This week, I’m delighted to bring yet another interview to provide a unique and refreshing perspective on the topic of delegating and outsourcing. Deborah Richmond, owner of TekkBuzz, is an internet marketing strategist and social media consultant. Her marketing experience in the corporate world combined with her knowledge and love of social media give Deborah an enthusiasm for the marketing power of Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn. Deborah works with companies and entrepreneurs, helping to develop a social marketing plan that they can follow to pump up their profits.

Deborah has hired virtual assistants as well as worked on projects as a virtual assistant through Odesk.com. Her experiences as both an employer and contractor give her a unique perspective on the topic of outsourcing. I hope you enjoy this episode!

Hi, this is Nicole Miller from vWorker.com (formerly known as Rentacoder.com).

Great podcast about using virtual assistants! Like oDesk, vWorker provides access to a wide variety of skilled virtual assistants. vWorker not only offers the same features and benefits that oDesk offers, we offer a few additional perks as well.

For instance, we actually analyze a virtual assistant's work to ensure it meets contract requirements if necessary. We also guarantee pay-for-time work and we issue refunds if worker misses a required status report.

If you'd like to learn more about vWorker, you can listen to vWorker's CEO, Ian Ippolito, talk about his company in TalkShoe's radio intervew: http://recordings.talkshoe.com/TC-139/TS-376455.mp3

Nicole, thanks for the comment on the show notes here (though it's a tad bit on the sales pitch side). I'm surprised to learn of your companies brand/name change. I had heard a TON of great things about Rent A Coder and it was an outlet that I had actually considered investigating. I must say, vWorker.com just doesn't sound nearly as appealing as Rent A Coder. But perhaps your company has branched out to offer more than just coding services.

Either way, glad you enjoyed the show.

You're very welcome, Cliff and my apologies about the salesy-ness. Sometimes I get over-excited about vWorker But yes, the company definitely branched out to offer more services. It has a new interface too. Hope you give it further consideration — as a freelancer, I absolutely refuse to use anything else.

Very cool. I'll investigate at one point in the future, I'm sure! Hope you have an amazing week!
