How to be a Great Virtual Assistant

A VA working, PHOTO/PSvirtual.com

I am writing this article due to a friend who asked me for tips. So I thought why not share with everybody else?

A virtual assistant commonly known as a VA provides all assistant services in an office but in this case they do it online. There is no huge difference between a secretary or personal assistant and a virtual assistant. The only difference is that the VA works in the virtual space while the rest do so in a physical space.

Virtual assistants are limitless when it comes to the jobs they can do. No they cannot get you your morning coffee but they sure will let you go for an early lunch since they will write, design, research, edit, transcribe, manage projects and even manage your social media page. All you need to do is just ask.

How to become a VA

If you are a beginner then you cannot start a website. All you need is experience. A VA must know a little bit of everything.

Join an online workers forum or Facebook Group

You can ask questions here on how and where to get gigs.

Write or work for free

After getting advice find a place where you can apply the same. I am always looking for a guest blogger. I will let you write something and post on my blog and you will use the same as reference.

Join freelance work sites

The best site so far is Upwork. There are all sorts of jobs for you plus you are guaranteed that your pay is safe. Iwriter is average since there are writers who have complained of clients who reject articles and then use them and the Iwriter team does nothing.

The good thing about being a VA is that you are your own boss BUT be very careful, if you are no disciplined in terms of time and delivery then this is not the hustle for you.
