It makes not a bit of difference wether you are VFR or IFR. You swap to FL/Altitude at the same points, just the level/altitude you fly at is different.
What do you currently do above 3000ft but below the transition level? Well, keep doing the same!
I think you'll find that it's recommended VFR traffic should use +500ft levels.
