What is Part time virtual assistant jobs?
Part time virtual assistant jobs, or VAs for short, are a type of remote work where you, as an individual, provide administrative, creative, and possibly technical support to clients from a remote location. Virtual assistants provide a huge variety of tasks depending on the needs of your clients and your skills. It could be that you’re managing emails and schedules, conducting research, creating or managing social media accounts, writing blogs, creating graphics, and much more.
Here’s a pro tip, by the way: even though virtual assistants are considered freelancers or independent contractors, I want you to start day one by thinking of yourself as a CEO. Because when you commit to launching a virtual assistant business, you are launching a business, and you are, in essence, your own CEO, your own boss, the founder of your new company. So, if you want to take a little bit of an empowering pause, do so now and remind yourself that right now, day one as you’re launching your business, you’re a badass CEO.
Virtual assistance has become super popular in recent years, and I think it’s because more and more businesses and entrepreneurs are recognizing the benefits of outsourcing projects to remote workers like us. It offers them flexibility, cost savings, and gives them access to a global talent pool. Honestly, it’s a win-win for virtual assistants like us and clients because it allows us a chance to work with interesting clients and meet interesting people that we might not otherwise have had a chance to meet.
Let’s dive a little bit deeper. The term virtual assistance is a very broad term. I like to think of the term virtual assistants like an umbrella, and there are lots of different types of assistance that fall under this umbrella term. There are typically two broad categories that you’re going to fall into. On one hand, you can be a general virtual assistant. A general VA is somebody who provides a wide range of administrative-type tasks. So, think executive assistant, personal assistant. Typically, these are things like managing emails and calendars, conducting research, doing data entry.
Now, in contrast, a niche virtual assistant is someone who has specialized skills or knowledge in a particular area. A social media virtual assistant may specialize in managing social media accounts, creating content for social media platforms. An e-commerce virtual assistant may specialize in managing online stores and order fulfillments.
A bookkeeping virtual assistant may specialize in accounting and financial management. So, hopefully, you’re starting to see the difference here. A general VA has a more broad scope, offering lots of different administrative-type duties. And a specialized VA, while they do have the knowledge and the capability to offer those admin-type tasks, they also offer a specialized subset: bookkeeping, e-commerce, social media, etc.
VAs, by the way, are typically able to charge higher rates because they come with a specialized set of skills. Something to keep in mind before we talk about rates on day three. And most people start their career as virtual assistants as a general VA. In fact, I did too when I first launched my business in 2012. I really wasn’t sure if I wanted to niche in anything at all. Many virtual assistants enjoy a long and successful career as general VAs for their entire career.
I don’t want you to feel any pressure to choose a more specialized niche if you don’t feel particularly drawn to anything like bookkeeping or managing social media accounts. In fact, check out this epic tweet by one of my favorite freelancers, Stefan. I really could not have said this better myself, but it is definitely better to get started than to get hung up on what you may or may not want to specialize in on day one.
So now that you have a few more details about the different types of virtual assistants, we’re going to spend the next lecture doing a skills assessment. Now, this is a hands-on exercise that will help you start to gather your thoughts around which category you might fall into.
This skills assessment is one of my most favorite exercises, and I even do my own assessments every so often just to see if I can add more services to my business offering. So this exercise is meant to be simple, fun, and quick. I want you to think of it like an epic brainstorm to help you design a business that’s filled with services that you actually enjoy doing.
First, I want you to make a list of all the skills that you can possibly think of that you have. This can be a mix of hard skills – things like languages that you speak, technical skills like maybe you’re really good at Adobe Photoshop, maybe you’ve nailed Excel formulas – and I also want you to mix this in with some soft skills, like if you have strong written communication skills, problem-solving, or time management skills.
And I want you to draw inspiration from a lot of different areas in your life. Think about college days, especially if you’re a new graduate, first Part Time Virtual Assistant Jobs that you had, think about your previous job that you had if any, or if you’ve been a stay-at-home parent. There are so many hard and soft skills that you can apply to this brainstorm. Hit pause on this video now and spend the next few minutes getting all of those skills out of your brain and onto a piece of paper.
