You'll be among the very best
We purposefully try to keep our community small, so we can focus on the best professionals rather than growing a huge pool of assistants 'just because'.

You are in full control with your clients
Once we have connected you with an author, it's up to you to communicate and handle your projects with them directly.
Joining BusyBee is simple.

Start Working!
Once your profile is approved, you are ready to look for available jobs in your dashboard and start working!
Got Questions?
BusyBee is just starting out, so our fee is extremely low. A single payment of $197 will get you a full-year membership to BusyBee. Membership will auto-renew the following year, but you can cancel anytime before that.
Yes, of course! We're working on making the process easier for companies/agencies to join BusyBee. The tech infrastructure isn't quite ready yet, so if you want to join just email brian@wearebusybee.com
Once you are part of BusyBee, you are 100% in charge of managing your relationship with your client(s). You can use any channel to communicate with them, though we do offer a chat-like interface here on BB.
Unfortunately, no. We can't possibly tell if your profile will resonate with authors, or if a job that is perfect for you might come in or not. One thing we suggest is that you always keep an eye on the incoming job requests, so that you are ready to reply to the author asap and begin the conversation.
Good luck using Upwork or Fiverr to find an assistant that works specifically with authors! I'm sure you know that we are a very peculiar crowd in terms of our needs, so no 'VA' will do. BusyBee is built for authors, by authors.
