I read a article online about Virtual Admisitrative Assistants.


 


It sounds like a really interesting concept but really is this even possible?


 


I always thought that administrative assistants were supposed to be at the entry to the office and their duty is to greet incomers.

Virtual assistants work from their home offices and they provide support through the internet, email, without necessarily having a presence in an office.  Small business owners and entrepreneurs hire va services.  It is interesting and it's a whole vast field now, thousands of va's are out there working from home.  I myself have been contemplating it.  You can research it more in depth in the internet.  There are VA associations and forums.

We've just posted a great article about how to start a career as a virtual assistant, if you're interested.

Every VA site that I've hit up wants money, money, money to help you start working as a VA. I've never paid to start a job, so it just feels like a total scam to me. It's different if you're starting your own company, but most of these places seem to be contractors who want you to pay for client lists. Whatever.

I'm working on starting my own VA business, and I can tell you that it's a hard slog.  Finding clients is tough, especially in this economy.  But I've always liked the idea of being my own boss, and I figured when I was laid off that now was a good time to give it a try, while I had unemployment to help keep our heads above water.
