Virtual Assistant Jobs: It's Like Uber, but for Your Personal Assistant From Home
Introduction I'm going to let you in on a secret. The world of virtual assistants is changing. It's not just about typing documents anymore. Virtual assistants are now being hired for personal tasks, like scheduling appointments and answering emails. This shift has made it easier than ever to find a job as a virtual assistant. You can even start your own business!
Virtual Assistant Jobs A virtual assistant is anyone who remotely and independently performs tasks for you, the client. These tasks range from making reservations to transmitting documents, but there are many more possibilities. Some virtual assistants work with a team of other virtual assistants to complete your requests, while others may be individuals working on their own. In contrast to hiring an employee or contractor in person, hiring a virtual assistant has benefits that can't be understated: being able to see them during working hours (if at all), deadlines being met without issue because they're not dependent on each other for communication and collaboration...and much more! As with any job description though, there are some hurdles when it comes to finding the perfect VA fit for your business needs. The most common complaint from clients is that they don't know how much their VAs will cost them—especially if they're working remotely! There's also no guarantee that this service will take off like Uber did because there's no real competition out there yet (Uber wasn't even around when I started my first company).
How to Find the a Virtual Assistant The best way to find a virtual assistant job is by using a website that specializes in the hiring of virtual assistants. These sites list all kinds of available jobs, and they usually have extensive databases of past candidates who are ready to take on new clients or who are interested in making their own VA business more efficient. The job search engines we recommend include: • [1] Virtual Assistant Jobs by VirtualStaff.ph • [2] VA Application - Virtual Assistant Applicationis a free directory website for finding virtual assistants and virtual office professionals across North America.
What Kind of Work Will a Virtual Assistant Do ? Virtual assistants can help with a variety of administrative tasks, such as: • Scheduling meetings and travel arrangements • Managing your calendar and scheduling appointments for you • Researching information that you need to know about your industry or the market in general. They might also be able to create reports summarizing their findings.
How Much Does a Virtual Assistant Get Paid? The average virtual assistant salary is $25 per hour, according to data from Payscale.com. The median annual salary for a virtual assistant in the United States is $30 per hour; in the United Kingdom, it’s £23 per hour (roughly $29 USD). That means that most people who work as a VA make between $1,200 and $3,000 per month working full-time hours—or more than that if you live in London or New York City and are willing to work longer hours and take on extra projects outside of your regular job description.
Conclusion You can make a great living as a virtual assistant, but it takes time and patience. The best way to get started is by doing some research and finding out what kind of work will be most helpful for you in the long run.
