You pay them more.

Not entirely helpful, but I'll bite.

I'm more than willing to pay higher than "standard" rates, I just can't afford to do so here. The numbers I hard from the Philippines, for instance, meant that I could pay a yearly salary of between $5000 and $10000 (USD) and that would be an amazing wage (I haven't verified that, however).

The issue is not necessarily how MUCH to pay, but how to find the developers in a place I can afford to begin with.
