We get these questions about our Virtual Accelerator (VA) packages A LOT.
So if you’re thinking of outsourcing to get out of the ‘busy’ work IN your business BUT…
You’re not keen on the headaches of training or bringing on individual virtual assistants or freelancers, then these Q&As will finally show you how to do it right. 👀

Q: How are you different to other freelancer groups? Why not use Upwork / Guru / other?
A: Great question. Typically when someone hires from Upwork or other outsourcing sites, there’s a period of training and onboarding that is required and that is after having gone through the hiring process to find the right person.
(We know. We do this all the time)
And if you need different specialties, well you’ll need to repeat the process a number of times or spend time training a single VA across different marketing specialties.
✨ With our outsourcing solution, you get the entire virtual marketing team. ✨
That’s right! Web developers, tech specialists, graphic designers, content writers, social media managers etc….all managed by project managers so that you don’t have to juggle and manage the team; or ensure the different team members talk to each other to get the job done.
Q: I can hire a VA from the Philippines for <$10/hour - why do you charge more than that?
A: I love this question! So many of our clients now realise that this headline rate is designed to draw you in, but once we start delving into it, you’ll see through it in no time…
1. It’s a single person rate
Based, most likely on full time hours. So that’s a 40-hour week which works out to be an overhead of around $1500 per month.
What if you need 3 different VAs or VAs with different skill sets?
Is that 3 x $1500? $4500 per month?
Or part time, that’s still around $2000 per month.
2. It’s a fixed cost no matter the usage.
Whether it’s $4500 or $2000 or other, it’s a fixed cost no matter how productive your team is.
So the question becomes, “Is that really $10/hour?” or…
Does it feel like things take 3 x longer than it should and are they really productive 100% of the time.
This happens for several reasons.
❌ Context switching or multitasking
❌ Lack of systematic processes
❌ Not working in their zone of genius
Suddenly you find yourself micromanaging, or throwing everything at them to make sure you get the most out of their working hours.
3. Don’t forget the opportunity cost.
Who’s doing the hiring?
Who’s doing the managing?
Who’s doing the training?
Is that you? 🙋🏼♀️
Truth is most entrepreneurs forget about the value of their own time!
The solution…
