would advertise for the job in your local newspaper classifieds or ask your friends and collegues if they knew anyone that was looking for that type of job.

There are several problems with this method:

1 – You are typically constrained by the employee pool/talent in your LOCAL market

2 – You will need to pay at least the minimum wage (currently ~ $7.25 per hour)

3 – You typically will need to hire the person(s) on a full or part time basis

4 – You will probably need to provide the person with an office to work in, desk, computer, internet connection, phone, and not to mention, paying all the other misc expenses/taxes related to hiring an employee

The good news is that there is an answer! And that answer is…. Outsourcing.

There are several, very specific places where you can go to find talented, hard-working people to do any and all tasks related to running and marketing your small business. In addition, you can employees that are located outside the United States or Europe where you can pay as little as $1 to $4 per hour, depending on the skills that you need.

In addition, not only can you find people to help you with ongoing tasks, but you can also find people to help you with very specific, one-time projects like unique home designs that require skills that you might not even have access to in your local area.

Think about the possibilities!
