Ep193 Sub-Contractor Or Freelancer - Which Is Easier?

The Sam + Jo VA Show

Show Notes

Dude! There is no ‘easier’.

There’s also no ‘quicker’, ‘faster’ or ‘better’ (in case you were wondering that too).

Every aspiring virtual assistant is different.

You have different skills, experience, personality types, available working hours and financial responsibilities.

So instead of asking us which pathway is easier, ask yourself which are you better suited to?

And if you don’t know, then we’ve made it SUPER easy for you to find out!

In this episode you’ll learn:

The differences between being a sub-contractor and being a freelancer. The pros and cons of both sub-contractor and freelancer pathways. Why you may assume the sub-contractor route is easier and quicker. How to find out which pathway you’re best suited to.

Sub-Contractor, Freelancer or Agency Owner?

Your perfect virtual assistant pathway is just minutes away! Take the quiz here.
