Comment on Pricing by Holly

I was just researching VA pricing and came across this page, so I thought I’d add my perspective as a potential client. Many freelance professionals (including VAs) *do* place their fees on their website, so I would tend not to trust someone who doesn’t. Graphic designers post their prices, as do photographers, translators, etc.

Today, I ran a search on VAs, compared several sites, and kept only the sites where fees where posted. I deleted the pages that did not share pricing. If I’m running short on time and need a VA, then why am I going to waste time on an email, or worse, a phone call?

This is not because I’m looking for the cheapest deal, on the contrary. I judge freelance workers first by the quality of their website and also by how much they charge: I wouldn’t go with someone who undervalued their services by charging a low hourly rate.

Hope this helps!
