What Is A Virtual Assistant?

A Virtual Assistant is a remote assistant. They are independent contractors for individuals and businesses they work with. They can provide all sorts of tasks such as general administration tasks, creative or tech support. There are many different ways you can be a Virtual Assistant.

Can I Work From Home?

YES! When you are a Virtual Assistant you get to choose where you work from, whether you want to work from the comfort of your home, a coffee shop or while you lay on the beach while you travel. 

Do I Have To Provide All Support To Clients?

No. This is the joys of being a Virtual Assistant. You get to decide what services you offer and which ones you will not offer. Many new Virtual Assistants will begin by providing general admin services and then decide from there which areas they enjoy and which ones they would rather not continue to provide. You might be even surprised at what you learn along the way that you love to do. 

Are My Clients My Boss?

No! As a Virtual Assistant you are your own boss. The individuals and businesses you work with are your clients, so you are forming a working relationship. They do not get to tell you what hours you work, what days you work, when you get vacation and how much you get paid. You are your own boss and you get to make those decisions yourself. 

With that being said, as you look for job opportunities you will notice that some do say that you are required to work between certain hours and certain days with a certain pay rate. This is okay! They are also looking for specific people to work with, if they don't fit what you are looking for, move on.
