I happen to enjoy working on the design of my sites - but when it comes to programming, after more than 10 years in business, I'm still at a loss.

Create a plugin? Pull a feed? Place an ad after every 3rd forum post?

Forget it... I have no clue how to program those elements and don't want to spend the time to learn.

So, what I've done many times is outsource that type work to programmers who KNOW how to do those things quickly...

The services that I use to find programmers are listed in no particular order below.

RentaCoder

RentaCoder is an international marketplace where people who need custom software developed can find coders in a safe and business-friendly environment. Buyers can cherry pick from a pool of 124,597 coders...enabling them to hire a coder across the country or across the globe…from the comfort of their computers.

Buyers who wish to hire internationally, can take advantage of favorable overseas exchange rates, resulting in work being done for 50-90% less than if the project were done in-country. Coders are also given access to a huge pool of potential work and have the ability to work independently from their homes rather than for a company.

Outsourcing Tip

Keep notes about your experiences with individual programmers that you hire. In some cases, you'll find that you work together so well, that you will post projects and invite JUST those specific programmers to bid.
