What is online outsourcing?
 “Online outsourcing is the business process of contracting third-party providers (often overseas) to supply products or services which are delivered and paid for via the internet. Online outsourcing emerged in the early 2000s, along with advances in internet technology, as a viable option for SMEs and entrepreneurs who lacked the necessary financial resources to meet the costs associated with traditional forms of outsourcing. Outsourcing or freelancing marketplaces play a pivotal role in connecting buyers of outsourced services (small businesses and individuals) with providers of outsourced services (freelance workers).”

 “Freelance marketplaces (or outsourcing marketplaces) are websites that match buyers and sellers of services provided via the internet. Service providers, or sellers, create a profile where they include a description of the services which they offer, examples of their work and in some cases information about their rates. Buyers register and complete a basic profile, they then post projects outlining their requirements. Buyers will then bid for these projects on a fixed price or hourly basis.” For more...
