Outsourcing Through RentACoder (now, vWorker) is a 418 page step-by-step user guide for entrepreneurs who want to reduce their workload and increase productivity at the same time.

Excerpts:

• Over 114,000 individuals and companies consult RentACoder (now, vWorker) for a wide variety of services including graphic design, web development, software development, and more. And the entire RentACoder (now, vWorker) workforce is a global pool of more than 260,000 independent contractors. (page 26)
• While we understand the curiosity, it’s important that people understand our genuine interest and enjoyment in helping others. It’s also important that people understand why we want to play a global role in the “team effort” concept. (page 35)
• Although RentACoder (now, vWorker) is a global outsourcing resource, plenty of jobs are outsourced domestically. (page 62)
• RentACoder began in 2001. In less than a decade, what started out as a one-manned crusade generated almost 800,000 outsourcing opportunities and millions of dollars in transactions throughout the entire process. Global IT continues to be a routine part of business for thousands of buyers and contractors every day through this very resource. (page 75)
• Global outsourcing has its perks — but working with a foreigner who isn’t fluent in your own language or “culture-speak” could prove difficult and inadvertently turn a simple project into miscommunication mayhem. (page 101)
• RentACoder is a global outsourcing resource in the truest sense. But because it’s a U.S.-based company, it cannot work with certain people. (page 124)
• Outsourcing departments are really relevant to nation-wide or global corporations only. Small businesses can bypass this often, costly step. (page 131)
• Because RentACoder (now, vWorker) is a global outsourcing resource, it starts with the international appeal – introducing both pros and cons of outsourcing overseas. (page 257)
• After touring through RentACoder’s Bid Request Wizard, you’ve already seen that the website is a global outsourcing resource. What you may not have fully grasped is just how extensive that global reach really is. (page 263)
