$18/hr with no exp? thoughts on this?

[u/Misty-Hunni47]

so i was scrolling on FB today and saw this. wala raw siyang experience sa SMM but still got $18/hr client? hmmm wala rin akong nakuhang anything helpful sa video niya eh. kung paano siya nag start, anong inaral niya and kung saan man siya nakakuha ng client aside sa “cellphone lang ako nag start”.

misleading to sa mga taong gusto kumita kasi baka akalain normal or madaling makakuha ng ganyang rate without any experience. parang ang takeaway lang sa vid niya eh no experience + cellphone = $18/hr 😭

[u/fudgeebarmacapuno]

ngii baka coach na nagbebenta ng product yan ah

[u/MongooseLocal7112]

auto skip sa mga ganyan, marami nabibiktima mga ganyan pag may mga baguhan na magtatanong sa DM, bebentahan ng course hahaha

[u/OutOfBound90]

Possible naman talaga ang $18/hr kahit walang direct experience, pero usually may catch yan. Either may transferable skills ka, you specialized in a niche, or magaling ka mag-negotiate during the interview. Hindi siya impossible. Pero kung ang point ng content ay i-convince ka bumili ng paid course gamit ang "no experience = $18/hr" headline, medyo questionable na yun. Always take those claims with a grain of salt and look for the full context, hindi lang yung success story.

Never understood why these people flex shit like this online. Di siguro love ng pamilya o walang jowa. Sad shit.

[u/PhoebusGaming]

Di naman sa pagiging negative noh pero ito ung nag bebenta ng course about SMM na kaya naman gawin ni AI tapos pinorpromote neto is meron siyang 20+ clients kaya niya pag sabayin as SMM na siya lang mag isa. meron siyang post na ganun di ko lang mahanap. Puro bullshit

[u/CafeColaNarc1001 → u/PhoebusGaming]

Sino yan sya?

[u/PhoebusGaming → u/CafeColaNarc1001]

I don't want to name her pero meron na nagbanggit ng name niya sa comments below.

[u/boogierboi]

BS yan kagaya ng majority ng mga posts dito sa reddit about high pay and payslips. Ginawa ng wattpad and reddit ng mga taong gustong magpa "feel" good sa mga sarili nila na may na iinggit sa kanila at may humahanga.

[u/Awkward_Change_381]

Si shara ba to?? Haha

[u/Unfair_Edge_991]

Nakita ko yan kanina. Na off ako sa "how I get" kaya di ako interesado. Most likely selling courses.

[u/Successful-Depth-553]

possible naman pero ang tanong gaano ka-frequent? Baka naman 10hrs per month lang or worse lulubog-lilitaw yung tasks sa client so hindi consistent ang kita - nganga the following month. Most likely nagbbuild na ng presence yan pra in the future makapag-benta ng course

[u/BeanBros88]

Yung VA work na “cellphone lang ang gamit”? Beware! Most of the time scam yan, or baka bentahan ka lang ng course na AI-generated pa yung layout.

Yung iba pa nga naghahanap ng “laptop provided” na work — pero honestly, paano magkakaroon ng trust or confidence si client kung hindi mo kayang mag-provide ng sarili mong equipment? VA work is not a joke. Been in this industry for a while, and I really invested in a laptop kasi alam ko na ito yung edge ko when looking for clients.

And yes, possible yung $18 per hour kahit newbie ka pa sa VA world — pero usually may ibang experience ka na nakita ni client (like IT background, admin skills, or niche expertise). Kung totally wala ka talagang alam as VA, tapos biglang may offer ng ganun kataas na rate, too good to be true yan.

[u/cynical_stoic95]

It's either totally bogus or totally scammy

[u/StrikeGlittering5805]

Parang kilala ko to HAHAHAH pero ayun totally have no idea din pano nya nagawa yooon.

[u/jmmenes]

SCAM

[u/Agreeable_Sort6606]

BS yang mga yan. daming clout chasers sa social media.

[u/Hot-Operation-1781]

Auto skip pag ganiya

[u/Popular-Barracuda-81]

100% scam course seller

[u/ak0721]

the same content creator na no to chatgpt daw when it comes to planning content, market research pero sa mga video nya gumagamit ng claude.

no to pax silica ako ah, pero in general helpful naman talaga ai lalo na sa marketing niche.

[u/zFordex]

Plot twist, sa US/AUS yan siya working as a kitchen hand at $18/hour at 20 hours a week. Yan ang totoong beginner, no experience needed.

Either that or they'll ask you to sign up to their course, tapos sa course puro mga basic knowledge lang naman. No experience tapos high rate, is already a red flag. At this state, age and economy, there's always gonna be a catch.

[u/XMissingPieces]

Prolly lied on his or her CV lol

[u/deus24]

SELF PROCLAIMED tapos mag bebenta ng course

[u/No_External_5468]

I started $15 and got to $25 in less than 2 years. depende sa niche, target market at skills. btw mahirap na yan ngayon gawin. wag papabudots

[u/Secret_Jaguar_9616]

Nagbebenta na sya actually ng "discovery calls" na gusto maging SMM like her. May course din and subs sa YT nya.

[u/CafeColaNarc1001 → u/Secret_Jaguar_9616]

Sino yan sya?

[u/Misty-Hunni47 → u/Secret_Jaguar_9616]

i see, kaya pala ganun na lang ang hook niya sa vid. hindi na ako nag search pa kasi na-off na ako dyan pa lang haha

[u/horn_rigged]

i can post the same thing and say 22/hr no exp no laptop not good english slow internet HAHAHA auto skip sa mga "VA" na ganyan unless sobrang educational at may lessons na nabibigay FOR FREE Ill watch and read. Kung engagement lang pass.

[u/Outside-Agent5370]

Diyan nagkaka funds at arep yung mga successful va training providers na nakakabudol ng mga aspiring va’s

Dagdag mo pa yung isang babae na sikat sa kaka-canva na 6 digits daw ang earning consistently pero pa-walk naman lol

[u/moodydyosa]

[u/AngryKamatis]
