What is a Virtual Assistant?
Virtual Assistants or VA's, are self-employed professionals who work from their
own office utilising modern technology to provide a wide range of services.
Virtual Assistants can specialise in various business support services,
including general administrative and secretarial support, audio transcription,
web design, writing, marketing, bookkeeping, event planning, telemarketing, and
more.
In fact, so much can be done virtually via telephone, email, instant messaging,
remote PC access, FTP, fax, postal and courier services, that virtual assistants
often never meet their clients face-to-face. A client is just as likely to find
their ideal Virtual Assistant in another city, state, or even another country.
The Virtual Assistance industry is a rapidly expanding one. Business owners are
increasingly aware of the savings - in time and money - that can be made by
outsourcing many of their routine operations, allowing them to concentrate on
their core business.
