As a fun experiment I’ve been sending out half assed resumes to jobs on indeed.com trying to land a remote job that pays 40-60k a year and then have VA’s do it.
It would be a fun way to test if this is a viable strategy. It’s just some straight up arbitrage but in the labor market. Find a job that overvalues the actual labor needed to perform a job and use cheaper labor to accomplish it. No market is perfectly in equilibrium. Especially the labor market. With the rise of VA’s there’s probably a ton of inefficiencies to take advantage of.
Now I’m curious how many jobs I could get doing this.
Maybe you could get 10 remote jobs and have VA’s do them and make a half a million a year essentially as a contractor but for BS jobs.
This may fizzle out. It may turn into something. But it’s an interesting idea and I’d laugh my a$$ off if I ever read a story about the person who did this on a large scale and made a killing.
