Curious about outsourcing opportunities? Our book, “Outsourcing Through RentACoder” explains it all. Below are a few selected snippets that describe its importance and why you, as an outsourcer, should care. For details, head on over to this page and order the book.

Outsourcing Through RentACoder (now, RentACoder) 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:

• Either way, you’re bound to be impressed. RentACoder (now, RentACoder) is undoubtedly a force to be reckoned with especially since its sheer size alone can intimidate beginning users. Add in the fact that it’s the most recommended outsourcing resource on the Internet and you’ve got yourself a monolith of limitless opportunities. (page 25)
• Quite simply, providing our services affords us opportunities to influence change and development. (page 35)
• Outsourcing through RentACoder (now, RentACoder) gives individuals and companies the same opportunities as those itemized in the previous chapter – only these opportunities come through the Internet. (page 41)
• 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. (page 75)
• RentACoder doesn’t charge its hiring force for non-action. What it does instead is penalize individuals who make job opportunities available, but then refuse to select a winner. (page 89)
• At RentACoder, outsourcing proposals, job opportunities, requests for proposals (RFPs) and requests for information (RFIs) are called “bid requests.” (page 101)
• Just don’t make the mistake of checking categories that don’t match your bid request. Doing so only buries your bid request within a rather large pile of opportunities. And that only makes your opportunity harder to find. (page 205)
• Quite frankly, there’s really no way to prove the claims made in a coder’s area of expertise or resume — not at the evaluation stage anyway. The information within these fields is nice to know for future opportunities, but what you really want to know is on the second page of the database: The Coder’s Work History. (page 234)
• Negotiation isn’t exclusive to the buyer who wants to outsource. Sometimes a coder will find a fantastic buyer and want to hold on to the opportunities s/he can provide as well. But there could be something about the buyer’s processes that cause pause too. (page 267)
• We have a tremendous pool of educated, talented, and equipped employees right here at home. And we have a tremendous pool of job opportunities that could close the unemployment gap, put our consumers back to work, and fix the economy. (page 406)
