Here is an example for you to ponder.
I have writers on staff who are tasked to write three 600-800 word articles on health related topics.
It takes them eight hours.
I had a problem with a writer and to assuage my client, I told him that if I had to, I would write the articles myself. Needless to say I had to!
It took me under three hours to accomplish the same task that takes my writer eight hours to complete.
While I would charge $15 an hour or more as a freelancer, obviously my client does not pay anywhere near that rate when he hires my laborers.
At the end of the day, it is still cheaper to get outsourced labor who take three times longer to complete a task, then it would be to hire someone in the USA.
If time is an issue, you may be on the right track. If you are looking for continuous task-based work you may want to think again.
