Feeling discouraged by $5/hour VA listings on Fiverr and Upwork?

I break down the real reason why you’re not competing with low-cost international VAs and why clients are still happy to pay $25, $30, even $35+ per hour for your support.

I use a mom-friendly apples vs. oranges analogy to help you see how both types of VAs serve different roles, and how to find high-value clients looking for someone exactly like you.

🎧 Whether you’re brand new or feeling stuck, this episode will remind you that you belong in this space—and your rates are worth it.

In this episode, I chat about👇🏻

• Why low-cost VAs aren't your competition (and never were)
• The real reason clients pay $25+ per hour without hesitation
• Finding quality clients who pay well

🎯 Ready to stop chasing low-paying gigs and start signing clients who value your work? The Client Magnet Method mini course shows you exactly how to identify your ideal client and confidently attract them. 

What can you expect from this podcast and future episodes?

• Bite-sized episodes that give you quick, actionable insights into the Virtual Assistant industry
• Learn how to build skills, boost your confidence, and create a profitable VA business
