I feel more confident now! Great explanations provided in an easy to understand and digestible manner! Thanks, Evan.

It is only partially on outsourcing.
A lot is about prototyping. Which is not why I bought this course in the first place.
I was interested only in outsourcing.

By Tom McMillin on 5/10/2016

Some info is way too basic and drags out quite a bit and other info is too granular - focused specifically on tech startups - with details about code, apps and things...i want to know about outsourcing and i'm not a tech company.

By Aron Rodrigues on 3/4/2016

The content is outdated and tool centered

By Amber Chidakashi on 4/7/2020

He gets to the point straight away without spending too much time on who he is and why he is the most brilliant person in the whole world he packed a lot into a very short amount of space paragraph seems to have a lot experience and seems to have a :-) when is doing it

By Omid irani on 8/8/2018

best outsourcing course i ever take .... could use bit updating regarding platforms (since it was created some major players marged
and examples are bit out dated
would also suggest adding some contracts templates and samples
more explanations regarding protecting the startup
and to make it perfect
course would even add some firms and freelancers that course creator used ...
this course delv in project management wireframing and other real life examples that are great start for people that are thinking outsource their projects
GREAT JOB!

This course has delivered a lot of real practical value to me. It is everything as advertised and is full great tips and techniques. Instructor, Evan, is excellent - I've already signed up for more courses from him.

By Daniel Chow on 9/23/2017

Evan has got all the bases covered, so you will find his lessons practical in facing the challenges of getting your projects moving efficiently with the best possible terms with contractors or freelancers. He'll describe the many pitfalls in these outsourcing platforms which I wasn't quite aware of nor really understood. Evan's course is going to save you time, money, and get you more out of your efforts. I'm already preparing to use the sx5 hints, which I wished I had back when I used Freelancer and Upwork. Great job, Evan!

I really enjoyed this outsourcing course. I learned about some online services I need to start using. I liked the PDF outlines included with each section.
