Partnering With A Virtual Assistant
Have you had a chance to check out my guest post on Freelance Parent yet? It went up last week and it’s especially helpful if you are considering hiring/partnering with a virtual assistant sometime soon.
I posted the link on Twitter shortly after the post was published and wanted to note some helpful info that was pointed out to me, courtesy of @Carol_DA (Carol D’Annunzio). For example, you don’t really “hire” a virtual assistant, so much as partner with one or contract one, as virtual assistants are of course independent business owners. I do realize this but sometimes I just explain it later in a post, rather than putting it right into the title! Also Carol points out that most VA’s she knows charge a minimum of $35 per hour. I have known many who charge somewhat less, but I do feel that it is more than fair for a good virtual assistant to charge $35 to $50 per hour. It’s hard to value yourself high sometimes, especially in a poor economy, but that doesn’t change the fact that an experienced virtual assistant is worth her weight in gold (or chocolate, lol!)
I hope if you are planning a partnership with a virtual assistant that you will have a look at my post, and if you have any questions or concerns please do get in touch with me!! And while you are there, read some of the other wonderful posts at Freelance Parent – I truly love their work and they have great tips for people working to grow a freelance/consultant type of business.
