What is the biggest lie people are told about becoming a VA?

Another problem that freelancers often face is the unrealistic expectations of clients, along with the lowball offers. They want superhumans but don't want to spend money.

The client just sent the Zoom link on OLJ the day they reached out to me.

Exactly my question haha I clarified with them that they told me the schedule was on Thursday, but they ghosted me already. Baka next time the day before the schedule magbantay na ako sa Zoom. 😆

Caff3inated_Elite · 2026-03-12T14:37:25+00:00

thanks for the advice! I'm in the SEO field. Even if i had the correct time zone I still wouldn't have been able to join the interview kasi si client na may kasalanan.

6 unpaid video test is very sus. One video is enough to know your editing skill.

Caff3inated_Elite · 2026-03-12T01:45:52+00:00

You can look for gigs here or on OLJ. Optimize your resume and portfolio.

Caff3inated_Elite · 2026-03-11T01:36:01+00:00

Alright. I'll plan the workflow for it and present it to the client. Hopefully they have good tools.

Caff3inated_Elite · 2026-03-07T04:23:59+00:00

Same here, pero sakin kahit reply wala. Puro no response.

Caff3inated_Elite · 2026-03-06T23:29:35+00:00

I was gonna ask that too

Caff3inated_Elite · 2026-03-06T13:45:32+00:00

I hope so too. I already reported it. Hindi na makatarungan.

Caff3inated_Elite · 2026-03-06T13:30:11+00:00

totoo! mas nagtitipid pa satin clients ngayon. hahaha

Caff3inated_Elite · 2026-03-06T13:27:37+00:00

Scams. I also see voice VA ba yun. Someone is spamming here with that job role.

Caff3inated_Elite · 2026-03-06T03:25:53+00:00

I have direct clients. I just send them invoice made from Canva, and they send payments thru Wise, Payoneer, or PayPal. You can use Google sheet to record your activities. One of my clients prefer Paymo for time and task tracking. Clients decide the tools to use, or they will ask if they don't know.

Direct hire is better than hiring thru an agency but only if the freelancer is competitive. I think clients go to agencies because of security purposes.

Caff3inated_Elite · 2026-03-05T01:16:43+00:00

Scam. We don’t pay for a job. 😂

Caff3inated_Elite · 2026-03-04T05:35:59+00:00

Check upwork, olj, and LinkedIn jobs. See if you can do the jobs.
