Why Would You Want To Hire Filipino Virtual Assistants?

Updated on : 29 Oct 2024

This is a must-watch video if you're thinking of hiring Filipino Virtual Assistants or outsourcing to the Philippines. Michael Brodie spends 2 minutes getting you to think about why you want to hire virtual assistants in the first place!

Questions that you'll be pondering as you watch:

  • Do you want your life back?
  • Do you want to increase productivity?
  • Does it make more sense to ethically pay someone $500/month as opposed to $3k?
  • Have you ever considered hiring Filipino VAs to work with your existing team? It does not have to be either, or, it can be both
  • What skills does your virtual assistant need to have?
  • Why do you want to outsource?

This is a short and sweet 2-minute video to get your brain whirling.

I purposely avoided putting any filler in, because I appreciate you have other important things that you want to do with your time, then watch me spend 20 minutes explaining a 2-minute concept.

Important updates regarding how much virtual assistant salaries are in 2024!

The original video was back in 2017, or somewhere around that time. 

Although you can still hire virtual assistants for $400 to $500 per month ($3.00 to $3.50 per hour). We would strongly suggest you set a budget of between $500-800 per month to attract good quality VAs, while still saving a fortune in salary costs. 

Staff that plug into your business.

Michael Brodie is the founder of VirtualStaff.ph and the creator of the VirtualStaff Seat System, a modern alternative to traditional outsourcing and offshore staffing agencies.

After years of seeing business owners struggle with inflated markups, recruiter-driven hiring, and unreliable offshore models, Michael set out to build something different — not another job board, not another BPO, but a system.

The result was VirtualStaff.ph: a plug-and-play way for businesses to build dependable, full-time back-office teams in the Philippines — without salary padding, outsourcing firm markups, or long-term lock-ins.

Through VirtualStaff Seats, businesses can add reliable Filipino staff directly into their operations — one Seat at a time — for roles like customer support, admin, billing, bookkeeping, and back-office operations.

Today, businesses across the US, Australia, and the UK use the VirtualStaff Seat System to build stable, long-term teams that simply work — while staying in full control.
