Interesting About to hire my first full time employee -- What to keep in mind?

Guys! I am about to place my first classified ad for a Full Time "Data Entry" employee to do the grunt work of Internet Marketing [submissions etc.] and Manually Updating the Sites.

Since I am located in India so I can hire full time employees at virtually no cost. The average pay of a data entry guy is about $75 a month but I am offering $100 a month plus incentives -- incentives are something not really heard for this job profile in India -- so I really should be able to attract better variety of people.

But the question which I have for ya all is -- What should I keep in Mind When I hire my first full time employee?

I have made a small list below, can you add more to it from your own experiences?

List of Things I should keep in mind (With italics as what I am thinking about the thing -- again, suggestions requested) --

1. What I am looking for in Terms of Personality? The person should be willing to LEARN new things and adapt to a rapidly changing environment.

2. What are "key incentives"? Financial Rewards for achieving targets, opportunity to experience how to work with international team and an opportunity for growth.

3. Experience of the Employee. Not too anal about experience but should be inquisitive and willing to adapt. I dunno I usually get a feeling about the person the moment I talk to him or her and I follow my gut instinct. But, Experience in a similar position is preferable but not necessary.

4. What kind of training will I provide? I will not be providing any formal training per-say but sure would have to give instructions personally about how to do things exactly but see point #1.
Any more tips?
