Starting out I won’t list prices but as I get comfortable and build my clientele I will soon after develop packages prices and list them. Thank you so much for the encouragement and empowerment. I am a single mom of one and literally 1 we ago graduated with my BA in Business Administration. Thank you so much for all you do! ❤😊
Love that! Another option is to say "Starting at...." which can help potential clients self-select for budget without telling them exactly what their cost would be before having a conversation with them. You've got this!
Love this advice! Thanks finally have a few clients and just getting ready to build my own website. I'm going to list my prices for transparency. I know when I am looking at a service and there are no prices I instantly think " They are too expensive for me."
There are a variety of ways to set up your services page. There are three examples in this video however we don't get into the backend of the websites in this video.
Hi Savvy! I appreciate your videos. After using Virtual assistant services for some time, I've realized that hourly rates are draining my budget and productivity. It's frustrating to see inflated hours when the tasks can be completed efficiently in less time. Are there any alternatives that prioritize fair pricing and value-driven results?
Great question! An alternative is for VAs to offer services packaged and priced based on deliverables rather than time. This is an older video but the principles still apply: Virtual Assistant Pricing Structure: Hourly vs. Packages th-cam.com/video/9z7stMTUdZE/w-d-xo.html
Originally I wanted to work 3 days but not sure if it would turn off the client. Since I'm kinda new to setting my own hours. Maybe I'm nervous about everything@@thevirtualsavvy
@@thevirtualsavvyOriginally I had in mind to work 3 days not sure if that would turn off clients. I guess I'm just overthinking since I'm officially self-employed
This is a great question to ask inside the VA Savvies Facebook community of over 100k VAs that love helping each other! Thanks! facebook.com/groups/vasavvies
I left my job (which became very stressful and gave me lots of anxiety attacks) for an opportunity that I thought would be great. Well the work itself is not even the issue but the person should ensure that you get pay on time and having things in order. That's not the case so now I'm not even sure how my salary is going. I have been doing Virtual Assistant through freelancing on the side since 2020 and now I am thinking this is the opportunity for me to create my website and give myself the best shot at it. I once did an interview in 2020 with someone and they ask me what I wanted a few years from now I said I wanted to have my own virtual assistant business and even teach others to do the same. And I think I'm going to give it my best shot. I know it won't be peaches and roses but I want to try. Maybe this is the time.

We actually recommend starting with a portfolio before investing any time or money into a website. But if you're comfortable and skilled in creating a landing page, go for it!

I started out with a simple FREE one pager from GoDaddy. It came with my domain name. For now, it gives me a presence. I’ll look at expanding after I build my client base.
Thank you for showing us real world examples and explaining what you see about them that is successful!
You're so welcome!

Congratulations on securing clients! 💃 You're not alone in that thought about transparency. Thanks for sharing here, Megan!
I did list prices, I'm considering now adding in a "starting at" since I plan to raise my prices over the next year.
"Starting at" is such a good option if you know prices will be changing.
how does the service page work and is that woocommernce plug in

Informative.thanks 😊
Glad it was helpful!
As an employee, i appreciate pay transparency when i search job ads. I imagine potential clients would also appreciate the same transparency.
It can often save everyone time an energy to even have a "Services starting at..." when custom packaging and pricing is involved.
