Project Description Outsource Templates & Scripts
Quite a few people emailed questions and explained some of the frustrations they had with outsourcing. Primarily from those looking to source their first project. It can never be emphasized enough: Managing your Brand and how it is viewed in all mediums should be a top priority.
Once you have done something so many times it’s easy to forget, that it is not that easy to navigate the freelancer world & initially feel comfortable that you are making the best choice. Below we pulled together the framework outsource templates we have been using successfully for sometime.
There is always the real fear of making mistakes, wasting time, or the fear of being “ripped off”. Well, the last one should not be a concern if you are using reputable sources like Upwork.com or similar well known freelance sites. Research, ask questions, and make sure you are comfortable with the platform and just as importantly the provider/freelancer.
To help out all those who reached out to us directly we put together a series of scripts or outsource templates to use at all stages of working with freelancers.
This is the first post in a series of Docs/scripts, the series will cover:
- Project Specifications – leave no questions open about the project, scope, deliverable, and close/payment
- covering: Graphic Design, Web Development, Writing/Content, and Virtual Assistants
- Freelancer Evaluation – You have narrowed the list of potentials, make sure you leave no question unanswered with our interview script
