You are so welcome!
This is my first time watching a video from you, and I really learnt a thing or two; especially that of changing the approach... Thank you so much... 🎉
I LOVE YOUR CONTENT! Please keep doing it, thank you so much!
I was sleepy and full of fatigue. Until I came across this video. I am looking for something like this to do. I have been thinking about what needs to be part of me as I drastically change in different dimensions in this season of my life. I am tired of frequently being disappointed as a sales representative which caused me to benefit nothing but sacrificing my resources for employers without any benefits.
Hi, Erin Thank you so much for the course. I am really considering becoming a virtual assistant. I love how you presented the realities of becoming Virtual assistant.
I was part of the 1st cohort of this course 😍, great as all your content. Thank you dear. Big hug. Bea
This has been most helpful. Thank you so much Erin. I suscribed and liked. I will surely buy the course as soon as i can afford it.
Thank you so much for this free content and information you are adding so much value to everyone who watched this lives so thank you for that ❤
I have to say, I loved the video, but what I loved the most were here Eyes. Anyway, every piece of information that she gave us here is very important, so we can find ourselves a niche, and even more important, so we can rate ourselves in a better way. I've seen some companies offering a 35$/hr, and I think it is the Best rate because of all the work that you have to do for them.
This is a wealth of information. Thank you!
Thanks, Erin. This is indeed informative.
very helpfull video thank you now look for you and start this VA

Question: What does salary look like when you have multiple clients that are paying you by the hour? Are you charging them for your availability and then doing tasks for everyone in that same hour? Or are you working for each separately by the hour and therefore only getting paid for max 40 hours a week?
@ErinBooth
8 ай бұрын
You charge each client for the tasks that you do for them. You don’t have to max out at 40 hours… you could 100 hours per week if you wanted to. There’s no limit on how much you work.
@YitzyRohatiner
8 ай бұрын
but for example if you only work 40 hours a week but take on a few clients and charge them by the hour. You're bound to be working for some of them in the same hour correct? My real question: Is the only way to scale your business with more clients by a. working more hours or b. taking monthly flat rates? Or is the standard to estimate how many hours they need and if you happen to either a. not have tasks for them that day or b. finish your tasks in less time, you still ''work for them 2 or 4 hours a day''@@ErinBooth
@YitzyRohatiner
8 ай бұрын
maybe i also don't fully understand the nature of the work yet. As a general VA for example, Do you work for the client 8 hours a day and your work is your availability during those hours to complete tasks regardless of whether you have tasks? Or is it based on how much you actually work for them a day and that can change per day?@@ErinBooth

Yes! A lot of my students from Vietnam and Nigeria work with US clients - and because of that - are able to charge rates higher than their own country
