I can't emphasize enough the importance of providing clear instructions (#1 pitfall). The reality is that in many cases the client might not be entirely clear on what is it they want to achieve or the steps they need to take. So they leave it up to their VAs. Many VAs have the knowledge and experience to help their clients "fill in the blanks", but the time and effort spent this way will be reflected on the invoice. I'd like to add one more to your list - #6 Not realizing that changes and additional requests result in higher costs and delayed delivery. Great list!