Okay, great Part Time Virtual Assistant Jobs! I hope that was fun; it was certainly intended to be. And next, I want you to ask yourself, of all the skills that you jotted down, can any of those be done remotely? If you have written any skills down that cannot be done remotely, I want you to cross those things out. This could be things like
Um, handwritten notes, scanning documents, accepting incoming calls on somebody’s behalf, or even running on-site errands—if you have anything in that realm that just cannot be done remotely or cannot be done on your client’s behalf, go ahead and cross those things out. So pause the video now, just take a few seconds.
If there’s anything that can’t be done remotely, exit off. Okay, your third step: look at the skills that you’ve written down, and I want you to ask yourself, which of those do you enjoy doing and/or are you passionate about? You have the golden opportunity to build a business that you actually like, so why would you offer services that you just hate doing? So if you’ve included any skills that you absolutely dread doing, cross those off your brainstorm list.
I’ll give you an example: I really, truly hate creating social media content for my clients’ social channels. I find creating content for other people to be tedious, time-consuming, stressful; I don’t enjoy it. It makes me not look forward to my day. So I no longer offer social media management to my clients.
So you know what’s coming, pause this video. If there’s anything you hate to do—maybe it’s bookkeeping, maybe it’s blog writing, maybe it’s, I don’t know, travel booking—whatever it is that you don’t enjoy doing or you find stressful, go ahead and cross that off your list. Now, when you’re done crossing that up, hit play, join me in the next step.
Now we’re going to prioritize the remaining skills using your level of expertise, your passion, and the market demand. I know I’m throwing a lot at you. Let’s pretend, for example, that one of your skills you’ve written down is typing. Maybe you’re a really fast typist and you’re really proficient about typing documents quickly.
While that’s super cool that you are great at typing quickly and accurately, and you’d probably kick my butt if we went head to head, this isn’t necessarily an in-demand skill that clients are willing to pay for. And that’s because I don’t think clients necessarily care how fast you can type. So, do go through and if you’ve highlighted anything that you’re like, “Okay, I can do XYZ, but I don’t know that clients would pay for it,” go ahead and cross that out.
On the flip side, maybe you’ve identified that one of your skills is that you can find anybody’s email address anywhere, anytime. Like, if you are FBI-level good at researching and finding people’s contacts, that is a truly crucial skill that people are willing to pay for because that falls under lead generation. If you can find leads for your clients to reach out to, that’s a desirable skill.
Alright, hopefully at the end of this full exercise, you’re left with a handful of skills that you enjoy working on, have some experience in, and hopefully are in demand and clients are willing to pay for. If you’ve gone through this whole list and you’re feeling a little dissatisfied about the brainstorm, I don’t want you to be crushed or let that deflate your momentum.
The thing about the skills assessment is that this is just a first step, an early brainstorm to get your juices flowing. This is your first opportunity to start thinking about things that you enjoy doing, to think about things that maybe you could offer for your business. So if you’re struggling to come up with something or you’re feeling a little dissatisfied, do the exercise again and don’t be so hard on yourself or so critical.
Now, before you can even really start your business, you definitely need to know what services you’re going to offer, as well as what services you absolutely will not be offering. So first things first, pull up your skills assessment, brainstorm that we did together yesterday. I want you to look at the list of skills that you’ve generated and identify the ones that you are particularly good at or passionate about.
Are there any skills on your list that make you excited? Are there any skills that you could talk about for hours without any preparation? When I first did my skills assessment, one of my favorite skills that I highlighted was international travel. I could talk about travel hacking every day, all day. So I knew that corporate travel was something that I wanted to offer my clients as part of my core services.
