Become a Virtual Assistant

Start Your Own Virtual Assistant Business

Imagine having a rewarding, high-paying career that lets you use your creativity to provide virtual office assistant or virtual personal assistant services for busy people and companies. Welcome to the virtual assistant business!

About a Career as a Virtual Assistant

When you become a virtual assistant (also known as a VA), you can enjoy the freedom of being your own boss by starting your own business providing office assistant or personal assistant services.

But instead of going into an employer's office to work, you will work “virtually” from the comfort of your own home or another location of your choice. You will have a flexible, financially rewarding business that gives you the freedom to do work that you love.

If you ask any successful CEO or business owner how they got where they are, if they’re honest, they’ll probably tell you that they could never have done it without a fantastic administrative assistant and support staff.

Unfortunately, many administrative assistants work tirelessly for years in support of others, for little financial reward or appreciation.

In addition to working long hours, some workers spend countless hours commuting to an office, have to deal with office politics, and are never fairly recognized for their contributions.

An assistant working in an office may even be thought of as “just a secretary”, which is usually far from reality, and may not be given the opportunity to grow in her career or to focus on those aspects of the job that she truly enjoys.

If any of this sounds familiar, or if you are just seeking interesting new challenges, higher pay, or more flexibility and freedom in your life (or if you are concerned about your company downsizing), becoming a virtual assistant could be your dream career.

The type of virtual assistant work you will do depends on your personal interests and the clients you choose to do business with.

For example, you might choose to work for prestigious corporate clients who have an increasing need for virtual assistants because of downsizing and outsourcing of jobs that were previously done by employees.

Or you might choose to take interesting and creative jobs providing virtual office assistant or virtual personal assistant services for busy professionals such as authors, entrepreneurs, real estate agents, doctors, or lawyers. You might even become a virtual assistant for professional associations or nonprofit organizations.

When you start a virtual assistant business you can also choose to specialize or offer a variety of virtual assistant services, including the following. (Which virtual assistant services would you like your business to offer?)

  • Appointment setting
  • Customer service
  • Database management
  • Desktop publishing
  • Data entry
  • Editing and proofreading
  • Event and meeting planning
  • Executive assistance
  • Financial services such as billing or bookkeeping
  • Graphic design
  • Human resources services
  • Legal assistant services
  • Medical transcription
  • Newsletters
  • Project management
  • Public relations
  • Real estate virtual assistance
  • Research
  • Travel arrangements
  • Website design
  • Word processing
  • Writing
  • And anything else clients need help with!

As long as you have the desire, you can become a virtual assistant and start your own virtual assistant business. No special education or experience is necessary to break into this career and succeed.

You can start your own virtual assistant business and become a virtual assistant immediately, earning an hourly rate of $25 to $60 per hour or more, using skills you already have.

    People Have Said…

    Janet Barclay, Founder of Organized Assistant and Golden Horseshoe Virtual Assistants Group:

    There are so many rewards, including the flexibility to create my own schedule, and the knowledge that I don’t have to do the same old work day after day. But perhaps most rewarding is being able to constantly learn and apply new technical and creative skills.”

    Suzanne Roy, Real Estate Virtual Assistant, V.A. Work:

    Your time is more valuable than you may think! Something that may only take you 30 minutes to complete may take them 4 hours – you should remember to charge accordingly. Your knowledge and skill is extremely valuable!”

    Kate Kerans, Kerans Virtual Assistance:

    The one thing I wish I had known before I started my virtual assistant business was how amazing being an entrepreneur and a business owner can be. I wish I had done this sooner. It has allowed me the freedom to choose to do what I want, for who I want, when I want.”

FabJob.com has given me the confidence to dive in, just like I've always wanted to, whereas before I felt shaky and without a mentor. I'll always go through this ebook for future questions especially during my first year. Thanks!"

        "I purchased the e-book three years ago and I have since started my own company. The book has been my living guide especially in my first year of operation. In many ways, I could not have gone through the starting year without it. This year I am expanding my operation and I was panic stricken for a while to find out that I lost the e-book. I wrote to FabJob about it and in less than an hour I received another copy of it. Congratulations to FabJob! You have great books and your customer service is amazing."

        "I just downloaded your manual (yesterday) and can’t tell you how helpful it’s been to me. I have had the most difficult time finding resources so stumbling upon your web-site was striking the lottery for me. I can apply just about every great tip to my own job search. Thank you so much for this valuable resource!"
