Get More Done with Less Stress: Hire Amazon Virtual Assistants from the Philippines

An Amazon virtual assistant or Amazon FBA virtual assistant is a remote staff or employee who works for Amazon sellers in managing their online store. Typically, an Amazon virtual assistant can do social media management, customer service, product research, product listings, and other remote tasks.

You can hire an experienced and skilled Amazon VA for between $2.50 and $8.50 per hour, depending on the person’s skills, experience, and asking salary rate. 

The average salary for an Amazon virtual assistant is $4.22 per hour based on data sampling of eCommerce virtual assistant profiles.

The best way to see the salary rates of Filipino Amazon VAs is to browse the thousands of verified job seeker profiles on the Virtual Staff Philippines outsourcing marketplace. 

What you decide to pay your Amazon virtual assistant is entirely your decision!

Here's some examples based on what we've seen Amazon businesses include on their job posts:

• Write and edit product content that will be published on the Amazon website.
• List new products, update inventory, track information management
• Reply on Amazon reviews and deal with customer’s feedback
  

If you want to pay a lower salary rate, you should hire somebody closer to entry level. However, if you're going to hire an experienced Amazon or eCommerce virtual assistant, here are some ideas of things you should include in your job post:

• Minimum of 12 months experience in E-commerce or a similar role
• Customer service experience
• Knowledgeable in the eCommerce space, which includes product development, consumer research, etc.
• Minimum of a bachelor's degree (in any subject)

Although both our marketplace and UpWork are full of good quality Amazon VAs. A few things make VirtualStaff.ph a better option for those Amazon sellers looking to hire full-time virtual assistants in the Philippines. 

1. VirtualStaff.ph is exclusively for virtual assistants and remote staff based in the Philippines.
2. On average, you will notice that VirtualStaff.ph's salary rates are usually significantly lower than on UpWork. The reason for this is because of how our marketplace is designed.

VirtualStaff.ph is primarily geared towards remote workers and VAs who want to work part-time or full-time for one employer. 

Whereas UpWork has a rating system, which is great for freelancers who want to work multiple “projects,” it is terrible for employers who wish to hire somebody full-time. This is due to the fact the ratings inflate the salary rate. 

Another thing that inflates the salary rate is that UpWork allows VAs from all over the world, especially the USA. This pushes the overall averages up and means the employer ultimately will pay more per hour.

Because VirtualStaff.ph is for long-term hiring, we don’t have a rating system. This is because it would encourage workers to “freelance” as opposed to being committed to working for a business as a regular local employee would.

Ratings promote freelancing as a good thing and reward people who work for as many “clients” as they possibly can, which is an awful thing when you are looking to hire somebody long-term and full-time.
