Setting Virtual Assistant Rates

Jump to Comments

After recently posting to Home Office Warrior regarding why I don’t underbid my current rates to gain clients on freelancing sites, I came across an excellent post on The Gritty Virtual Assistant entitled ” Hello, please take advantage of me”. The subject of this one concerned new virtual assistants who advertise their rates as far lower than the average.  I think you’ll find great points in both posts as to why you shouldn’t undercut pricing.  What do you think?

  • Both of those posts are excellent and I appreciate that you’ve incorporated them into one terrific post! Thank you for standing up for the Virtual Assistant industry.

  • Really great stuff. Podcast was just the way it needs to be… No fluff.. no rock n’ roll intro’s. Just solid content. Keep it REAL.

  • I’m just starting my business. I’m a virtual assistant, with a background in administration and business writing. I agree that you shouldn’t undervalue your services, and I definitely think you should work to build a collaborative relationship with your clients. But, right now, the economy is not so great, and I’m trying to just get clients in the door, so that I can prove my worth. There has to be a happy medium in there somewhere. What do you think?
