Employees - I really need help and opinions

[RawAlex]

Simple rule of adult business: The perfect employee is very likely working for himself and making more than you can afford to pay them.

If you are trying to hire too good of an employee (one with real webmastering talent) you will likely be disappointed because the good ones won't work for what you will pay. Outsourcing your work should be all the repeating and crap work that you don't want to do, and jobs that can be easily defined, tracked, and monitored - especially because you are dealing with remote employees. If you are looking for someone to be creative, to come up with new ideas, etc... you will have a hard time finding them.

If you aim too high, you will miss the available work pool by a mile.

i find it even very hard to find out someone good through outsourcing. I have currently one Philipino from one big outsourcing company and he is sometimes with his tasks really slow. What he is doing three days, i can have in one day done by myself. And yes, they are controlled by supervisior, if they arent playing games, surfing internet etc. and if they work.
