You can hire a research virtual assistant on VirtualStaff.ph for $2.50 and $7.50 per hour. And with that salary rate, you can expect that the person will likely have a minimum of a bachelor's degree. 

If you require only basic research, you can pay a lot less per hour than if you need the VA to research more complicated topics and dissect information before sending it to you. 

To get the best of both worlds and to play it safe. We'd recommend paying no less than $4.00 per hour. 

Of course, this is just a recommendation, and the great thing about VirtualStaff.ph is that you, as the employer get to ultimately choose how much you'd like to pay your staff per hour.

If you've not already done so, the first step is to sign up for a free employer account. 

After you've created your account, you can post jobs, message applicants, and send job offers to the research applicants you want to hire. 

Of course, you remain in control during the whole process. You get to set the hourly salary rate, how many hours the research assistant will work, and whether you require them to be on auto time tracker or not.

Not only will you save a small fortune by hiring research virtual assistants in the Philippines. 

You'll also be able to choose from educated, English-speaking researchers who can do the job you require them to do. 

If, however, you require your research assistant to do more tasks, for example, social media posting, data entry, and perhaps admin work. In this case, it might be better to hire a virtual assistant .
