It’s to find great talent.  It’s even harder to find great talent when you are looking for virtual employees abroad.  i was able to find a few great virtual employees over the past few months.

Graphorce – I worked with Prasath Prabhakaran from Graphorce on the web design for SmarterFootball.com.  The design looks great and Prasath was a great asset while working on this project.  I plan on working with him much more in the future.  He was able to easily understand the project requirements and the work received was within deadlines and of the utmost quality.  All of our communication runs very smoothly through the Google Chat area of my Gmail account.

Siliconinfo – I started working with this company a few days ago and have had a great experience with the PHP programmer at this company we are working with.  All of our communication runs very smoothly on Windows Live Messenger.

If you know of any other great talent located abroad, we can build a master list in the comment section below.

There are many times where an entrepreneur has to do mundane tasks that he thinks is a waste of time.  That’s a part of starting your own company, isn’t it?

In the past – yes.  But not anymore with the wide range of virtual assistant services available.

I can find someone in India, Singapore, or the Philippines to program a website for me in less than 24 hours.

You can find virtual assistants in other countries by using the following websites:

1. Rentacoder
2. Elance
3. Odesk
4. Craiglist

International workers are not always the best route to go, but they can save you time and money.  it is also possible to find relatively cheap labor in the United States by using Craigslist.

If you haven’t worked with international workers, using one of these services to outsource can be an eye opening experience.  With cultural, language, and time zone difficulties, outsourcing internationally can teach any entrepreneur vital project management skills.

I highly recommend outsourcing a project just to get your feet.  Once you try it once, you will probably get excited about the possibilities and outsource more projects than you may think is possible.
