How much money does Katie make?
I looked through several of the different types of sessions available to book on the website, and saw prices ranging from $18 to $90 per hour.
Unfortunately, there’s no way to see if performers on VBC are actually getting hired at those rates. I also couldn’t find any info on fees you’d need to pay to VBC for work found through their platform.
Our goal at eBiz Facts is to give you accurate information about online business so you can gain clearer insights, make better decisions, and achieve your own success.
With that in mind, we strive to ensure the accuracy and transparency of the income claims and estimates that you see on this website.
Here’s how:
- We treat all income claims we find online with skepticism.
- We don’t report incomes that seem especially controversial or unrealistic.
- We cite our sources and/or share our calculations so you can see where the numbers come from.
- If there are uncertainties about an income claim or estimate, we tell you what those are.
If you see an income claim or estimate that seems off, please tell us so we can fix it.
