freelance arbitrage

Here's an idea. Perhaps an idea with a lot of initial overhead. You create an account on some freelancer website. Fiverr is free, but it's harder to get work. Freelancer.com or upwork, you signup as a freelancer, then you bid on high paying jobs $500+ . you win, then you find someone on fiverr, or elsewhere, to do it for cheaper. You run multiple projects in the same time to guarantee a steady stream of payments. Only accept serious clients who agree to milestones, and only subcontract out to people with great ratings.

What does everyone think?

I think people do that all the time, especially with content and SEO.

There are a ton of sellers who don't know shit about what they're selling. They just outsource it - doing exactly what you wrote in your OP.

It's not exactly a new idea. It does work though.

And expect bad review for low quality work
