Our hourly rates depend on the type of support you are seeking. Please book a call, so we can figure out what rate is right for you.

$41/hour - Stay within the lines. This is work that needs to be managed more closely, has templates and an outlined workflow. Examples would be data entry, basic email management and scheduling.

$47/hour - Take it and Run with it. This is a more independent virtual assistant who assists with workflows, operations and is more of a thought partner. Examples would be CRM management, executive administrative support, or social media management.

$44/hour - Split the difference. This is somebody that can do a little bit of both, but won’t be a full thought partner. Examples might be email management and responding to clients, or researching travel.

$2/hour discount for non-profits

In addition, we have Specialty Rates for tasks that are beyond the typical administrative tasks.

Rate examples using social media:

• The $41/hour Freedom Maker would schedule/post content that has already been created by the client, and monitor/respond to comments using pre-established responses.
• The $47/hour Freedom Maker would create all content to schedule/post, and could monitor/respond to comments. The Freedom Maker could offer suggestions for ways to improve the social media workflow, and create a repository.
• The $44/hour Freedom Maker is a mix of the above—perhaps write copy for already-created graphics, and schedule/post the content. The Freedom Maker would provide simple responses to “standard” comments and alert the client to comments needing attention.

All hourly rate discussions should be with FMVS, rather than with your Freedom Maker.
