Big US companies utilized technology and outsourcing to make it possible for us, Pinoy BPO workers, to provide customer care, technical support and sell products for a living. But have you heard of personal outsourcing?
This could be the next trend in outsourcing. An ordinary individual can use present technology to 'outsource' work, to have time to do other things. In this scenario, let's say an American accountant may find someone offshore to do the Excel sheets for him to make his work easier and faster and just pay a few dollars for it.
Odesk is the leading website for online jobs and as I heard, it is also a marketplace for personal outsourcing. Similar websites followed suit and is also now providing stable part-time jobs for us Pinoy BPO workers.
This could be an opportunity for us Pinoy BPO workers to earn extra. I could only imagine that the time will come that a fifth grader in the US may outsource his homework for a dollar.
