Outsourcing To the Philippines
Fire Your Boss
You've probably had some experience with outsourcing even if you're not an Internet marketer. Most of us have spent time in customer service hell at some point.
Maybe you wanted to clarify a charge on your account or change your level of service and suddenly you were having a conversation with someone speaking broken English who refused to put the script down and help you with your problem.
This type of experience has become so common that it has made people roll their eyes toward heaven at the mere mention of the term outsourcing.
But what if what you experienced as outsourcing was just bad customer service and true outsourcing was available that could energize the vision you originally had for your Internet business?

What You Think You Know Is Killing Your Business
Most cyberpreneurs think of outsourcing as hiring someone from Elance to do a project they don't have time or skill to complete, and while this is a form of outsourcing, it is not using outsourcing to its greatest capacity.

Entrepreneur's Mindset
Big Trends In Small Business
The Philippines has a large number of educated, technologically savvy, English-proficient people. In addition, the Philippines has strong ties with the U.S., and the Philippine government has taken steps to actively promote their country as an attractive outsourcing option.
The Philippines is ranked 3rd in the world in terms of outsourcing, behind India and China. More importantly, the government realizes the value of outsourcing to the country's economy and actively supports the outsourcing industry by giving grants to college students.
If you're a solo entrepreneur who has never outsourced, divide tasks into projects (file my taxes) and processes (manage my PPC account), then outsource the one that gives you the most headaches.

How To Get Rich
Outsourcing Takeaways
- Examine the simpler time-consuming tasks of your business. Send portions to providers who can do it for less.
- As you become more confident in your provider, expand the relationship to more complex tasks.
- Identify your weaknesses and consider outsourcing tasks related to those.
- Consider the tasks 'only you' can do may be better done by someone else.
- Remember, you get more value from a virtual employee on your monthly payroll, than a freelance vendor you use once.
