How to Pay Your Virtual Assistant? 🤔🤔🤔
You also need to figure out how you’ll pay your virtual assistant. You have a few options.
1. Pay Per Hour
The most obvious way to pay a virtual assistant is by the hour. After all, we’ve been assessing how much a VA costs by the hour.
If you do choose this option, it’s worthwhile investing in some time-tracking software. This will show you much time your virtual assistant is working in different documents, browser tabs, and types of software. The tool can also tell you the percentage of time spent actively (calculated by keystrokes and mouse movements). Most experienced VAs will expect you to ask for time tracking if you are paying by the hour.
2. Pay Per Project
For more complex work, virtual assistants often prefer to be paid by the project rather than the hour. This is particularly common for services like social media management, where you may pay for the setup of accounts, per a particular increase in followers, and per post. It’s also possible to pay by the project for things like formatting documents, editing web copy, and similar activities.
3. Task-Based Payment
A similar option to the above is to pay per task. Rather than paying for each task individually, you create a list and pay a set amount. For example, if each activity on the list takes 10 minutes, you’d pay the VA’s hourly rate for the completion of six tasks.
This system means you need to have an accurate idea of how long each task should take. Of course, if you’re used to carrying out tasks yourself, you will already know this. If you’re unsure, the VA can tell you and you can decide if it sounds reasonable.
The task-based payment method has the advantage of eliminating the need for time tracking. This means you can contract a virtual assistant with less experience without needing to worry that the VA will take too long on simple tasks.
4. Subscription Plan
If you use an agency to find a virtual assistant, you may have the option to pay a subscription plan. Typically, the agency will have between three to five plans to choose from, each providing you with a different number of hours per month (or week) and covering a distinct range of services. The higher-priced plans may also have some added benefits.
