Outsourced webmasters at $350 per month
 

I've heard a buddy say there's a deal for outsourced webmasters (who've gone through rigorous training and know html/jscript/msql/php) for $350 a month . 48 hours a week. They provide the computers/bandwidth/time sheets/on cam monitoring, etc etc

Is this a good deal?

$350 a month a good deal?

That is a steal.

350$ is nothing... You can hire 10 of those and still pay 3500$/month:Graucho

I guess the considerations are the following:


MUST understand/speak English fluently

MUST be available on ICQ for the time they are working

MUST work US/EU/CAN hours (hours of their webmaster employers in US/EU/CAN)

MUST go through a rigorous training regimen

MUST have certification re applications/HTML/J.a.v.a.s.c.r.i.p.t./ph-p/etc

MUST have gone through an "apprenticeship" program

MUST be working at a centralized site

MUST be centrally managed (in addition to 1 on 1 communications with employer)


Plus there must be safeguards against them working for other employers.

That will be 1500$/month, thank you come again. Those 350/month people are mostly for grunt work, if they can do better, you're lucky:thumbsup

That's what I'm trying to find out. Also trying to see if there are other systemic ways to push the price even lower.

Reynold can you ICQ me? 209235248

I just got off the phone with my buddy and he assures me that this can be done at $200 a month.

What would your concerns be when buying a service like this?

does your buddy have a url?

"OXEO - The Best Host Beats Or Matches Any Offer From Any Comparable Host!"
Its a fucking joke :1orglaugh
They can't match jack shit.

They do but I don't want to mess up the surprise for him. He's testing this out with a US based data capture company. Apparently the results are looking very promising :)

$200 you have to be right at cost or even a little below it.

I would be suspect of a long term relationship at that price, as it would be very difficult to retain employees and even stay profitable for the outsourcing company.

If it is your own office, maybe.

That's based on Philippine prices, I don't know India/China/East Europe

i spoke with the company last week, they also have a free 1 week set up, www.adultoutsourcing.com

anyone used these guys?

used one of their designers
untalented fuck
my little sister could design better
waste of time

i used my free month and let him build sites instead lol
after that i spent weeks correcting his shit

btw for 350 bucks i will buy any available webmaster with that skills

1. that they follow directions (ie: if I give them a particular way to build a site, that's how they'll build it)
2. accountability for the work they've done (DAILY reports) so I know they're not just sitting there picking their noses
3. completing projects on-time
4. speak competent english
5. respond in a timely manner to inquiries (icq,email)

This is what I'd expect of any employee, not just outsourced ones.
I don't mind - actually I prefer - giving someone detailed directions and even examples of how I want something done; I'm not the type of person to just say "build me 10 free sites". I say "build me 10 free sites like THIS one" and then expect that the sites actually BE like the one I gave as an example.

The lowest I see on this site is $795/mo.

sorry to hear that dude, that offer (1 Month FREE) was given more than 6 months ago, when the company was just starting. it was a test phase for us and our designers to feel how the market looks like. why complain about the FREE month work?

presently, we are more organized and we can assure you that your staff is fully monitored during their shift to make sure customers are qualified. We learn from our mistakes and we are happy to say that we have outgrown most of our competitors in the market.

to those who plan to sign-up for the Free week to test the skills of our staff, and if your not satisfied, we will make the replacement immediately.

dude, hit me up on the ICQ and i'll discuss more about the 75+ outsourced staffs working to more than 25+ clients worldwide, or you can join our Live 24/7 Live Chat Adultoutsourcing.com

i run tgps/link lists - including writing the descriptions and linking them up/ html grunt work for $100 a month :winkwink:

yes, a Week FREE to test the skills of our staff. if your happy, then you own him 6 days a week, 8 hours a day (fully managed guaranteed).

Sounds too good to be true, but hell if it works out for ya great.
Is this a company that's doing this?
got the web address?

... why only 8 hours a day? Filipinos like to work 10 or 12 hours a day. That is the norm. Much better to spend time at work than at home .... diba ?

This is my most major concern, I understand that many foreign people can speak English. But very fluent English is a barrier that not many people have under their belt.

Those guys charge $800 ... so its not them.

This should not be a problem in a multilevel organization.

That's hilarious. These new outsource guys at $200 don't do design. I think based on these threads.........you know why :winkwink:

True, but those who spent more than 8 hours a day are only required to work 5 days a week. we have to extend our days of work to keep up with our clients who needs full-time work round the clock. I too spend more than 8 hours just to keep with my clients and to make sure everything is running smoothly with AOS.

In Asia, the Philippines is the only country that can speak the English language fluently. Call Centers is one of the major booming industry here, Macromedia, MSN and other bigger players, you name it.

Exactly. Plus using contractors, webmasters can be sourced for $200 or less.

Couldn't agree more.

What if they also allowed US/CAN/EU-based webmasters the option of SELECTING WHO TO HIRE?

If you tell what exactly you want

maybe i can do

what i know

php mysql oracle jsp html

c c++ some java(gonna be good in 1 2 months) ...(things a computer science students know)

I need money:)

One sentence comes to mind.

"You get what you paid for"

gee that's kinda going to make it hard. You've just confined yourself to south americans.

There seems to be a revolutionary innovation making the rounds lately called a "night shift" :winkwink:

What exactly will you be getting for paying extra for same quality work?

By the way the price is $200 per month. 9 hours a day, 6 days a week.

This works out to about 92 cents an hour.

good luck, I'm sure you'll get the cream of the crop :). Night shift is for juniors or college kids.
