One of the biggest misconceptions of social networking is that
you must produce mountains of content–and still keep your day
job.
Yes, you need content galore for your blog, articles, Facebook
page, press releases, Squidoo lenses, HubPages and video-sharing
sites.
But here’s a little secret.
You don’t have to produce all of it yourself, or even most of it.
Outsource, outsource, outsource.
Thousands of competent people, many of them unemployed, would
love to work with you right now, at prices you can afford.
And smart Publicity Hounds who realize that a bad economy is the
very best time to outsource are casting their nets for the best
writers, photographers and video producers. Those include a glut
of newspaper journalists who have joined the already crowded
market for freelance writers.
Here are three tips to get started:
–Social networking sites like Facebook and Twitter can help you
find freelancers fairly quickly. Just let people know what
you’re looking for and they’ll spread the word.
–Hire fast, and fire faster. Never let freelancers learn on
your nickel.
–Reward outstanding work.

freelance jobs.
