Welcome, I hope what I have to share is of interest and useful to you.
Becoming a VA (Virtual Assistant) takes time and effort on your part.
There are 2 ways to go about this. The 1st is setting yourself up as a freelancer searching for your own clients charging anywhere from $15-$50 per hour and the 2nd is to work for a VA firm, like internetGIRLfriday.com, at a lower rate where the firm finds the clients and assigns you the tasks your best suited to.
To set yourself up finding your own clients takes patience & persistence. The first step is to change your resume to a profile and focus on your skills and not just a list of your jobs. Second is set up your online presence, including web site, profiles and networking. Third is to visit job boards that post virtual assignments and start applying to postings you feel you are qualified for. Keep in mind that you will get a lot of rejections. It takes time to find the right clients. If this is the route you wish to take, let me know and I can offer some assistance to get you started. All I’d ask in return is to reference me or my site whenever possible.
If you have any additional questions, please let me know.