And thanks to my marketing positioning about being a VA who focused on corporate and luxury travel, I landed a client who I’m still with today, almost six years later. And all I do for them is corporate travel. Pause this video. Your first step is to see if you’ve highlighted anything from your skills assessment that you love to talk about, you’re passionate about, you’re good at, and it gets you jazzed in the morning and you would be jazzed to wake up and work with or on this skill every day.
Now, based on the core skills that you’re workshopping right now, you’ll kind of have a better sense for what type of virtual assistant you are. So, for example, if you’ve identified that you have skills in digital organization, you are great at filing things away, you’re super organized, you have great time management, great scheduling, you might want to consider positioning yourself as a general virtual assistant.
Alternatively, if you’ve identified that you have strong writing skills and you love long-form writing, you might want to consider establishing yourself as a virtual assistant who specializes in blogging or content creation. Your decisions that you make today will also start to inform you about the types of clients you might want to work with. I am of the mindset that every CEO, middle manager, director, etc., etc., can benefit from having a virtual assistant because we are the person that makes all the admin cogs turn in the background.
But also, if you’ve identified that you’re a fantastic writer, that might put you on a completely different trajectory. You might decide to try to market yourself to coaches or entrepreneurs who have a product or a service that they sell because you could be the person that writes their sales marketing material. Also, I just want to reiterate that if you want to start your business as a general virtual assistant who offers administrative duties, that doesn’t mean that you will be a general VA forever.
Over the years, you might find that you naturally gravitate towards a specific niche or you might pick up new specialized skills and decide that you want to take your business in that direction. The beauty of being your own business owner is that nothing is set in stone and you can add or remove services based on your level of interest and/or the skills that clients are willing to pay for. So I want you to just take a breath. If you’re feeling stressed right now, I got you. This is merely meant to help you start to plan out the basics of your business.
So don’t feel like what you commit to today is what you have to commit to for the next 10 years. In the next lecture, we’re going to talk briefly about skills that you are absolutely not going to offer and why it’s so important that you define those too. So, while it’s super important to focus on the skills that you do offer, it is actually equally important to
Now, I’m not gonna lie to you; setting rates is actually one of the most notoriously difficult things to do as a freelancer, and that’s due to a variety of factors that we’re going to talk about today. If you price yourself too high, you run the risk of losing business because you’re so high that clients might think, “Well, I’ll just go ask another virtual assistant.” On the flip side, unfortunately, the reverse is true too; if you price yourself too low, the client still runs the risk of taking their business elsewhere because they might be asking themselves, “Well, why is this VA so much lower than everyone else? What’s wrong?”
So let’s just dig into a couple of these variables, and I want you to keep in your mind as we’re going through today’s video that all of these variables are going to be unique and different to you. So how we’re going to present this today is we’re going to go through different variables to think of. I’m also going to tell you a story about my rates and how they’ve changed over the years, and I’m going to tell you a story about a recent student of mine who lives in Vietnam and how he changed his rates as well.
The lecture also comes with a worksheet to supplement some of what I’m about to tell you on video, so follow along if you’d like. The first step in thinking through your rate is to research industry trends. This part also is very action-oriented, so your action step is to get online, go to websites like Fiverr, go to Google, type in “Virtual assistants,” and look for other VAs who do similar services as you.
So if you, in the past few days, have identified that you are a general VA, look for other administrative assistants online who are also advertising similar calendar, inbox, travel management, etc. If you have identified that you’re a more specialized virtual assistant, find somebody who specializes and also offers similar types of services. Aggregator sites like fiverrq1 are interesting in that you can filter different variables like where people live, the ratings, the amount of years people have, and you can kind of get a sense for what ballpark figure people are charging per hour.
And once you start to get a better idea about what the market trends are, what other virtual assistants in your niche or in your area are charging, you’ll also need to consider your livable wage. What you need to do is take a rough estimate of your expenses that you have every month. These are things like your car insurance, your car note, gas, rent, mortgage, food, child care, health care—whatever it is that you are paying for regularly. I want you to jot it down on the list and make sure you know.
