Excerpts:

• When you see this icon, it means that the strategy right next to it is a guaranteed winner. The whole book is full of winning strategies actually, but these guaranteed winners kind of just “stick out.” (page 18)
• Naturally, you’re going to want the service of a highly ranked coder because the quality of his/her work is pretty much guaranteed. But there are a couple of risks in working with a busy coder. (page 32)
• In this book, we walk you through the steps of making your project as appealing as it can possibly be, but there really are no guarantees that qualified coders will bid on it. (page 101)
• It also provides a Safe Project Escrow™ process that guarantees buyer satisfaction prior to payment. We explain all of that in detail a few chapters down. (page 117)
• Proposed successes don’t guarantee monetary compensation and they therefore present another financial risk to both the RentACoder (now, vWorker) service and the coders that work through the site. (page 181)
• Bid quotes are supposed to cover things like wages, training, building space, equipment, delivery, taxes, Internet access costs, etc. When they don’t, they put outsourced projects at risk because they offer no guarantee against unnecessary work disruptions: a foreclosed office building for example, terminated electric service, or angry unpaid coders gone postal. (page 218)
• Paying for Deliverables for example, guarantees a refund in the event a coder fails to fulfill a contract. It additionally protects buyers from having to pay extra for overtime. (page 282)
• Some buyers try to entice coders with the promise of future work. The only problem with this behavior is that there’s no real guarantee of future work. Anything can happen between the promise and the future. (page 376)
