Businesses owners hire Virtual Assistants to take on supplemental and administrative tasks, such as editing and proof-reading webinar presentations, sending thank you notes to customers and scheduling appointments, freeing up time for to increase profits and enjoy success with friends and family.
The Virtual Assistant community is a group of professionals who are largely former corporate employees committed to the highest level of service and quality. Becoming a Virtual Assistant is not an entry level role. Virtual Assistants bring years of administrative experience and knowledge who already “know the ropes” as opposed to a full-time employee who may be new to the business world.
In doing a cost/benefit analysis to compare a Virtual Assistant (VA) to hiring a full-time employee (FTE), you may look at the per hour rate and on the surface think that you can hire a full-time employee more cheaply.

A full-time employee is typically paid for 40 hours per week at a rate of around $15 – $25 per hour plus overtime.