This can be a rough estimate, but just make sure that you have a general number per month that you need to hit. And then what we need to do is ask ourselves, “If I’m charging five dollars an hour and I am working 40 hours a month, does this pay my bills? If I’m charging ten dollars an hour, does this pay my bills? Twenty? Thirty? Forty?” Etc., etc.
Because ultimately, if you are in a city with high expenses—I’m just going to throw out an example, New York City, high expensive city—and you’re a new VA and you’re like, “I think I’m going to price myself at $15 an hour,” and in the first few months, you land one to two clients, let’s say you’re only working or charging 20 hours a month—$15 an hour times 20 hours a month, you’re only making $300 a month. That’s not livable. That’s not even enough to pay for groceries.
So these rates will really help you determine, “Does my hourly rate need to increase to $30, $35, or do I need to find more clients?” I don’t want to scare you with that very low $300 scenario that I just threw out there, so let’s talk about more realistic rates. I’m going to start by telling you a story about myself. I started as a virtual assistant in 2012. I started charging $20 an hour.
That was my starting rate living in the United States. By the end of my first year of business, I was making an annual rate of about $30,000 a year. Now, ten years ago, as a much younger person with cheaper rent, that was okay. It was enough for me to break even, if not make a little bit of profit. So that $20 an hour made sense for me back then. Over the years, however, a lot of things have changed.
My level of expertise in how fast I can get work turned around changed, the world changed within those ten years—inflation went up, my expenses increased, my rent got more expensive. At some point in my career, I bumped all my general virtual assistant services up to $35 an hour. Whatever rate you’re setting for yourself right now, it’s not set in stone. If you come to a rate that you’re like, “Well, okay, I live in America, and my expenses, I split them with a spouse, so maybe I can start at the $25 an hour rate, and we’ll see how that goes,” if that’s working for you and you’re landing clients at that rate, that’s fantastic.
You’re not going to be at that rate forever. Now, I have a second story for you, and this is a student that I coached one-on-one recently who lives in Vietnam. And he came to me with a fantastic set of skills. He was a niche virtual assistant in that he could do video editing and social media management for his clients. So, he was also bilingual. So, he started at $5 an hour with this company years ago, and he realized, rightly so, very quickly that other assistants in America were making more money. And so, he raised his rates to $10 an hour.
And when he came to me, he was trying to raise his rates again, but his American client was giving him a hard time. I suggested to him that if you are working with a client who’s having a hard time meeting you at your rate, rather than giving a discount, especially if you’re coming to the table with a lot of great services, I want you to negotiate. A negotiation is really ultimately just a conversation to find a workable solution where you and your client are happy.
So, I told him, “Hey, if your client isn’t willing to go from $10 to $15 today, what if you suggest a one dollar increase per month over the next five months?” Long story short, the client agreed. So, there are ways that you can negotiate, you can get creative. So, hopefully, this lecture gives you a little bit of thinking with how you can present your rates. Tomorrow is my favorite day, day four, in which we’re talking about clients.
We’re going to discuss the types of people that you want to work with versus the types of people that you don’t want to work with, and of course, we are going to be using your skills assessment and your core offerings page to help us kind of plan out this portion as well. So, you guys did a great Part Time Virtual Assistant Jobs today, get some rest, and I will see you tomorrow when we talk about clients. Day four, the last
I do not like waking up in the morning and heading right into work, so I purposely keep all of my clients in the same time zone that’s three hours behind me. By working with clients in a different time zone, this gives me enough flexibility to have my mornings completely open and then work a little bit later into the evening.
Now, conversely, you might have young kids at home, or maybe you just want or need to have your evenings free, in which case you might want to target people or businesses that are a few hours ahead of you, meaning you would work earlier in the morning hours and wrap up work early afternoon, which allows you time to spend time with your family or run errands in the afternoon, etc. Something I caution you about, and just as food for thought, is that I do have a good friend who’s a VA who’s based in the UK.
