    I have outsourced content writing to the Philippines in the past, and had great results. I'm sure a lot would depend on the company or individual that you're dealing with though.

    No, never tried it and probably never will. I like writing my own content for clients, so that I know they are getting what they paid for.

    Hi,

    I have few writers from Philippine working for me.

    They are good..and much better than writers from India (which i hired).

    Not only their English is good, but their personality and behaviour also great.

    Thanks.

    Filipinos are pretty good, though from experience I see that they lose interest easily and then they have problems delivering on time.

    I believe that the best work come from USA, however if you need to save money but sacrifice quality then i guess you can look to India....for programming, or Russian but they are not as cheap. I only use coders in the States who are English Speaking!

    I have outsourced thousands of $$$ worth of work and also to Phillipines but their quality was very bad and then I returned to hire VA from India and they were very professional for very reasonable price.

    Im a Filipino and every Job you want to have great result only goes well if you find the right person for it. Whatever the race for that manner. But Yeah, you wont have problems regarding English language as most of filipinos are very proficient.. Sometimes its mainly the primary language used more than the local language.

    What are the specifics that you need, Mike?

    I am from the Philippines and I could help you look for a web designer (or I can do the work for you).

    How many web designers do you need?

    Filipinos are great workers I can assure you that. We have been handling different clients mostly USA and they are satisfied with our job. Most of our clients are still with us for almost 2 years now.

    I have hired people from all over. I don't think the country matters as much as the individual. That said, I have had very good luck outsourcing to India

    One of my best guys actually looked up my domain registration and tracked me down when I posted on Elance. You can bet I hired him and he was great
