My Take on Self-Publishing

[Bruh]

Erock87,

What site(s) did you use for the outsourcers. Thanks in advance & best of luck!

He has already answered that. Read the thread maybe?

I use oDesk and Elance, mainly. Main differences:
oDesk = cheaper, but lower quality and more work to sift through freelancers finding one that will actually work out. Don't have to pay until work is completed to my satisfaction. Good customer service and good protections for employers.
Elance = more expensive, but usually higher quality and less work sifting through spam cover letters, etc. Have to pay upfront into escrow (they take it out of your bank right away). Haven't had as good of customer service and workers are more likely to complain.
