An expert who already knows what to do.
Someone you are going to train - in your methodology.

One-time setup (outsource this when it will take you hours and hours to learn something you'll only have to do once).
Repetitive projects (this can be the best place to outsource).

Set up SOPs (Standard Operating Procedures) to document your process and hand off to your helpers.

Be sure to check out the legal rules, payroll taxes and rules for hiring contractors.
