Before thinking about how a virtual employee can help you save a lot of money and reduce costs, you need to calculate how much money it will cost you to hire a regular employee who will charge you 80% more than a virtual employee. If you hired a web developer or a programmer in the USA before, you probably know how costly they can be. There are programmers who charge up to $100 and more. They will cost you up to $16000 a month and some of them have even higher salaries that reach up to $50000 a month. Yes, these individuals are skillful and experienced, but they will cost you a lot of money and their salary mostly depends on their education, experience, knowledge and expertise.

With a rate like that, it will be hard for many entrepreneurs to hire more than one employee and they will have no other option. Knowing that, it will he difficult and a real challenge to find the real candidate who will be able to perform the work they need. And the worst thing is that they can easily make a mistake and expect the wrong things from one candidate. Most of the times, it is simply too much to ask one individual to take care of all their assisting, marketing or IT tasks. They may be knowledgeable, but they are not Gods. And what will happen when those individuals experience a problem and needs help? And you are not exactly an expert who could help? All of this means that your business will need more than one employee. Depending on what your business needs, you may even need a small team of employees to run your marketing, sales, production, customer support or even daily general tasks. But if you hire all of those people you won’t be able to give them salaries because your profit is not really satisfying.
Many entrepreneurs think that hiring another employee will just lead to more costs since they will need to provide an office space for the new employee and that could be a real problem if they are at the beginning and trying to reduce costs. Regular employees get paid vacations and days off and the employer is the one who needs to cover those costs. But that is not the case with freelance employees. If you are not willing to spend a lot of money, but still need quality employees, outsourcing the work can provide you with the same quality results except with one thing: you will pay a lot less. The greatest thing is that freelance employees are available at any time you need their services including weekends and holidays. And you don’t have to pay them extra for that, just for the service they provided.
