A Virtual Assistant can be full-time or part-time. The number of hours can be any amount agreed upon by you and your prospective VA together. We encourage people to hire full-time, but part-time can work for certain people and situations.<\/p>\n
As far as your VA being an employee or contractor, that depends upon if you’re hiring from the USA or another country.<\/p>\n
If you’re in the USA and hiring in the Philippines, for example, which is what we recommend, they are more like contractors, but since the USA has no jurisdiction, you don’t pay any taxes on them and don’t have to worry about whether or not they are contractors or employees. (Please talk with your CPA to verify this for your exact situation).<\/p>\n\t\t\t\tI need to hire a VA, but I don’t have enough to provide full-time work. Maybe 10-15 hours\/week right now. How should I get started?\n\t\t\t\t
We recommend getting someone part-time for 20 hours in this case. You won’t have any problem using those hours as you’ll find MANY things for them to do. It’s rare that someone would be willing to work only 10 hours a week, so your pool of applicants will be limited. Even finding someone at 20 hours per week can be challenging since most people seeking a position tend to want full-time.<\/p>\n
You’d really be better off “sharing” a VA with someone else; we have guidelines on this in the course.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\tWhy do you recommend someone 40-hours a week?\n\t\t\t\t
It’s harder to find someone to work part-time as most are seeking full-time hours. Also, once you hire someone, you’ll use those hours VERY easily, even when there’s downtime. We can give you SO many ideas of things for them to help you within your business.<\/p>\n
Also, when you have someone working that many hours, your brain will shift to where you’re more strategic than tactical, and you’ll shift to having your hours be more “valuable,” and working on the things you’re best at doing.<\/p>\n
And finally, if someone is working part-time, they may have another part-time position elsewhere, and depending upon the demands of the other employer, you could be getting the short end of things.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\tWhat is your pricing?\n\t\t\t\t
Normally, for a Technical VA we charge $1197 because there’s more work involved for us to properly screen people. A General VA is $997. But, if you remain part of our community, we take $200 off the price for either type of VA, making the price for our tribe either $997 or $797.<\/p>\n
The above is a one-time fee you pay to us for the service, and you’re responsible for paying your new VA on an ongoing basis.<\/p>\n
If you choose to sign up only for the course and community, check our current pricing on the site.<\/p>\n
Note that when you sign up for the White Glove Service, you get access to the course and community for several months included in the pricing. After that initial time period, you can then choose to continue the low monthly amount for access to everything we have, including discounts on using the White Glove Service in the future, or go it alone.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\tWhich is better for me: the HireMyVA Course or the HireMyVA White Glove Service?\n\t\t\t\t
If you have the time, patience, willingness to learn, and energy to make mistakes, but want to eventually be an expert at searching for, sifting through, and then hiring properly, we recommend the course. It has been designed to help you do that, but it still takes time to go through the material and execute on the search process. Dave recently hired someone this exact way, so it does work, and it works well!<\/p>\n
If you’re short on time and energy, want to concentrate more on your business along with the subsequent talents and skills it takes to manage a team, and have the money for the one-time fee, the White Glove Service is for you.<\/p>\n

Either way, we give you a path to FREEDOM<\/strong> in your life and business; and that path goes through three stages: PREPARE<\/strong>, HIRE<\/strong>, and THRIVE<\/strong>. We provide a ton of templates and tools to help you work with a VA the right way. And we make it so easy for you to copy and make those templates and tools your own.<\/p>\n Of course, we have a great community, with regular Q & A sessions where you can ask ANY question about your business, and leverage the experience of Dave and Larry<\/strong> (over 70+ years of leading and building teams in the corporate and military worlds), as well as others who have had success.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\tWhat is the difference between a General and Technical VA?\n\t\t\t\t A General VA, or non-Technical VA, is someone who performs tasks that does not require detailed skill knowledge or is not as much of an expert in their field. A Technical VA normally has some skill that has taken time to acquire, has a great amount of experience, or will be managing people.<\/p>\n Examples of a non-Technical VA are for things like social media, graphics, admin assistant, answering phones, data entry.<\/p>\n Examples of a Technical VA are for things like web development, software development, accounting, SEO, Ads management.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\tHow is your White Glove service different from everyone else?\n\t\t\t\t Everyone else gets you a Virtual Assistant, and then says “Good luck!”, with some general guidance along the way.<\/p>\n The HireMyVA White Glove service<\/strong> personally guides you to prepare a proper foundation for your team AND gives you the tools, techniques, and ongoing community to help you go further and faster.<\/p>\n During our PREPARE<\/strong> phase, you will get a 60-minute meeting with our team to do a deep-dive into your requirements so that we can find the right and the most awesome Virtual Assistant to help you achieve your goals! Nobody else meets with you!<\/p>\n In the HIRE<\/strong> phase, once you’ve selected someone, we meet with you to discuss the best way to get them started (onboarding). And we now offer an additional service of onboarding the VA for you, helping you get everything setup so that your new Rockstar VA shines as fast as possible!<\/p>\n While other VA sourcing companies will just leave you in the dark after you’ve hired someone, we don’t! In the THRIVE phase, you get two things:<\/p>\n\n
