How To Hire An Independent Contractor Or Freelancer

4/1/2022

 
Hiring a contractor or freelancer for marketing and lead generation tasks is similar to hiring anyone. It can be similar to hiring someone for lawn care or build a deck for you. It can be as easy as asking around or looking online.
Where and How Did You Hire A Contractor Or Freelancer

You can try a number of places to find great marketing contractors or freelancers.

  1. Facebook Groups. This has been one of my favorite places to find work and contractors - even today. It’s a simple process - just ask in a post if anyone can help you with a project or if anyone knows anyone that can help you. I get a lot of work from the groups I belong to.
  2. LinkedIn. Love LinkedIn. I also get work from here. You can apply similar tactics that you do to Facebook Groups. LinkedIn also lets you notify people that you are #hiring with a graphic on your image.
  3. Referrals. Ask around. Easy peasy. As a contractor, I ask my clients to refer me to people they like and need my type of work.
  4. Google. Yep - a quick search should show you a great group of people to speak with.
  5. Fivver, Upwork. You can find good contractors here. It might take more effort, but it can be easy with the search feature and these groups will process the payments for you. They do not confirm people or certify they are perfect, but if they get bad reviews I don’t think they will stick around long. Send them messages to see if they will be a good fit and are available.
  6. Other Social Media. You can do the same things I mentioned for LinkedIn and Facebook groups on just about any social media outlet.
How To Hire Contractors For Your Business

Once you have narrowed down some people you like, look over their website and social media to get an idea of what they offer and how they perform.

➡️ Do they have a portfolio you can look at?

➡️ Do they have reviews you can read?
​

➡️ Are they active with other jobs?

Reviewing their brand online before you ask to chat can help weed out people that aren’t a good fit. For example, if you need someone to work on your social media management, a copywriter probably won’t be the right fit for you.

Once you have a handful of people you like just get on the phone or video and chat with them.

Can they provide you with what need for the job? Ask them some questions to get to know them and their abilities to do the job.

When you have narrowed it down, sign a contract, set a schedule, and discuss expectations.

You might be nervous if this is your first time hiring. If you have a contract and some processes set up it should be fine to go forward. You should get more comfortable with the situation as you move ahead.

You might always be nervous. This might just be something you need to deal with on your end. Hiring a contractor or freelancer can help you get more work done in less time so it can be a fantastic option for your business. Get to know the people you are working with more and the nerves should quiet down over time.

Hiring A Contractor

Often, a set timeline works when you start with a new contractor or freelancer. Say, 3 months. If you are both happy with the work and the working situation after 3 months, go forth and prosper.

If it’s just not working out, no big deal, and you part ways. This is a fantastic way to ease those nerves you might have as well. If it’s not working or maybe you even find you don’t need the help anymore, you can just end the contract.

It works both ways with the contractor you hire. Payments should be wrapped up and any exit processes, but this should always be an option for everyone.
