You might find a writer who will write a 500 word article for $1.00, but in the long run, you will get what you pay for with articles. Lack of quality can really break your efforts if your trying to article market.

Besides you have to take a minimum risk as you said but it can be minimized to a great extent if you choose the right parties for outsourcing.

Using professionals outside of the company can help the company's bottom line. Plus you can find really highly trained people who can work on quickbooks or manage the hr tasks, leaving a biz with time to focus on sales/marketing/customers service efforts.

Think of the time you spend on tasks you are really good at, ones that make the best use of your time dollarwise. Then consider all those other tasks you aren't so good at, that eat up time you could be spending on more productive work. Why struggle with fixing your website or making a presentation pretty if you can quick hire someone to do it for you. There are lots of folks for hire at guru.com an elance.com Even solopreneurs can gain from outsourcing.

Very convenient if you assign a small group or a single person to do it. Not only they reduce cost but it also decreases time spent on doing such task.

I myself work freelance on Elance, and so many people want to pay really cheap rates for article writing and outsourcing, but you have to keep in mind that your content will be cheap as well.

It's funny, when it gets tough and you need help in a pinch, it can be about more than just the money, but picking a person who you trust and who will do right by the company. Best advice that can be given, pay attention to what is coming down the road and have people and companies in mind. If that isn't possible, say with the way the economy just dropped off, then you asses your best and worse case scenerio's and pull the trigger. Look at how the person / company handles their own business in the aspects you will be needing help. If it's in marketing or sales, then their website, branding, social networking and closing skills should be apparent. Anyone can put together a reco list, but look for the proof in their own dealings. Great post. Very good article.
