Tips for Setting Your Rate
•
Research market rates: Check what other VAs with similar skills and experience charge in your niche.
•
Consider your expertise: Specialized skills (e.g., graphic design, bookkeeping) command higher rates.
•
Account for non-billable time: Include time for admin work, marketing, and professional development.
•
Factor in your location: Rates vary by region and target client base (local vs. international).
•
Plan for growth: Start competitive but leave room to increase rates as you gain experience.
•
Remember expenses: Internet, software subscriptions, equipment, health insurance, retirement savings.
•
Consider packages: Offer retainer or package deals for consistent clients at a slight discount.
