Internet Business Models – Becoming A Virtual Assistant: Is It For You?

Have you thought of becoming a virtual assistant?

Today’s guest post is by my friend Nicole Dean of NicoleOnTheNet.com.  I’m running a series on Internet business models this month to help those who are struggling to decide what type of business to start online. This is the 2nd post about becoming a virtual assistant in this series.

Nicole is a fabulously successful WAHM and owner of EasyPLR.com – a great site to get exceptional content for your blog, special report, ebook or even to create a product.  That’s just one of her businesses.  She knows what she’s talking about, so listen up!  Now here’s Nicole…

Now I knew that this lady had been working as an office assistant in a construction company. Her eyes lit up as I gently suggested that she explore working at home as a virtual assistant. Of course, she had a lot of questions and rightfully so. It’s no joke to venture into a home business after years of employment.

Since this situation is becoming more and more common with the current economic downturn, I thought I’d share the questions my friend asked and some quick answers to them:

What is a virtual assistant?

A virtual assistant or VA is a self-employed, home-based entrepreneur who assists other businesses, often in administrative work. In other words, a VA is an office assistant who never has to step into her client’s office! In addition, most business owners have particular tasks that they will turn over to their virtual assistants, and these can go beyond basic office or business administration.

What skills do I need for  becoming a Virtual Assistant?

The basic skills a VA needs [Read more...]
