Are There Many Disadvantages of Outsourcing?

We hear a lot in the news about the disadvantages of outsourcing. But at the same time, there is also so much hype in the media about how much money businesses in America are saving by outsourcing jobs offshore. Turns out, the truth is, for large companies today, there are actually a number of disadvantages of outsourcing.

According to The Hidden Costs of Offshore Outsourcing, Stephanie Overby's well-researched article at www.cio.com, one of the biggest disadvantages of outsourcing, are the high costs incurred before long before anything resembling savings is even realized.

Outsourcing Problems

One of the most costly disadvantages of outsourcing most businesses must face is locating a reliable offshore vendor. Even after eligible vendors are found, the elimination process can take many hundreds of hours, costing tens of thousands of dollars. And this does not even include all the usual costs of traveling expenses which, are to be expected.

The next most costly of the disadvantages of outsourcing is that once a vendor has finally been chosen, you must then pay to bring their people to America to work with your people to learn your tools and system. This takes time - and more money, of course.

However, the news is not all doom and gloom. Many small business owners will be pleasantly surprised to learn the costly disadvantages of outsourcing don't have to apply to them.

Today's Outsourcing Trends

Have you heard about Fiverr yet?

It's a new website. And it's called Fiverr because people post whatever they are willing to do for just 5 dollars. 5-er . Get it? Cute.

At Fiverr, jobs are called "gigs". And some of the gigs are just the kinds of jobs you and I need to have done every week. Only now, we can get somebody else to do those jobs for really cheap!

A word of warning though.

Just because something only costs 5 bucks doesn't mean you should go to Fiverr and hire the first person who offers you their services. You need answers to a few qualifying questions first.

Questions like, what makes a good freelancer on Fiverr? What should I be looking for in a freelancer when I am considering outsourcing some of my projects? I don't want to waste my time or throw away money. I want to avoid any and all costly disadvantages of outsourcing.

Just because something is cheap doesn't meant you should expect to get ripped off or be OK about losing your money. Your time is valuable. And so is your money. Even if it is only $5.
