[00:27] Today’s Topic: Should You Work with an Agency or Hire Freelancers?
[00:36] Establish a goal.
[01:15] Freelancers are great if you have a lot of time to manage people; plus it’s more cost-effective.
[01:46] Agencies tend to move faster than the companies that hire them; hire them if you need someone to push you.

[03:38] You can use tools like Hubstaff to manage your freelancers (it takes screenshots and helps to track their time).
[04:15] Before you hire anyone, be sure to ask what they are going to do for your business.
[05:00] Check agencies’ and freelancers’ past work, experiences, and ratings.
