Technology has made it possible for the East and West to work together even without leaving their own time zone. More and more foreigners are reaching quality Filipino workers to work for them at reasonable prices. So better opportunities are opening each day for Filipinos giving them the chance to work for foreign employers without having to leave their loved ones (like many overseas Filipino Workers or OFW’s).

But recently, I see many ads looking for Filipino workers who are efficient, reliable, and who will remain loyal to their employers. It made me realized that some workers do accept a job only to quit later on. What could be some of the possible reasons behind this? As a freelance writer, I’ve dealt with many different clients and writers already, and here are some of the things I learned that hopefully would help foreign clients when they work with Filipinos.

SEO has proven to be the most cost effective way to increase traffic to a site, which was illustrated by a 2009 Marketing Sherpa study that showed an ROI of nearly 70 percent. Until recently, small businesses struggled with finding effective ways to increase site traffic due to a lack of resources. The investment of SEO consultants or enterprise software could not be justified with these high expenses.

As a business owner, it matters not whether you hire online or offline there are certain traits/qualities that should always be considered before you hire your skilled worker. These can include…but are not exclusive to…
Intelligence: You want a creative thinker and problem solver
Integrity/honesty: These two go hand in hand.
Curiosity: Someone with a thirst to know and understand
Complimentary skills: Eliminate individual effort by hiring complimentary skill sets.
Enthusiasm: Enthusiasm breeds enthusiasm…it is contagious…need I say more?

Do you own a small online business or perhaps have just started a website and want to propel it to the top ranks at search engines? This is of course the aim of every website owner – to have their site appear on the top of the search results for the keyword(s) they chose for their niche. The process of pushing your website to the top is called SEO (Search Engine Optimization).

However, not everyone who owns a website knows how to rank high at search engines.  To do that requires the knowledge and skills in SEO and more importantly, time.  You are lucky if you have both. But if you’re not a professional SEO and don’t have the time to learn the skills to become one, there’s a service called DIYSEO that might be useful to you.

DIYSEO is a service that seeks to help everyone who needs SEO but doesn’t have the budget to hire a professional agency, which can easily cost upwards of $1,000 per month. [...] Continue reading

The process of outsourcing has become very popular over the past few years.  A lot of people find that they have too much work going on at the same time and would like to free up their time to do more substantial things.  Some even outsource their entire work process and find that they are still earning while they are on vacation, playing golf, or doing things other than working.  Some even find that they started to earn more when they started to outsource as opposed to when they were doing all the work themselves.  Wouldn’t you want to do the same?

However, for some, they don’t know where to start.  You may have heard of outsourcing, are very interested in outsourcing, could potentially benefit from outsourcing, but don’t exactly know what to outsource.

If you find yourself wondering what to outsource, read on to find a list of things that you can easily delegate to an online freelancer.

Have you hired a Filipino contractor, assigned them a task, wait a few days for them to complete the task, wait a few more days, email them asking how they’re doing, with no response from them, and never hear from them again?

This scenario is very familiar and most definitely annoying, if you are subject to such behavior from a hired worker.  I am a Filipino online worker myself and am highly against this disappearing act from my fellow freelancers.  But oddly enough, this is commonplace and happens to even the best of them, so don’t take it personally.

Let’s discuss this eccentric behavior and try to solve the mystery of the disappearing freelancer.  First, let’s discuss common Filipino traits that are mostly the reason behind such disappearances:

• Most Filipinos are, by nature, non-confrontational. If faced with a situation where they are required to speak their minds out, they’d rather suck it up, keep their mouth shut, and just walk out on you and deal with their frustration on
