At The Merry Assistant, our mission is to provide friendly, flexible, and personalized support to small businesses, authors, and entrepreneurs. We know every client has unique needs, and we’ve designed our pricing to reflect our values of fairness and transparency while ensuring you get the most value for your investment.

Our Pricing Breakdown

Here’s how we keep things straightforward:

  • Hourly Rate: $30/hour
    Perfect for small projects, one-off tasks, or as-needed support. If you only need a little help here and there, this option ensures you’re only paying for the time we spend working on your specific needs.

  • Monthly Pay Plans: Base Price: $400/month
    This pricing is flexible and can be adjusted up or down depending on your unique needs and the scope of tasks. It’s designed to provide full-service support, including social media management, graphic design, and other virtual assistant tasks.

Why These Prices?

  1. Expertise and Experience
    With over eight years of experience as a virtual assistant, I’ve honed my skills in a wide range of services, from social media coordination to graphic design.

  2. Quality and Personalization
    I take the time to understand your business, your audience, and your unique needs.

  3. Fairness and Accessibility
    I believe in offering fair pricing that reflects the value of my work while remaining accessible to small businesses, authors, and creatives.

  4. Flexibility
    Life and business are unpredictable, which is why I offer options for hourly or monthly services, as well as custom packages.

How It Works

Before we dive into the work, we start with a friendly chat (sometimes with input from my feline assistants 🐾). From there, I’ll provide an honest estimate of how much time your tasks will take and suggest whether hourly or monthly pricing would be the best fit.

Here’s a sneak peek at the services I offer:

  • Social Media Coordination
    From creating engaging content to managing platforms like Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest, and TikTok.

  • Graphics Creation
    Eye-catching static and short video graphics, logos, avatars, and more.

  • Virtual Assistant Tasks
    Social media management, email organization, newsletters, blog posts, research, and light website maintenance.

  • Custom Packages
    Mix and match services to create a package that fits your unique needs. Whether it’s scheduling, graphics, or audiobook proofing, we’ll create a plan tailored to you.
