Why Hire Online Filipino Workers?

This is a sticky post. For newest entries, see the next post.

Would it be worth it to hire online freelance workers from the Philippines? Even Google and Yahoo does not encourage telecommuting anymore. Why should I if the gurus have tested it and seen it does not work?

My observation all these years is: Not all people with an internet connection can work at home. However, there is a very small percent of people who DO thrive, perform well and even enjoy working for you, regardless of physical location.

Wow! Quick Paypal Withdrawal in the Philippines

Of course, 1 of the most crucial aspects of online work is how to get paid.  Your clients may be anywhere in the world, so you must make sure payments to you are quick and pain-free.

I most prefer Xoom for my payments so I don't know much about Paypal.

All I know about Paypal is that 2 years ago, I had a headache having my account verified.  When I did try to withdraw funds it took me, I think, 4 or 5 days for the money to appear in my account.  My contractor, a very considerate person, knew this was not the best way to go, so we agreed to have payments sent through Xoom.  (More on Xoom in a later article, I suppose.)

Yesterday, I chose the "withdraw to bank" option, landing the funds through China Bank  This morning, I took a peek (even if I didn't really believe the funds would be there) and the status for bank transfer was pending.  But this noon, the transaction was already completed.

I'm guessing credit goes to the bank for this relatively quick affair.

China Bank, you are so lovable for online Filipino workers. As they click in Facebook, "Like eht!"
