I have cheap employees, how do I make $$?

Oops... sorry I think I might've logged in a different username or something and I forgot about this thread. These are Filipinos, I'm a filipino myself but a US Citizen. Where the average daily income in the provinces are 200 pesos ($4/day), they are so happy to make $6 to $8 per day. I plan on going back in June and hopefully having work for them.
This is a legitimate business opportunity.
What worked so far:
1. Surveys... I've actually gotten to train a few of them to do just surveys. I pay two of them $16, they make me up to $80 a day.
2. Call Center - I found a guy who runs a database website. He offered 25 cents per call to find out info on landing and parking prices different classes of airplanes on the 2500+ airports there are in the U.S. Every 100 calls was an extra $10. I initially started with 3 and within a month I grew to 14. I bought and used Google Voice accounts to make free calls to the U.S. I made a script that made a four minute phone call into a 20 second phone call. Then I stopped making phone calls altogether and just count their phone calls and pay them out every day (I paid them 12 cents per call). And our top week I was making $800 per week after paying their salary. Not bad for 10 minutes of work per day for me.
Sadly, that client had to stop for financial reasons (net loss?), I think he burnt through his 50k funding.

Yup, like I said a post before... Philippines.
I wish I could collaborate with someone and put my people to work. These are educated. I even have 8 teachers that are homebased. But I definitely want to start an office, I'm building up my laptop count over there.
I can do it with mturk, if I watch it for 8 hours, I can do $60 to $70 myself. Granted, they are a little bit slower, but imagine have 2 people watching it over 24 hours.
And yes, I know that using a US account internationally is against their TOS, but I've seen some researchers use location verification and deny me from completing their survey.