She has American clients, clients in the UK, and clients in Asia. What that means for her is she typically ends up working over 12 hours a day because she is working around the clock to make sure that she is online and answering emails across half of a world of time zones. Personally, that works for her, and she’s very happy with it because she enjoys working. She gets up early, she goes to bed late, she likes it, and for me, that wouldn’t work. I would wither away to dust if I had to work that many hours every day or had to be sure that I was online for lots of different clients.
So, that is something to be mindful of. Now, as you’re filling this sheet out, by the way, I don’t want you to feel like, again, this is set in stone. It’s not. This is a brainstorm, especially when you’re new. It’s important that you have a sense of direction for the types of people that you might want to try to target online, but by no means is this the only thing that you have to follow when you’re starting your business.
So, let’s use that same example about the health and wellness industry. If you’re really passionate about this industry, you’re well-versed in health and wellness, it’s like a passion of yours, you work out all the time. If you think, “Oh, okay, I maybe would like to work with health coaches or nutritionists,” and you start to research these people online and find that, you know what, maybe you either are having a hard time connecting with them or they’re not actually looking for virtual assistants, or you find that, you know what, this is more of a personal hobby, not a work thing, that’s okay.
Again, this is not set in stone. It is simply meant to be a compass, so to speak, to help point you in the right direction. So, do make sure that you’re taking some time to fill this sheet out today just so that we can use it for the next sections. Where do your clients hang out? I love this question because again, all the answers will be unique to you. But if you’ve done all the action items thus far, and let’s say, for example, you’ve identified that you want to work with a CEO at a tech startup in San Francisco.
You’re like, “You know what? I love that startups are new every day and it’s chaos, and I want to work with a small company, maybe one to two people, and I want a young, go-get-’em CEO.” Where might this person, this imaginary person, spend their time online? I can tell you that they’re probably not spending their free time on Snapchat or Instagram or Facebook. They might, however, spend their free time posting on LinkedIn. And that’s because LinkedIn tends to cater to business owners.
So, it would make sense that a startup CEO is sharing key takeaways on LinkedIn or networking with other people on LinkedIn or raising money on LinkedIn. Conversely, if you have identified that you really want to be a virtual assistant to freelance writers, where might a freelance writer hang out online? They’re probably not on Snapchat. They’re probably not on TikTok. But they might be hanging out and spending their free time on Twitter. That’s because a lot of writers have a big community on Twitter.
There are things like Twitter chats for writers, specifically especially freelance writers, where they’re tweeting their thoughts on the industry and where they can find work. So, that might be a place where you start to search for these people. Now, what if you identified that you actually want to work with companies who sell physical products? Maybe you’re like, “I am totally an e-commerce virtual assistant, and I want to help people sell things.”
Now, these clients probably are hanging out on platforms like Instagram, like TikTok, because they sell a very visual product. They’re probably doing direct-to-consumer sales through things like Instagram. And so, you might want to be on Instagram. My point is, as you start to think about the types of people that you’re interested in working with, you need to know where to connect with those people, where they spend most of their free time.
Because if you decide to specialize in corporate travel and you’re posting really pretty pictures with airplanes on Instagram, there’s a huge mismatch there. And that’s because the chances that the corporate traveler who is usually the CEO or a president of a company, they’re probably not spending a lot of time on Instagram. But if you instead talk about your travel services on LinkedIn, and you’re using hashtags about CEOs, CEO life, corporate life, corporate travel, you have a much better chance of connecting with the CEO who wants to offload booking.
Now, even though this is day four, I have one more video coming for you guys tomorrow. So, be on the lookout for one more video from me tomorrow. Congratulations, guys, you completed the Launchpad course in just four days. The purpose of this free course was to give you the essentials for your business—identifying your skills, your interests, the services you can offer, who your ideal clients might be, and where you might find them online.
And if you completed all of these action items this week, you are off to a great start because fleshing out the business is the most crucial step before you can even start talking to potential clients. Now, you might be asking yourself, “What’s next? I’m ready to take this to the next level.” I have created a brand new membership site that continuously builds your business to ensure that you are running a profitable business from day one.
