oDesk... in the last few weeks.

$11.11 - Data entry into Excel, 4 hours.
$10.00 - Perl programming, 2 hours.
$10.00 - Data entry into Excel, 2 hours.
Part time VA $3.33 /hour (5-10 hours per week)

Not having to do this stuff myself... Priceless.

I think the best feature of oDesk is their Feedback system. Smart providers guard their feedback!

When I "looking" for someone;
Feedback 4.5 (out of 5) or higher.
Activity within the last 60 days.

I'm not in favor of the "Go out and hire a full time employee" mantra if you are new to outsourcing.
You are not ready!

Hope this helps.

Hey DJ

Do you have a beginners guide to using oDesk you could point me to. I am so annoyed at myself for not taking more action on getting things done. It would be a good resource on this forum, anyone that has outsourcers they use or recommend, be open to take small jobs from other members to help them get there feet wet so to speak.

It would be good to have a resource in this forum that can implement the actions that Tim and Anthony teach. By that I mean set up a wordpress install with WTG, Video site map, all the SEO plugins set up and configured, set up and configure the software that is promoted from Icansoft, get the Adsense template theme configured and running on your domain, I know I would be happy to find somebody to help me with those tasks.
