If you are considering a virtual assistant for your business, but you aren’t sure about the cost…consider this. The modern virtual assistant is a master at many different fields, not just one. They are a business owner...not another secretary.
So think savvy (definition: well informed and perceptive)…my company offers business services that incorporate many different types of savvy such as;
-Business Savvy
-Internet Savvy
-Design Savvy
-Organization Savvy
-Social Media Savvy
-Coordination Savvy
-Web Design Savvy
Can you imagine they expense your business would incur to bring someone from each of these industries into your company? Consider that the salaries for these professions range from $35,000-$120,000 each. Sure, you can go on-line and “outsource” some work to someone charging $4 an hour…or maybe even $15. Can you ensure you are getting a professional? How much time are you going to have to spend correcting their work?
The most important question you can ask before hiring a virtual assistant is, “How Much is It Worth to You”? If you normally make anywhere from $125 to $200 an hour for your services, and you spend an hour or more a day doing tasks that don’t bring in money…you just paid $125-$200 an hour. So why not pay a virtual professional much less to do that work?
The ideal Virtual Assistant will cost between $30-$55 an hour, depending on the services you need. On top of that, you don’t have to worry about office equipment, training, insurance, benefits…all of the added expenses that businesses incur with a traditional “in office” assistant. Most Virtual Assistants will average around $1400 a month for around 40 hours of work. That’s $16,800 per year! The savings and overall value truly adds up!
Many people hear the term Virtual Assistant and automatically think…it’s a secretary. That’s actually not correct, although the title includes “assistant”…think of us as your business partners. Someone you can run your ideas by, and create realities out of those ideas. Someone working on YOUR TEAM to help your business thrive.
Spend your time doing what makes you money, and we will help you with the other stuff! Busy business owners like you will fully enjoy the benefits of having a strong team behind you. Virtual Assistants can be that team!

The power of the internet is such that even those tasks that were previously thought to be impossible to complete from home can now be completed through the use of a computer. One such job is a virtual assistant. Whereas most people would like to have assistants for their businesses, not everyone can afford one. This is where virtual assistants come into play as they can be hired for almost half the money on a full time, on the job, assistants. Virtual assistants can earn up to $20 per hour and earn a substantial income if they have a liking for working at home.
