- As a virtual assistant, I am an independent contractor. I work remotely and on my own schedule.
- I am also an adept communicator and I promptly communicate with my clients as needed.
- You will not be responsible for office supplies or purchasing my computer–I come to the job with all my own supplies. Occasionally, however; I may ask you to buy a specific program online which will help me complete work help me be more productive. Of course, we discuss these purchases beforehand. As an example, if I were managing your business Pinterest account, I would probably ask you to invest in a Tailwind account, which would allow me to make headway in growing your account much quicker.
- My work practices are transparent; you always know what I am working on.
- You and I agree on a number of hours per month. You hire a virtual assistant for only the hours you need, and you don’t have to employ a full-time employee.
- I work on a retainer. This means if you hire me for 40 hours a month, at the beginning of the next month, my hours recharge to 40 again. I keep you apprised of the hours I’ve used in order that I can stay busy on your projects and use up all the hours you purchased.
- As an independent contractor, I am responsible for paying tax and you are not my employer.
