Things to consider in pricing your services

★ Location○ I don’t believe that virtual assistants or any

freelancers should be priced according to where they’re located.

★ Research on other VAs’ prices○ When you set a certain amount, prove that

your service is really worth it. Learn your skills to justify the price of your services.

★ SKILLS○ Don’t expect that you’ll get a client for a

week or two because you have to learn the system first and like any other business, it requires a lot of time, practice and actually DOING it. Be patient and keep going.
