Today's caller is starting a second side hustle (the first is going well enough to reinvest some profits) and wants to know where to find the best virtual assistants and contractors.

Three main options, each suited to different needs:

  • Fiverr — best for quick, one-off tasks
  • Upwork — good for medium-term projects
  • OnlineJobs.PH — best for a long-term virtual assistant

The #1 tip for bringing on a new VA: be very clear on what you want them to do. Take time to create good notes or short walkthrough videos. Make it as simple as possible. Training upfront goes a long way — don't throw someone in the deep end and expect them to figure it out.
