Rates for VA work differ based on experience, task type, and the client's location. In our materials we give examples and practical points to consider, such as your skills, available hours, and tools you use. We do not set your rate, but we help you think realistically about your pricing and the value you offer clients locally and internationally.

Many starting VAs come from administration, customer service, marketing, or social media backgrounds. You need basic computer skills, reliable internet access, and clear communication in English.

This gives you a clear sense of how the VA works before committing to a longer collaboration.
