Hi lovelies,
In this blog post, I’ll be answering a series of Virtual Assistant questions. See below!
How much does it cost to hire a virtual assistant from Upwork or Fiverr for one month?
The cost to hire a virtual assistant from Upwork or Fiverr for one month varies. Virtual Assistants in the United States can cost anywhere from $50/hr to $125/hr.
As someone that’s doing the hiring, you can create an RFP (Request for Proposal) and determine your budget on a platform like Upwork. Using the project feature you set the rate and people submit proposals, some will be for your budget, some less, and some more. From there you can choose which virtual assistant you’d like to work with.
How did you start your career as a virtual assistant?
I started my career as a virtual assistant at 19 years old. I was in University at the time and looking to make some extra coin. I also wanted to learn more about small businesses. So I decided to do some research into virtual assistance and dive right in. I didn’t have a clue as to what I was doing. But I was motivated and passionate so everything came together for me.
I placed my first gig on Fiverr for Facebook Group Management. Despite Phone Anxiety and not knowing WTF I was doing I landed a client pretty quickly. This client was a coach in the health & wellness space.
Soon after working with this coach, I became the Head of Operations for their company. I was still a contractor, just with a fun job title. The scope expanded from Facebook group management to administrative, marketing, customer service, and more.
