An Outsourcing Resource You Probably Never Heard About Posted: 21 Feb 2011 10:06 PM PST Suppose I told you I had one guy willing to work full time for you, so 40 hours per week, and that he had a good knowledge about SEO, Internet marketing and web design. What kind of salary do you think you would need to pay him? $1,000? $1,500? What if told you the salary he was asking for was $300? Sounds crazy, but it’s true. I am talking about hiring people from the Philippines. There are plenty of recent graduates there who want to work from home over the Internet, and $300 (converted to the local currency) is considered a decent monthly salary. Another advantage is that most Filipinos speak English almost fluently, and they are quite savvy when it comes to the Internet and new technologies. At this point you might be thinking: “OK, sounds intriguing, but where can I find those workers?” That is the resource I mentioned in the title of this post. It’s a website called OnlineJobs.ph, where you can find hundreds of Filipinos looking for online work. You’ll even find the skills they have, the monthly salary they are asking and how many hours per week they are willing to work. You can browse the marketplace without paying anything, but if you want to see the contact details (e.g., email address) of the workers you’ll need to pay $40 for one month of access. Before you go ahead on a hiring spree, though, here is a remark: you’ll need to spend some time researching and testing the candidates. I have had both good and bad experiences hiring people from that site in the past. Sometimes the person worked as promised and delivered good results, but there were other times when I swear the other person was working 5 instead of 40 hours per week, and I couldn’t do anything about it except terminate the deal after the first month was up. Still, I think it’s a valid resource if you are looking to outsource some parts of your online business. What about you guys, what resources or websites do you use to outsource or find remote workers/collaborators? Original Post: An Outsourcing Resource You Probably Never Heard About
