		<description>It&#039;s a great feeling to give a virtual assistant the first task and actually be surprised that they did an excellent job.   I&#039;ve been documenting how I have www.OutsourcedMyLife.com and have had some good and bad experiences.

The concept of working with an outsourcing firm instead of an individual is appealing for the reasons you mentioned, but I just can&#039;t commit to the hours needed to bring the rates down to the level that makes sense to my business.

A question about working with these firms:  Do they up the rate for tasks that require more &quot;skilled&quot; providers?   For example, your project above is perfect for the average $4.00 an hour provider, but what if you want a website updated or graphic design work done?  Do they accommodate this?  If so, is it at a different rate?</description>

		<description>I am going to try GetFriday.com out as soon as they get back to me. I sent my interest request to them last week. I guess they will get back to me in the beginning of January 2008. 

I&#039;m sitting here trying to get some action for my dealmaking subscribing service (paid subscription). So the whole idea is to outsource the adword marketing more or less and make some cash:). Wish me luck.

		<description>So your really looking for someone who can take your request and get it done in a reasonable amount of time without you babysitting, right? I mean that is the job of the PA, right?

I just find it hard to believe that there aren&#039;t people, and I don&#039;t mean kids or college kids, that need work, have skills, and would give you the attention you want, right here in the US? Assuming of course you&#039;re in the US. Is it really as bad as you describe or is that an assumption? Just asking of course.

This whole outsourcing thing just rubs me the wrong way. I think we have so many capable people in our own country (me speaking about the USA of course) but we ship work to other countries because we don&#039;t think people will give us a fair deal for the services we want.</description>