How it works is every month, I will focus on a new topic. During those four weeks, I will share exclusive video content that you will not be able to find anywhere else. I will share templates, scripts, downloadable so that you can spend less time building and more time doing. I will share exclusive interviews with experts in their fields to ensure that you are getting the most up-to-date information.
In fact, in the first few months of the membership, you will get an exclusive interview with a digital marketing strategist, as well as a pricing and negotiation specialist. Perhaps my favorite part, you will have real opportunities to pitch real clients. Anytime clients approach me looking for a VA, I pass along their details to you, giving you the opportunity to decide if this is a person you want to try to work with. That’s your chance to pitch them. The price I’m setting

Outreach specialist:
So the first one that I want to talk about is an outreach specialist, and this actually sounds much more complex than it actually is. Essentially, what you’d be doing is you would be generating leads or prospects for your clients through social media. So let’s take an example to make it super easy. Let’s say you work with a client who sells online courses, and what they need is to get in touch with more people who fit their ideal customer avatar to make them aware of this offering or sometimes to make them aware of a Facebook group where they could learn more about this or of an Instagram account where they could learn more about this.
So what they would do is they would give you the details, the demographics of their ideal customer avatar. So they’ll tell you they have to be between this and this age groups, or they have to be of this gender or live in this country or in this region. They’d have to have this education or they’d have to have this interest and so forth. So they’ll give you the details of the kind of people they want to engage with. And then what you would need to do is understand that ideal customer avatar. You would need to engage with people through social media.
So that would be through Facebook DMs or through Instagram DMs. And sometimes they’ll tell you where to find these people. Other times you would need to find them yourself, and what you’re expected to do is to be able to have genuine communication with people through those social media platforms. And the idea is that you would genuinely engage with them and build a connection and build a relationship and understand if whatever you’re offering them.
So to become a member of a Facebook group or follow an Instagram account or check out an offering for those online courses, you need to understand if those would actually benefit the person that you’re engaging with, only then make them aware of this kind of opportunity. So make sure that if you choose to go down this path, you do it with ethical behavior and you don’t convert it into spam because nowadays lots and lots of people do this the wrong way. And that not only does not generate many leads, but actually erodes the trust in that company as well.
So coming back to what it takes to be an outreach specialist? Well, if you enjoy talking to people and enjoy meeting new people every day and learn about their story and genuinely engage with them in order to see if whatever you have to offer would benefit them. And if you are able to use social media and I’m assuming you are since you are on those platforms right now, so that is pretty much what you would need to do now in terms of technology and software that you would need to be able to use.
Well, you can easily do this on your phone, but I would actually recommend that you use a computer because in that case, you would be able to have multiple tabs open. Obviously, you need to have a good internet connection and you would need to have knowledge of how to use a regular internet browser like, I don’t know, Mozilla or Edge or Chrome or any other type that you’re using safari. Maybe. And then provide your output to your client in some sort of list that could be a Microsoft Word document or an excel or one note.
I don’t know, depending on whatever they require you to put your notes into. But all in all, this is a pretty straightforward opportunity that you could do as a remote virtual assistant. There are tons of this kind of work from home jobs that you can find nowadays, and obviously the easiest one would be to go on Upwork and search for something like this, fiber could be another good one for you. I would generally recommend that you go and check out their generic platforms out there. There are tons of jobs like this and I’m sure one of them or more can be for you as well.
SEO expert or an SEO analyst:
The next remote virtual assistant job that you can do from home is an SEO expert or an SEO analyst, or pretty much anything related to SEO because social media platforms and Google are definitely here to stay, and the way they operate is based on search engine. And in order for anyone to show up in search on any of these platforms is through SEO. Let’s take me, for example, my videos on my YouTube channel need to show up whenever people search for the kind of topics that I talk about on the channel, right? So I need to do my own research and to optimize my videos so that YouTube proposes them and shows them to people who are interested in learning more about or working from home and online jobs.
