I know an outsourcing agency owner who spends $5K on Linkedin to find 1 client but I can’t spend that much money because I am just starting out. I didn’t keep in touch with him so I’m asking you instead.
When we talked he said I’d buy manhours for $20/hr in my country and sell for $30/hr in his country. He was a nice dude and said I should give it a try.
PS. I have a CS degree but I remember nothing. I got D from OOD course
A few questions: where are you and where do you want your clients to be? What services do you offer, and how do they differ from competing outsourcing companies?
Does it matter that much?
Yes. For example there are many companies in India serving clients in the US. So you would need to know how you differentiate yourself from them. We work with a company who does graphic design, and their big value prop is their ability to snap to US business practices. So, they are more expensive that some, but they create an easy way to work with them. They also work 12 hours difference, which is handy. In contrast, I have worked with people in Columbia, who are roughly in the same time zone. Their big value is price.
