About this blog
This blog is intended for people considering or curious about outsourcing (freelancing) within their business. It is primarily targeted at web based outsourcing, but will touch on other business, entreprenurial and project management issues. I aim to provide material that will support small to medium projects with budgets ranging $50 to $100k. This blog is not for large corporate/government projects with bloated governance structures, it is about being lean and getting the work done quickly, reliably and at the lowest possible cost.
About Me
My name is Hugh, and I am writing from Australia. I’ve been regularly using freelancer’s from a diverse range of nations including India, Pakistan, Croatia, Russia, Indonesia, Serbia, and China for around 3 years in my own business activities. I’ve started this blog because of the numerous requests and discussions I’ve had with both business people and professionals curious about using freelance or outsourced service providers, particularly those based overseas.
I have a background in business analysis and have worked for both large government agencies and small businesses. I have qualifications in ITIL and PRINCE2 methodologies… which will flavour a lot of my posts. I am passionate about process and profitability improvement for small business, because I know so many owners and entrepreneurs that work too hard for the money they earn. I hope that this blog can help a few entrepreneurs out there to make more money with less time and effort, by working ‘smarter’ not harder (horribly clichéd I know 
)
I’ve also lost a lot of money on failed projects over the years, so I hope that my bad experiences will help you have good ones. And like any good entrepreneur I’m hoping to leverage my experience to turn an eventual profit 
My aim is to post fresh articles everyday. A bit of a slog with no readers, but hopefully I’ll survive the solitude I appreciate feedback, so if you have any questions or comments please leave them on the blog or shoot me an email.
I’m still getting everything setup, so it should all start to take form over the next month or so.
All the best,
Hugh
