Re: Recent survey offers insight into various Virtual Assistant industry averages
I appreciate the information. I am not one who promotes my writing skills. I have been out of college for over twenty years. It would not be worth it to me to write at that rate. I was a journalist minor and trained that you write simple. We were told to write on a fourth grade level, because that is where most people read. If the writing was involved most would stop reading, even if their reading level was higher. I labor over anything I write.
My husband had a business putting up weekend directional signs. He charged $2.25 per sign per weekend. He had a booming business. Then after 2001, everyone thought it would be an easy business. They charged a $1.00 a sign, before the gas prices surged. They did not consider the wear and tear on vehicle, office expense, taxes, collection fees, etc. They killed the market and most were out of business within two years. He was out because he knew he would lose money at that price.
I think a lot of people do not realize the true cost of a business. We need to charge a rate that is fair to the skills we have.
