Short YouTube advisory by Will Humphreys (Virtual Rockstar) warning viewers about very-low-cost virtual assistant (VA) companies. He argues that extremely low hourly rates likely mean VAs are underpaid (e.g., ~$1/hr) while intermediaries capture profits, and recommends hiring via companies that reinvest in and fairly compensate VAs to build long-term relationships.

Guys Will Humphries here from Virtual Rockstar. If you're going to hire a virtual assistant, please make sure that if you're not doing it yourself, that you go through a company that takes good care of your people. There's a lot of VA companies popping up right now, and they're all like, charging $8 an hour. The less they're charging you means the least they're charging the VA overseas, they might be paying them a dollar an hour, and they're just taking all that profit in the middle. So if you're working with the VA company, make sure that they're taking those funds and reinvesting them into your people so that with you for the long haul.
