You can hire people with almost any skill set from all round the world to perform almost any task you can think of to help you run your business, and free up your time to work on your business. Writers, Web site developers, administration, book keepers, bloggers, personal assistants.....you name it.

As with anything there are pitfalls, but if you put the right processes in place this can be a fantastic way to turbo charge the performance of your business.

You can post a specific task and let providers 'bid' on the project. Then interview and hire a provider. I have successfully done this to produce content for a number of web sites. You could not possibly write the content articles produced this way yourself for the price I paid and the time it took.

You can also hire a provider 'by the hour' or for a set number of hours per week. You can hire a person from about $2 per hour to perform administrative or data entry work.

If your day has been filled with admin work, or you just can't get to that next project, then check out ODesk.
