Re: Thinking of entering the VA world
Hi there!
I am the owner of a Multi-VA company that specializes in marketing for Coaches. I don't know what other owners do, but I am willing to share my philosophy in sub-contracting work.
Personally, I do not bring people onto my team who have less than a year of experience unless I KNOW they can handle juggling the responsibilities of running their own business, have skills that I am in need of immediately and I believe my team could not do without this person. Of course, I'm that picky with all my subcontractors, even when they have 20 years of experience.
Again, this is my own personal philosophy. I suggest you get really clear on what services you'd like to offer to a team. I also suggest you get clear on how much you want to be paid for your services. Some team owners have a set fee that they pay all their subs. Others will negotiate based on the type of work.
There are some intern programs out there where you can earn very little money to get some experience with a team. By very little, I mean $8 an hour or so.
Feel free to PM me with any questions as you move forward.
Create a great day!
Kristen
