There are some cultural differences that exist in the Philippines that
don’t exist together anywhere else in the world. This is one of the
biggest reasons why outsourcing to the Philippines works so much
better than anywhere else.

The Philippines is VERY different than India. You don’t need to
micro-manage people. You don’t need to look at every single thing
they’re doing. Let them do their work and don’t worry about it. Get
their work out of your head and concentrate on the things that are
most important in your business.

It’s important that you know multiple ways of paying your people.
Sometimes one will stop working.

Ways to pay your people
xoom.com
emoneygram.com
paypal.com
remithome.com

Update
Currently the cheapest way to pay is using paypal.com directly to your people. Use Mass Pay (you have to upgrade your paypal account, which is free) and they only charge you $1.
Another option for people in Australia is OrbitRemit.com. I haven’t used it personally, so I can’t vouch for it, but it looks like a good option.
