Short Task Review — Work from Home Pt 2

As you may remem­ber I wrote a while back about Short Task. Since I first ran into the prod­uct I’ve been using it for a num­ber of projects and with a num­ber of clients.

The real beauty of Short Task is that they let a mobile and flex­i­ble team of researchers and writ­ers (in my case) work at home. It saves me time, it saves me money and it allows me to work within the bud­gets given to me by clients.

Like I said I have been using Short Task for writ­ing mainly.

In many of our Inter­net Mar­ket­ing pro­grams we employ a blog com­po­nent for each and every client. It dri­ves social media traf­fic (after dis­tri­b­u­tion) and the blog posts gain trac­tion for Tail of Search terms very quickly. Dri­ving highly con­vert­ible traf­fic back into the web­sites — the long tail of search vis­i­tors are look­ing for a spe­cific prod­uct and are ready to buy.

So in this Short Task Review I’m going to actu­ally show how I use Short Task to man­age my tasks that I get my mobile team to com­plete for me.

First I login to http://shorttask.com and I’m given access to my con­trol panel (click for the larger version):

As you can see — I’ve got access to a num­ber of Short Task func­tions from here includ­ing my account man­age­ment, send­ing and receiv­ing funds, cre­at­ing new tasks and even renew­ing pre­vi­ous tasks (my favorite fea­ture). I spend most of time in the func­tions pro­vided by “Your Tasks”.

Let’s say I want to cre­ate a new task. Another handy fea­ture is that Short Task pro­vides me with tem­plates. This saves a ton of time as they’ve done the base work for me, I can eas­ily cus­tomize based on a tem­plate and get my tasks out in min­utes rather than spend­ing a ton of time putting together a descrip­tion. Here’s a sam­ple view of the out of the box tem­plates pro­vided (once again click the image for the large view):

These tem­plates frankly rock. The good peo­ple at short task have saved me time and because we are a small busi­ness time is always money. So all I have to do is launch a tem­plate, cus­tomize it and then pub­lish it into the sys­tem. I usu­ally get responses within hours and results within a cou­ple of days.

Once I get reponses from the free­lancers I can also accept or reject their work with notes. That also really helps since I can train them for my spe­cific pur­poses, I’ve reused a num­ber of work­ers in the sys­tem and their work just gets faster and bet­ter every time.

If you’ve got a small busi­ness and need some one off jobs com­pleted for a very rea­son­able rate you def­i­nitely want to con­sider using a work from home work­force like I do.

It’s smart, it’s easy, it’s sim­ple and it’s effec­tive. Good luck with Short Task!
