TECH EXPERTS

If getting your tech in order has your head spinning (and you’d understandably rather focus your efforts elsewhere), then I highly recommend that you hire a web-savvy admin, virtual assistant, or freelancer to help set up the back-end technology for you. It’s extremely cost-effective, and can save you a lot of time and frustration in the long run. 

In addition to checking out the website resources below, you can also refer to the support section of the specific platform you’re working in, as many of them have recommendations for independent contractors you can hire to help you out.

Your website should be your most profitable asset, not your most painful -- and with Belay Solutions, you can hire a professional ‘techy’ to take care of all the daunting website details for you. Their website specialists reside in the U.S., and are highly vetted with both proven and tested experience.

I’m a huge fan of virtual assistants -- and Time etc is a great resource to find someone that’s just right for you. They’ll carefully match you to an assistant based on the experience, skills and personality traits you need, so you can say goodbye to the energy-zapping tech tasks that leave you overwhelmed. Time etc’s assistants have passed a 10-stage selection process, designed by Penni Pike, former assistant to Sir Richard Branson and have an impressive average of 12 years experience.

Freelancer is one of the world's largest freelance marketplaces, where you can find tech support to help you with just about anything you can imagine. It’s free and easy to post a job -- simply fill in a title, description and budget, and competitive bids come within minutes. Plus, you only pay when you’re 100% happy, so your satisfaction is guaranteed. 

Upwork is an online work marketplace that connects millions of businesses with independent talents around the globe. Post your job to start receiving proposals -- and once you've found your expert, you can talk about timing, availability, and prices before moving forward. While you can hire talent for one-off tech jobs, the platform focuses on creating longer-term relationships between freelancers and clients.

Fiverr is a freelance website that strikes the perfect balance between price and overall value. Unlike Freelancer and Upwork (where talent can bid or submit a proposal for your job), Fiverr freelancers list their services and pricing up front, making it a great option if you have a set budget in mind. Fiverr’s emphasis is also on one-time, short-term projects (known as “gigs” on the site), as opposed to long-term relationships.
