Personal chores outsourcing services

In today's world where multitasking has became a way of life, there are certainly times during the day when some people wish they had more time to accomplish more things or just have someone do it for them. But unless you are among the wealthy types, such possibilities seem like way out of reach. Fortunately, the same Internet that gave us the opportunities to do more and more things with the help of a keyboard to the point of feeling overwhelmed, provide us also with the chance to have many of those tasks delegated for a fee. In a sense, that's outsourcing at a personal level and because of the Internet, such endeavour is economically feasible.
Today, there are a variety of entrepreneurs that offer such services at an affordable price. Most of these services are based abroad, specially India and some of them have their headquarters based here in the U.S. while their operatives stay abroad. The Wall Street Journal tested a few of them that according to the journal, "cater to personal requests like making customer-service calls or researching vacation details, or anything else that doesn't need to be handled in person." These services play a role like of personal assistants and charge fees that can be one time or monthly. People wanting to use these services need to do their homework to make sure that they are dealing with trustworthy operations for whom people data safety is a must.
Fortunately the Wall Street Journal has done some of that leg work and the article can be consulted at the link beneath.
