The document discusses tips for outsourcing work to freelancers. It recommends outsourcing anything you can't or don't like to do. When outsourcing, consider if you have enough money and if the work is too slow or not good quality to do internally. Good places to find freelancers include friends, groups/forums, and freelance marketplaces. When posting jobs, provide detailed descriptions and perks to attract bids. Consider freelancers' experience, portfolio, attitude, time zone, costs, and more when selecting someone. Be wary of upfront payments or contractors who disappear after bidding.

Editor's Notes
- الاوتسورسنق هو انك تعمل توكيل لاحد خارج بلادك للقيام بعمل ما بالنيابة عنك لو اخدت شغل وسلمتو لحد جوات البلد هاد بسما كونتراكتنق.. يعني لما شركة محلية عندها مشروع وبدها شخص يشتغل عليه فتروح تجيب شخص تتعاقد معو.. هاد يسمى كونتراكتنق مش اوتسورسنق..
- لو عندي مهام كتيرة فبدي حد يعاوني
- Anything take long time from you
- اعمل اوتسورس افضل من انك تخسر زبون
- غالبا الناس اللي ممتازة ما هتلاقيها فاضية وبتتفاعل مع البوستات اللي بتنزل عالقروبات لانو دايما عندو شغل ومش كتير فاضي.. فان انا معني بناس مميزة ممكن اسأل Who is referring them? Do you trust that person? Ask him about example ? Cost details ? Any issues during the project
- لو ما اندليت ممكن انزل عالقروبات واطلب اللي مهتم يراسلني مثل بدك أي تي مان Freelance groups
- More information help you filtering them and discourages unexperienced people to apply • If people see you put effort in your description, they will also put effort in their bid
- Adding perks - you can add "small", "quickly", "short project", "simple"
- Why do freelancers like long term? Not only it means more money, it's that they spend less time searching for projects and clients
- If you need it fast, put “ASAP” or “Right now”. If you don't put that, people will bid and then leave
- Change and description before posting the job again
- Divide out your project into sections then ask them to give an estimate for each section (time and money)
- Invite freelancers to bid. You will increase your chance to get a suitable freelancer
- Hire different people for each part, they will be specialists in what they do and save you a lot of time and money
- Add your team to group chat. You have to make sure everybody is synced with the others and on the same page
- You are a client, not a freelancer. Even worst client find freelancers who would like to work with him
- Outsourced developers will need more documentation (good/nice design is relative)
- Divide your project into segments and make a payment per each section of work
- Developers are very literal when they look at specification sheets, if you don't list something out, they will think that's not needed
- Fixed if you know exactly what you want (like logo) Hourly if no one want to take the project "Hourly" - it means they get paid no matter what, less risk involved
- Hybrid when you are not sure about project requirements and scope Hybrid : Ask them about their hourly rate, then get it lower as possible.. Then work as fixed price project.. Any future requests will be in same hourly rate
- If you delay, the other person will match that delay You can't blame the freelancer if he don’t submit the work before the deadline
- ممكن يكون الكوالتي في البورتفوليو كتير عالية وانا عارف انو مش ممكن يكون هاد المشتغلها فببحث وبتاكد هل هاد شغلو ولا لا.. ممكن البورتفوليو تاعو يكون في اعمال بمستوى عالي واعمال بمستوى ضعيف فبعرف انو ممكن يكون بانيها على توتوريالز او بكورس او بشركة بمساعدة زميلو بالعمل..
- لا تتعامل بكل مرة مع واحد جديد، حاول تلاقي واحد تعتمد عليه ويصير فاهمك وانتا فاهمو وابني علاقة ثقة بينكم .. هتاخد ديلز افضل هيك
- قد يكون بسبب انو المشروع طلع اكبر مما يتوقع، او انتا حطيت كلام عام وهو انصدم بالتفاصيل المطلوبة
