Basecamp Review for Internet Marketers That Outsource to Freelancers

By Fernando Haack


Beginner internet marketers will enjoy Basecamp for the convenience it affords. The simple interface will impress even the most picky marketer. It is generally easy to use, with no bulky downloads. Here is a short review of what Basecamp is all about.

On Basecamp, you will be allowed to create a space for you and your projects. This system is unique because it is very user-friendly. Do you use a laptop and you don't have enough space for another program to install? Basecamp won't require this. You can open and manage your account on your browser.

There's a very simple way to start. If you have a lot of websites, you might want to devote one project for each. Each project can be accessed using a different tab so it's not a jumble of tasks of projects that you have to sort out . Set up main tasks and the personnel in charge. Your employees can report on Basecamp as soon as you give them their login IDs.

Some business owners assign different people for different tasks. The hierarchy for the tasks are clearly delineated on the system. Delegation of authority is effortless. You know who is in charge. You can follow which freelancer is responsible for which task.

It's not difficult to delegate if you have a system like this in place. Changes can also be done instantly. If a programmer quits, you can rearrange the hierarchy. You can post a message about the change or send a message to each member of the team. Changes can be made directly and without delay.

Simply put, this system allows you to multi-task. There is also a way to check who has not been sending updates. Message boards and white boards are separate so that you can talk on various levels, with everyone. Personal issues can be kept on message boards, while white boards can be used for project-related things only.

The site is lightning fast, which is crucial when you have to upload a lot of things. These files can be resources that you want everyone to learn. Your employees can also upload the finished drafts for review. As long as the project is active, you can keep the files. You can also use the system to send direct emails to non-responsive team members.
