Is a virtual assistant more expensive than hiring an employee?
No. The cost savings is two-fold: financial and emotional. When you hire an employee, on top of a salary or hourly wage, you have a ton of things you need to administer (payroll, benefits, etc.), many things to buy or lease (equipment, furniture, etc.), and you also have to share space. It’s expensive and can be grueling. Depending on the virtual assistant, you might pay-as-you-go, giving him or her only the amount of work you actually have during any week or month, or you might have him/her on retainer, buying a certain amount of hours each month for a discounted hourly fee. You can expect great support from someone dedicated to your success.