And this kind of topics. I need to do my own SEO work and research and optimization so that my videos show up in search. And like me, pretty much, you know, all creators out there. And no matter if they use YouTube as their main platform or other platforms and SEO, if you’ve been on my channel before, is one that I’ve talked about because I really believe this is the future. And it’s really easy because what you would need to do is understand the topics that the channel you’re working with wants to cover and show up in search for, and then do the research through tools like IQ or to body, which are mainly specialized in YouTube. But there are basically tools for any platform out there, including Etsy.
So no matter what kind of platform you choose to specialize in, what you need to do is understand the business or the content type of your client and then use tools like the ones I’ve mentioned to do research and to figure out what are some really good keywords that they can use that they should be ranking for that people actually search for. Because at the end of the day, what we’re doing here, we’re serving needs, right?
So we need to know how people search when they want to solve a problem and when they want to meet a need so that we can give them the answer to that problem by using the same keywords, if that makes sense. And the way that you can learn about SEO is pretty straightforward.The next example that I have for you, if you’re looking for remote virtual assistant jobs, is a channel manager, and you can do this one together with the community management that I just talked about, or you can do it separately.
Essentially, what you would be doing is you would help someone like me, schedule posts, upload posts, make sure that thumbnails are done properly. Sometimes when you have collaborations, you need to make sure that the scheduling is done properly and that the content is produced on time. So it’s, let’s say, the entry level to becoming a producer for that channel. And you can definitely have a very nice growth path if this is something that you enjoy and if media is a space that you feel comfortable in.
Now, in order to be someone’s, let’s say, YouTube channel manager or podcast manager or Instagram account manager, you don’t really need a lot of media knowledge or experience. What you would need to have is an understanding of how that channel works and how, for example, in the case of YouTube, how you would need to upload a video, or what is the information required to properly upload the video or how to schedule a new post and so forth.
So it’s things that you can very easily learn right now, just searching on YouTube. Or you could take a course if that makes you feel comfortable and feel more empowered to support that person. But it’s definitely something that you could easily start doing right now, even if you’re a beginner looking for virtual assistant jobs that you can do from home.
Internet research
Last, but not least, is something that I’ve seen more virtual assistants who work from home actually offer, and that is internet research. And honestly, this can go even deeper into something like competitive research or market research or ideal customer avatar research.
But it’s not really the point of this video to go into that level of detail. But essentially, what I wanted to share with you is that if you want to go for remote virtual assistant job, specializing yourself in an internet research specialist or analyst could be a really, really good idea so that you can stand out from everyone else who just offers generic virtual assistant services and what you would be doing if you position yourself as an internet researcher or deeper, as a market researcher or competitive researcher or ideal customer avatar researcher, you would be looking to understand what your client is looking to find out.
And then you would use your knowledge of how to search on the internet and whatever browser you’re used to using again, like Mozilla or Firefox or Chrome or Edge or Safari, or whatever you’re used to using. You could do that on your phone, or you could do that on your computer and find answers and run an analysis for your client that could end up being a PowerPoint presentation or a Word document or just an excel with a list of things that you found out, depending on really what they’re asking you to look for and when you collaborate with a company longer term, you would get this kind of requests.
If not every day, probably every other day, because they’re always looking for something they’d be asking you, can you research for me examples of partners that I could work with in this space, or examples of other companies offering similar services with me in that country, or examples of similar products that my clients, my ideal customer avatar is interested in and so forth? So there are an infinite number of possibilities or things that you would be researching.
And the idea ultimately is that not only do you understand the need for what you have to search, but also how the output of your work would be used by your client so that whatever you give them is actually useful, valuable, and that can be used to take action. The more you do that, the more successful you will be as a virtual assistant providing internet research services.
These positions are very beginner-friendly, and you don’t need a degree or years of experience to make money online. The companies we show you are also always hiring for virtual assistants, so all you need to do is head over to their websites and register today.
