#020: Tactical Tuesday: Tips and Tools for Building a Team

Jason A. Duprat, Entrepreneur, Healthcare Practitioner and Host of the Healthcare Entrepreneur Academy Podcast, discusses how you can hire freelance workers and the benefits they bring to your business.

 

Episode Highlights:

 Jason talks about building his team with freelancers.  Which websites are the best for sourcing freelancers?  What are the benefits of hiring a freelancer?  What are the legalities for hiring a contractor?  What benefits are available to contract workers?  Why should you hire a Virtual Assistant? 

 

3 Key Points:

Recommended websites to source freelancers include: Upwork.com, Freelancer.com, and 99Designs.com. Save money using freelancers and contractors versus W2 employees. You won’t need to pay into Medicare/Medicaid, Social Security, vacation pay or unemployment benefits. In addition, freelancers overseas often offer a lower hourly rate as well.   A Virtual Assistant is often the first freelancer entrepreneurs hire.

They can work in the evenings; they can work in the mornings.” – Jason A. Duprat
