Identify the position that you require. First thing you need to do is to know what task needs outsourcing. If you need someone who can write a good product review then look for a content writer. If its about designing a website, then look for a website developer. Include the job description of the position to give freelancers an idea on what you are expecting from them.

Select good platforms to advertise your offer. You also have to be strategic on where you want to place the announcement or job advertisement. If you are paying for it, you should go for sites which are frequented by freelances. This way, you can ensure that the competent ones can see your offer.

Have a clear detail on the task. Aside from the job description, it can also help if you provide a background or an overview of the job. You may or may not divulge the full details. Providing this will help a freelancer to gauge the level of difficulty of the job and whether he is capable of doing it at your specified deadline.

Samples. Also, ask for sample of their works. This can be considered as the initial part of the screening. Those who show you good outputs are those who you will consider for the next stage of selection if any. Other than their resumes, looking at their works first hand is a better way of gauging their skills.

Set the price that you are willing to pay. Lastly, provide the cost of the work. This is one of the primary concerns of freelancers. They know their professional value so be sure that you price right. Having the right price will attract seasoned persons fit for the job.

Put extra effort in finding a competent freelancer to do the job for you. Do not be surprised if you bump into more than one good applicant. Set your criteria for the selection and get the right pick. You have a variety of options. Know who among them can work with you best. List down your needs and review it before advertising.
