Evidently I’ve been living under a rock. Recently, I stumbled across the small business solution that turned my overwhelming to-do list into something manageable. It’s called Virtual Assistance, and it has freed me from the burden of what would otherwise be time-consuming busywork. Simply put, a Virtual Assistant is an off-site employee who provides web or administrative support services, conducting nearly all transactions electronically.

Teresa – there is good arguments for both sides. I am hoping to eventually have more for packages, though some things will always probably have to be hourly.

There is going to be a real need for frequent postings on networking sites moving forward. Do you do article marketing as well?

Charging by the hour or by project both have their own pros and cons. I personally prefer to charge by the hour especially when I use sites like oDesk. It’s secure for the part of the provider.

Hi Michelle,

Thanks for clarifying how you charge and why. I think that when I need help with a project I don’t really care about how it’s charged as long as it gets done and the price is reasonable.

I’m willing to pay for quality but it takes a while to make sure that quality will be there. Once someone proves themselves then being charged by the hour may be even better if they work efficiently and fast.

Sometimes people are still learning how to do things and it may take them several times longer to do the work than it should. In that case I don’t mind giving them the opportunity but paying by the hour might run the cost way too high.

I don’t have the time to search your site. Can you point me to your rates and what kind of work you take?
