Is there a limit to outsourcing...

The first book that I have been wanting to read for months is 4 hour work week. I downloaded it from audible (see previous post) and have already listened to 2/3 of the book since downloading it yesterday. It is extremely intriguing as he describes the process of outsourcing his life. I am going to try and outsource some small tasks to India. You can use sites such as elance to find reviews of companies or these virtual assistants. They can do everything from submit you to directories for SEO, research plans for a birthday party to responding to all your email for you. These "VA's" are not only polite, efficient and better with a computer than most americans, they are college educated. You can find a VA for $2-15 per hour. The latter would be for graphics, technical knowledge or web programing. But what if you could hire someone to find and order your christmas gifts, pay your bills and research a topic you are curious about for $2 an hour.

Give it a listen? audiobooks....

This week I stumbled across audible. com. A great deal for those who don't have time to read or would prefer to listen to audio books. Not only is it a great price, (into price of $8 a book) goes to $12 book after the first three months. I have had my eye on a few books that I wanted to read and was unable to get to find time to read them, I thought about downloading them on itunes. But apple charges an arm and a leg for the books. This is a streamlines way to listen to the books, cheaply. I downloaded my first book yesterday and thought the system was super easy to use. ta ta for now.
