Should Virtual Assistants Work For Free? Here Is The Scoop

Should you offer discounts or free work as a virtual assistant?

It feels like a strategic move at first, doesn’t it? You think maybe offering a free trial or a discounted rate will help you land your first few clients.

You imagine those clients being so impressed with your work that they’ll stay on, pay full price later, and send you referrals.

But does it really work like that? What do you think?

Time to look at this with a fresh perspective - in this episode I want you to get a clear, confident answer to this question - and more importantly, a pricing approach that supports your long-term success, not just your short-term comfort.

Because that’s really what wanting to work for free is all about.

Confidence comes from charging what you’re worth. It comes from setting boundaries. It comes from building a business that actually supports your life. It comes from a strategy and daily actions that work to get you clients.

And if you don’t know how to do that yet—that’s okay. That’s what I’m here for.

If this is something you’ve been struggling with, if you’ve been offering free work, undercharging, or second-guessing your prices, let’s fix that together.
