Benefits
The Agents of Value system is designed to be the most efficient way of getting webmaster assistance.
The traditional project-based staffing model has considerable setbacks for you, the client, and our new system has eliminated them. Think of it, the traditional project manager serves as the information gatekeeper to the producing workers. The project manager needs to understand the information and then relay them to a worker. This set-up creates two factors that can reduce the quality of the outcome:
- Information can be relayed incorrectly
- Time is lost by not communicating directly with the workers.
Our services has been designed for webmasters who prefers to be their own project manager and who want to have a cost-effective long term working relationship with a webmaster staff.
Contrast with Freelance Market
In what ways are we even better than finding someone over Freelance or Rentacoder? In particular, there are a few major problems that come from working with freelancers which we have simply done away with in our system:
Running an online business tend to be ongoing.
- Hiring workers on a project basis often leads to cutting corners to finish a job on time. Consider link building, which, on the surface, seems to be very straight-forward job. A freelancer who is tasked of getting a specific number of backlinks, with no other instructions, would choose the path of least resistance. Most likely, these links would come from a low quality source. Many of these links would be absolutely worthless for the site being promoted, providing no real visitors, meaning no benefit in search rankings.
- While a freelancer is finishing your project, they are already thinking about where their next project is coming from. It’s human nature to seek for security. While a bit of pressure from you can be great for moving a project along, let’s face it, freelance markets can give a tenuous lifestyle for even the best webmasters or developers.
- Freelancers work unpredictable schedules and may not have the appropriate tools or work environment.
What Work Can I Assign to a Webmaster Agent?
You can assign any kind of work which can be done and instructed over an Internet connection. Often, our clients already have a work list for their agent. If you’re not familiar with collaborating over an Internet connection, chat with our brainstormer. We’ll help you figure out an efficient plan for getting your business ahead.
Many of our clients have not had an employee or worker under them.. Because of this, we’re providing a few suggestions on successfully working with your agent.
1. Set Goals. This includes setting both short term and long term goals. What objectives do you want to accomplish in the next two weeks? Next, the goal for the next 12 months? Make sure that these goals are as specific as possible. Make sure that they can be measured. Most of all, the goals you set should be realistic.
Make it a point to review these goals on a regular basis to see how you are doing. Sometimes you need to adjust your short term goals, while always keeping your bigger and long term goals in mind.
2. Be Considerate. Even though you will probably only know your agent through chat or email, always remember that they are real persons. Sometimes, people have great ideas and are able to complete tasks perfectly while in other times, people get sick or make an error. One easy way to be considerate is to keep in mind the Golden Rule (aka the Ethic of Reciprocity). Do unto others as you would have others do unto you.
3. Be a trainer. If you are in the position to hire an agent, you might also be the best one to train an agent. If you are particular about the results of a project, then it really is up to you to make sure that an agent is trained properly, and instructed about your goals.
If you are particular about the results of a project, then it really is up to you to make sure that an agent is trained properly, and instructed about your goals.
There are many different strategies that a businessman uses, and if you teach your vision, tricks and goals to your agent, you would have another person on your team to help you more efficiently. This is also one of the benefits of having a great long term working relationship with your agent, you get to only instruct once.
We screen our agents very intensely. Agents for tasks like content building, SEO, affiliate marketing, or general web marketing have been given IQ tests, in-person interviews, and are asked to create writing samples under time pressure. Webmasters for technical projects involving graphics and programming are asked to create a sample project to demonstrate their abilities.
However, after our screening, an agent is still a raw resource. In order to gain the maximum benefit from their work, it calls for the training specific to your work tasks.
