I’m Jean, and I’ve worked as a VA since 2020. This site holds everything I wish someone had told me when I was starting out: how to land clients, how much to charge, how to get paid, BIR, and how not to get scammed. Let me share my experiences with you so you don’t have to make the mistakes I did.
What you can charge as a beginner, not the numbers meant for the people hiring you.
GCash, Wise, Payoneer, PayPal: the fees and steps, compared side by side.
Registration, forms, and the 8% option, explained in plain English.
The red flags that save you from fake jobs and unpaid “trial” tasks.
Everything I write connects back to one of these two paths. Pick the one that sounds like where you are right now, and follow it one guide at a time.
If you’re starting from zero, this is the path I wish someone handed me in 2020: the skills you can learn for free, your portfolio, your OnlineJobs.ph profile, and landing your first client.

Which platform fits you as a total beginner, and which one to move up to as you grow.
The fee math side by side, and why GCash on its own can’t receive dollars, so you stop losing money on every payout.
The 1901 and 2303 process from start to finish, the fees to expect, and the 8% option, minus the government-website headache.
Fake checks, unpaid “trials”, the exact words that reveal a scam, and where you can report it.

Once you have a rate in mind, test it here. Move the sliders for your hourly rate and weekly hours to see what that means per month in pesos, before the platforms take their fees. It works together with the beginner rate guide.
