What is Crowdsourcing?
Crowdsourcing is a term formed from the words ‘crowd’ and ‘outsourcing’. Crowdsourcing can simply be said to be the process of getting work done (usually online) from a crowd of people. The idea is to take work and outsource it to a crowd of workers.
The idea of Crowdsourcing is a brilliant one as it is often said that two heads are better than one. By canvassing a large crowd of people for ideas and skills, the quality of work done is always superior. This idea has brought about a new concept called ‘Crowdsource Design’.
Crowdsource Design:
Crowdsource design is a concept that allows you to tell a crowd of designers to do a job at a given price and time frame, and on deadline you pick your favorite design and pay the designer. So you can simply ask for a logo to be designed for your site at the cost of a certain price and time frame, then the designers will get to work and when they are done you will have a chance to review all the designs, then pick the one you like most and the designer gets paid.
This process ensures good quality at cheap prices compared to online freelancing. You can use this method for logo, web page, business card, mobile app, banner ad, book cover designs and even WordPress themes and Plugins etc. In fact anything that can be designed can be Crowdsource.
Crowdsourcing’s benefit is the ability to receive quality results since several people will contest in the offer and will apply their best skills and ideas in doing your job at very cheap price. So today I want to introduce you to some creative websites for Crowdsourcing your logo and website design jobs.

I do not like this term since it has double meaning. They make it seems like it is a positive term, yet the monopolist have used to to enslave people further by manipulating their minds.
How? All they have to do is get the work done out of you – “cheaper” than what they would have had to pay people in their domestic market.
All they have to do is sit on their “asses” and just get the cheapest labour from either Odesk, freelancer and other such “outsourcing platforms and reap the fruits of another man’s labour.
There have been many instances where certain professionals had been outsourcing their own development work in China, and the guy was taking full salary from his company.
If there are people ready to work for then, they they are only killing themselves in the long run. They think it is a positive option but it is only a short term gain.
