In the January 2006 issue of Accent, Ramona Goutiere of the Accent News Group explores virtual assistant finances: what VAs make, what VAs charge, and what VAs can do to earn more.
January 25, 2006 (Press Release) --
In “Virtual Reality: Revenues and Rates” (available at http://www.EmphasisOnSuccess.com), staff writer Ramona Goutiere unveils the financial basics of VA businesses. She describes average industry incomes and average fees charged for services, compares VA rates with the rates of non-virtual professionals, and provides some practical tips from an industry expert on how VAs can get ahead.
The article is based on “Special Report: A Comprehensive Study of the Virtual Assistance Industry — Demographics, Profiles and Pricing,” by the Brenner Information Group (http://www.BrennerBooks.com). Sponsored by The Alliance for Virtual Businesses (http://www.allianceforvirtualbiz.com), this 2004 study made in-depth rate and revenue information available to the virtual assistance industry for the first time.
“I wanted to do two things with this story,” noted Goutiere, owner of Goutiere Professional Business Services (http://www.GetGPBS.com), a virtual assistance firm. “First, I wanted to provide a financial snapshot of the VA industry based on a report that’s an industry standard. Second, I wanted to get some practical advice from Robert Brenner, head of the Brenner Information Group, on how VAs can make more money. The insights Mr. Brenner shared with Accent are right on target.”
