How the “$99 Virtual Seat” Made It Possible for U.S. Businesses to Hire Full-Time Support Staff for Under $12K/Year

Updated on : 19 Jun 2025

I’ll get straight to the point.

Hiring full-time support staff in the U.S. is expensive. I’m talking $30K–$40K per year for roles like customer service reps, executive assistants, and bookkeepers—and that’s before taxes, benefits, and compliance headaches.

That’s why I created something called the $99 Virtual Seat—and it’s already helping hundreds of businesses hire full-time, university-educated, English-speaking remote staff in the Philippines for around $8K/year in salary.

Even after adding the $99/month seat fee, you’re still nowhere near what you’d pay locally for the same role.

This week, I broke it all down in a short newsletter:

"How the $99 Virtual Seat Made It Possible for U.S. Businesses to Hire Full-Time Support Staff for Under $12K/Year."

Inside, I've shared:

  • Why traditional outsourcing is broken (and how it’s bleeding businesses dry)


  • How this model works legally, ethically, and transparently


  • What kind of roles businesses are filling—without BPO markups


  • How much you could actually save by scaling smart

I even made it risk-free to try—2-week money-back guarantee, no strings attached.

If you’re tired of overpriced BPOs or the mess of DIY hiring, this could be exactly what you’ve been looking for.
