Awesome interview. What an eye opener. I just barely started IM (3 months or so ago) and as fun as it is – it really takes time to learn each useful skill. The interview really got me thinking: do I really need to become an expert on everything that has to do with IM?

Thanks for the awesome tips!

Funny – I remember listening to this a few months ago. Indeed I have since found this advice to be very useful – I now have two VA working for me even though I fell flat on my face before with VAs from GetFriday (India).

Hey guys, Great podcast even if your outsource guru comes across as Mr Angry at times :)I have tried a few and I have to say, he is right that the best work I have had done for me has come from the Philippines because previously I have had terrible, I mean really terrible experiences with freelance sites and freelancers from India so this podcast was a great source of info. Cheers!

I love this podcast and what John Jonas said about outsourcing to the subcontinent hit the nail on the head. I don’t know how much time, energy & frustration I have experienced outsourcing to India and Pakistan.

From botched campaigns to mystery code injected into my website. I only just discovered outsourcing to the Philippines. I will take your advice and work only with Philippine contractors from now on. Thanks for validating my decision!

Do you have any updates on how it all worked with VAs from the Philippines?

I think the days of outsourcing are numbered. I have used South African outsourcing companies with no benefit over those in India. By the time you take out the increased effort it seldom makes sense.

I would NEVER use India again. I did and had a bad experience, then I talked to all my IM friends and they all warned against India based on social norms there. Like, they are taught to say “YES” to every question of skill you give them regardless of if they can do the skill.

I use Filipinos with great outcomes, but it does take a while to find a really good VA.

Is outsourcing on the way out? No way, it is only going to increase in value as time goes by unless the US economy tanks enough to where I can get a US based programmer for 5 bucks an hour instead of 80 bucks an hour…
