I’m looking to outsource my agencies Google and Linkedin ad campaigns. Does anyone have any freelancer recommendations that they’ve worked with?
Here are the basics:
​
* Compensation for this position is $20/hour
* We estimate about 10 hours a week currently
* B2B focused
* A little under $10k in ad spend a month across 3 clients
* Required to work USA working hours.
* Must be proficient in reporting and setting up tracking pixels
* Must speak English fluentlyThe agency is growing and this is a smaller slice of our client roster. We’d want to make sure the freelancer can handle these clients before moving them up to the bigger budget clients. Compensation would then grow accordingly and in proportion to ad spend. The freelancer would not be responsible for strategy, but their insights and opinions are welcomed and will be taken into consideration.

Would seriously recommend taking a second look at your hourly compensation if you’re looking to find a proficient freelancer. Speaking from personal experience – even when doing similar freelance tasks for agencies (i.e., being given tasks to complete vs. being responsible for strategy) I never billed less than $50/hr and that was years ago.

We are outside the US and I pay more for my staff than that. If you find someone decent on that rate, please share it with me 🙂

Your hourly rate is well below what people make in our [salary survey](https://www.reddit.com/r/PPC/comments/11xi72k/ppc_salary_survey_2023_final_report/)… let alone freelancers and contractors.

$1,000/mo for 10 hours of work a week freelancing is probably not going to get you anyone competent. Rule of thumb is generally to charge twice for consulting/freelancing hourly as someone would at a regular job at their experience level. If someone is charging less than $50/hr for hourly work I’d question their experience honestly.

Field: PPC
Competence: Not incompetent.

Good agencies charge $150-300 AUD hourly rates over here in Aus. Clients stay because the output is printing them money and we’re a nominal slice.

You’re wanting contract work for $20 an hour. That means absorbing insurance, taxes and workers comp in that $20 an hour and managing 3 different clients while working to scale their spend for the same pay???
If you find this “person” please share.

Quit my $20/hr job at mcdonalds with benefits and food for this opportunity, a solid pass.

I’m from South Africa and can successfully charge your 20$ an hour.
Been in this industry for 5 years, I can charge this rate as cost of living In my country isn’t as expensive as my international competitors.
I can report in English as this is my home language and my native language. I am extremely comfortable in setting up pixels and tracking. And excited about not having to do the strategy as implementation is my strong point. I am happy to not be client facing.
Will to work US hours and willing to do the best for your Campaigns and clients.

Cannot take bc i am full, and cannot recommend but I have only anti-recommendation:
**do not take anything from India/pakistan/africa** or anything what is placed east or south than EUIndia/pakistan/africa – are Your ‘no-go zones’. If freelancer manages to move to EU (or live as digital nomad for example in philipines they are ok).

At $20/hr, you’re going to be hiring someone overseas or a US-based intern. I’m not saying hiring overseas is necessarily bad, but you’re likely going to get a large pool of candidates and it’ll be hard to judge quality before they start. I’m curious what your margins are going to be on this person. Is it worth the risk to your agency’s reputation? Will you spend more of your own time overseeing their work to make sure it’s done right?
Someone I met years ago at a PPC conference owns a company that has a team of PPC specialists in the Philippines. They don’t do strategy, just execution. I’ve never used them, and I’m not sure what he charges these days, but check them out here: [https://gruntworkers.com/](https://gruntworkers.com/)
The lowest cost US-based PPC freelancer that I know is $75/hr. I send him small jobs that I pass on due to my rate (I charge monthly retainers, not hourly, but am roughly $250-$300/hr). I’d say he’s somewhat average in terms of abilities. Most of my colleagues that I partner with are minimum $150/hr with 8-10 years experience.
