How to Pay Your Filipino VA Fairly (and Ethically)

Описание: I still see people trying to pay $1 an hour for a VA.

That’s not “smart business.” That’s unethical.

Even $3 an hour — which I still see often — is usually too low.

If you want great work, loyalty, and trust, you have to pay fairly for both the Philippines’ economy and the person’s experience.

Hiring isn’t about getting the cheapest help possible.

It’s about creating a situation where both sides win — you get dependable, amazing work, and they get a real career that changes their life.

Here’s what ethical pay actually looks like:

💵 $3–$4/hr → brand-new, no experience yet
🧠 $5–$8/hr → skilled and growing
🔥 $10+/hr → experienced, confident, and career-level talent
📈 Pay should rise as skills and results do
🤝 Fair pay builds loyalty, not turnover

When you treat your VA like a real professional — not just a cheap worker — everything changes.
They’ll take ownership, bring better ideas, and care about your business like it’s their own.
