I was asked yesterday (by a friend) about my thoughts on Virtual Assisting & what exactly it entailed. "Is it legitimate and is it worth it?", she asked. To be honest, it is one if those careers that covers a broad range of possible duties. it really depends on what services you feel comfortable and competent providing, and what services your client is looking to fill. Duties could include any (or none!) of the following:
So many other areas of expertise are needed, that the list could go on and on!
Virtual Assisting is a career which could become quite lucrative also if you really focus on growing your client base. I've also seen it to be the smoothest transition for those coming from the corporate world and starting to work from home. Maintaining the traditional office workday, but also having the flexibility of working from home is what makes this option attractive. Interested in branching into the work at home virtual assistant world?
