Outsourcing, Specifications & Project Management

[VTK]

Hey guys, we've managed to get our business to the stage where it's largely becoming automated and growing nicely. We're not however big enough to have an in-house marketing/graphic design/web-development/SEO team etc and will need to outsource. Is there any advice that you would give in terms of finding freelancers, effectively specifying jobs and overseeing completion? We've had some hits and misses so far. Cheers!
