3 WHAT TO CONSIDER QUALITY Don’t make a decision based on price alone. Be sure to check out the quality of their work examples and compare price Vs quality. It’s important to base your own opinion on the their work. TIME TO COMPLETE Consider how long you think a task will take to complete. Then add on an extra week for task deadlines. That way you won’t be disappointed if the deadline is not met. Cost Set aside your budget and stick to it. Don’t just go for the cheapest freelancer, consider quality and cost impact. Ask yourself – is it worth it? Testimonials Be careful of fake reviews. When using freelancers it is sometimes best to go for those with lots of reviews. Read the feedback and see what others think.

They Can Dissapear Freelancers don’t have as much of a problem disappearing as your normal employees do. This is especially true with distance freelancers, meaning those who work through the Internet. Lack of Ability Every company is different. As a business owner, you know better than anybody there are nuances to your company that only could be figured out by working at the company.
