Should a Virtual Assistant Charge By The Hour or By Package

The Ridiculously Good Virtual Assistant Show

So today we are talking about the very common question ... how to bill your Virtual Assistant clients.

There is a misconception that billing by the package is better and smarter.

But that's not always the case.

Why do VAs want to charge by package? The main reason is they want to stop tracking their time.

But you still need to track your time with packages!

Well, in a manner of speaking anyway.

Which is better, charging by the hour or by the package?

The answer can be … either … it really depends on what services you offer and what kinds of clients you work with, and how you want to work.

In this episode, we'll talk about what the differences are between the two strategies, what you need to do for each, why you might choose one over the other, what your clients need to know, and more.
