Almost every niche addict I know has the same goal in mind. Create an empire of niche sites to replace your day-job income. Maybe you want to create passive income so that you can travel the world like Tim Ferris lays out in the Four Hour Work Week.
What if I told you that you could hire capable virtual assistants for $2-4 USD/HR or have articles written for as little as $8/1000 words?
It is easier than you may think, keep reading and I’ll give you my secrets to hiring Filipino VA’s thru
What is Holding Back Your Success?
If I asked you “what is holding you back?”, I bet most of you would say “if I just had enough time”.
That’s exactly what I said as well.
Listen, I probably have 10x more ideas for my niche sites than I have time to implement myself. My Trello list called “Idea Backlog” could keep me busy for over a year.
I realized that if I ever want my portfolio of sites to grow to “income replacement” levels, then I needed to clone myself. Like, 10x more of me.
You see, I am the bottleneck in my own empire. I know what strategies and tasks need to get done to improve rankings and revenue. I just can’t do it all myself!
I listed out the tasks that I enjoy and those that I don’t. Here they were:
Tasks I Enjoy
- Brainstorming ideas for new sites
- Long
keyword research sessions withKWFinder - Setting up new sites and developing the look and feel
- Developing
link building campaigns
Tasks I Don’t Enjoy
- Writing about subjects I’m not passionate about
- Formatting posts and finding pictures
Link building outreach & execution
“I did everything myself as a beginner until I could afford to outsource it or until I had too much to do and not enough time”
What Tasks Can You Outsource and When?
If you are trying to create passive income, then you need to outsource by definition. However, if you are bootstrapping your first site, then I suggest you perform all the work yourself.
Once your portfolio is growing, you must remove yourself as the bottleneck.
Here is a list of tasks that easily can be outsourced to a virtual assistant:
- Content writing
- Formatting and Publishing Blog Posts
- Optimize on-page SEO using RankMath
- Review your sites for internal linking opportunities
- Add affiliate links to your posts
- Research new affiliate product opportunities
- Do competitor research
- Link-building outreach campaigns
- Create Pinterest pins using Canva
- Manage and promote your Pinterest presence
- Create and manage social media profiles
This is only an example list, you will find all sorts of ideas for your VA to perform.
What is OnlineJobs .ph?
It was founded by John Jonas back in 2008 after he discovered how talented and affordable Filipino VA’s can be.
Filipino culture is very conducive to creating valuable employees. English is widely spoken and Filipinos generally have a good understanding of western culture. They are also fiercely loyal.
I know that when I hire a VA, the last thing I want to do is constantly edit their English, or replace them when they quit.
I’ve hired lots of VA’s, on various platforms, but I keep coming back to

OnlineJobs .ph vs. Upwork – Similarities

OnlineJobs .ph vs. Upwork – Differences
OnlineJobs .ph specializes on workers from the Philippines where Upwork is more global- Upwork is a “middle man”, they take a percent cut from the freelancer

OnlineJobs .ph – My Personal Experience

How Does OnlineJobs .ph work?
The biggest difference between
On most other platforms, the transaction is all handled within the confines of the website. This also means that they take a hefty cut of the price.
Did you know that marketplace sites like Upwork and Freelancer take up to 20% from the worker?
This system leads to artificially higher prices and is why the direct hire concept is much better.
