Internet Marketing Assistant
Internet Marketing Assistants are in hot demand. The problem is, everyone thinks of themselves as an Internet Marketing Assistant even though they are not offering anything that is special or highly skilled. Read this post about hiring internet marketing assistants from oDesk.
John Cow is a good group of Internet Marketing Experts and they are desparate for some quality help. The problem is, finding quality help amoung the multitude of people claiming to be internet marketing assistants is difficult.
The fact is, once you get really good, you make more money doing the marketing for yourself. So to find a good internet marketing assistant, you need to find someone that is experienced, but not so good that they do not need the work.
Another solution is to hire different assistants for different tasks. For example, instead of hirning an internet marketing assistant, you may want to hire several people and each specializes in one task.
- Blog Writing
- Online Advocacy
- Online Contest Manager
- Editing
- Social Bookmarking
- Newsletter Management
- Help Desk
These are just some of the ideas. If you hire individuals to run one area well, then it is easier to assess their skills and less likely they will become good at overall internet marketing and start doing things for themselves.
