Are you stuck on creating service packages for your Virtual Assistant business? You’re not alone. It’s one of the questions I get asked most often – how to create service packages. Virtual assistants know that when we charge clients for a package of services, we all benefit. Trading hours for dollars is not a bad business model, but there are downfalls to it.

Because it is based solely on your time, and you only have so much time, you hit an earnings ceiling, and sometimes that happens very quickly. Or, if you choose to work 60 to 80 hour weeks to earn more money… Read More »How to Build a Virtual Assistant Service Package

Do you like vacuuming? I can’t stand it. I tend to do it quickly to get it overwith so it makes me all hot and sweaty. Just probably my least favourite household chore. I do a decent job but I often take shortcuts because I just dislike it that much. I also don’t like ironing, but I’m good at it so there’s that. I tend to iron as we need things though, instead of doing it all at once like my Mom used to do. I do like dusting. I have this amazing furniture polish from Melaleuca that I really like. It smells great and it really does a beautiful job. And I quite enjoy doing the laundry. I get into… Read More »Make a Decision Now – What Do You Want to Do?

Are You Still Charging by the Hour as a Virtual Assistant?

When you started your Virtual Assistant business, it was probably easy to charge your clients by the hour. But in order for your business to grow and be successful, the ‘trading time for money’ model quickly falls short. Why? For one thing, there are only so many hours in a day/week, so you can quickly max out the amount of money you can make in your business. For another thing, it’s much harder to raise your rates with your current clients. And that means if you get so busy that you need to bring on subcontractors to help, you may not be able to earn enough to keep your business successful. These are just two simple reasons why charging by… Read More »Are You Still Charging by the Hour as a Virtual Assistant?
