RESOURCES
A virtual assistant is an independent contractor / entrepreneur who provide administrative assistance to clients from his own office. Because virtual assistants are independent contractors clients are highly benefitted on account of employee tax matters, insurance, medical leave, office space, equipments, technical or logistical problem. This is an advantage to clients. Keeping in view all the above benefits, a clients customize their remote assistant to meet their exact needs. It is estimated that there are as many as 25,000 virtual assistants worldwide.
It is my experience that entrepreneurs are not hiring virtual assistants but people with specific skills like
SEO and link experts, writers, programmers etc. They are not looking for a cheapest assistant instead the best assistant to work within their budget. So what are your skills?
Marketing yourself is most important? Networking organizations like Twitter, Facebook, Linkedin will be of great help. Become a virtual assistant forum member, create your own blog, join freelance web sites as a member. I have furnished some information on this page. These may be of some help to you.
