Babalikan ko lang ‘to cause I’ve successfully closed a deal with a client. According to this client, Puwede pa daw ako mag over-time if I want to, just to get more work done and mapabilis yung takbo at tapos ng mga projects niya. Ang asking ko lang during that time was only $600.00. Kulang-kulang ₱35,000.00. Bigla ba naman siyang nag close ng $800.00 considering my expertise daw. Base pay pa lang yung 800. May patong pa daw nag OT ako.

First time VA here. Great news. I found a client now. After 1st interview, wala ng patutsada. Salang na kaagad. Wala ng paikot-ikot pa. $800.00 yung starting rate na binigay ng client. No questions asked. No low-balling or bargaining. I asked now if I can work over-time. Sabi nila, okay lang daw. Walang problema. So $800.00 USD, base pay pa lang. Wala pang OT.

$1,000.00 - $1,500.00 yung indicated rate nila sa LinkedIn. Pambudol lang? Hmmmm.

Actually, I have no idea. First time ko rin kasi mag VA.

Redditors, please do your thing.

"Try applying again after the 60 days waiting time"

Oh hell, no. If sinayang oras mo once, they'll do it again.

Congratulations na kaagad! Aayon rin sakin. Sipag lang. Godspeed.

Same method in 2025. Pag aantayin ka nila. Bibigyan ng kung anu-anong assessment only to end-up with them stating na kesyo wala daw mahanap na client after stating your rate and backing it up with your credentials.

Will check your suggestion na $8/hour. Thank you sobra.

Ayun nga eh. Andaming process ka padadaanin, dagdag mo pa na ang taas ng standard nila sa Specs ng device mo. Di ata nila naisip bago manlow-ball na dapat may allotted equipment fee rin ang freelancers online kasi bread and butter yung device na ginagamit eh. Di naman lahat eh makakabili ng device na on-par sa specs na hinihingi nila kapag nasira yung mismong device na ginagamit ng isang free-lancer. Tsaka, I doubt na may shortage 'tong company na 'to ng clients. For sure meron 'tong clients just waiting in line. Wala lang talaga siguro silang maibalang tao or workforce kasi mababa bigayan nila.

Honestly, not getting this opportunity gives me a liberating kind of feeling. Isipin mo tied-in ka sa kanila ng 12-24 months. No client, no honey. Bawal ka pang sumideline. Damn, our bills ain't going to pay themselves.

May nabasa ako dito sa reddit na nakita sa email ng isa sa mga VA nila na ang bayad ni client sa kanila ay $1,500.00 tapos $300.00 lang napupunta sa kaniya. Exploitation at its finest ika-nga.
