I know an outsourcing agency owner who spends $5K on Linkedin to find 1 client but I can’t spend that much money because I am just starting out. I didn’t keep in touch with him so I’m asking you instead.

When we talked he said I’d buy manhours for $20/hr in my country and sell for $30/hr in his country. He was a nice dude and said I should give it a try.

PS. I have a CS degree but I remember nothing. I got D from OOD course

    Ah ok. Thanks for explaining. The guy I talked to was talking about his country and my country. He is buying software developer labor from Philippines. Compared to Philippines, workers in my country are more educated. Culture is more similar. Timezone difference is a few hours instead of half a day. But manhours cost $20/hr instead of $8/hr according to what he said.

    I don’t feel confident in my understanding of what exactly businesses need and what exactly workers offer them and how exactly I should act as a “matchmaker”. Would you be down to help me figure this out by any chance? :D

    Extra info in case it matters:

    • I can physically be in any EU country to do this, and I can stay as long as needed.
    • Being in the US physically would be pretty difficult but I can definitely incorporate there.
    • I worked as a graphic designer, developer, SE marketer for my own projects a long time ago. I don’t know how up to date I should be and I’m not sure what outsourcing services I should offer. Do you have any advice?
