Yes, it's possible!
You can hire a virtual assistant for $2.50/hour in the Philippines.
If you look at the virtual assistant profiles on our marketplace, you'll notice many are looking to work for between $2.50 and $5.00 per hour.
People sometimes have this wrong assumption: "it's not fair paying them $2.50/hour".
They fail to realize that EVERY VIRTUAL ASSISTANT who creates an account on VirtualStaff.ph does so with complete control over what they choose to put as their target hourly salary rate.
If the VA's choose their salary range, why do they choose $2.50-$5.00/hour?
Here's why:
- They are based in the Philippines, so you have to remember that cost of living is different than perhaps that of your own country.
- Office salary in the Philippines ranges from 25,000-60,000 PHP per month, which breaks down to $500-$1,200/Month. (Remember, Filipinos who are applying to become virtual assistants do so instead of working in a local office, etc.
- The staff you hire for $2.50 to $5.00 per hour are usually employed as an admin assistant, data entry, and other entry-level or basic job roles.
- Suppose you want to hire an experienced customer service manager or an experienced web developer or accountant. In that case, you'd set a higher hourly budget than you would if you wanted only to hire a virtual assistant.
