HOW CAN I USE MY ADMINISTRATIVE SKILLS TO MANAGE A SUCCESSFUL CONTRACTUAL VA BUSINESS FROM HOME?

Virtual Assistant: A Rewarding Work from Home Business Opportunity

It started slowly, but it has since become one of the best careers online. As a matter of fact, it is estimated that the business and profession of Virtual Assisting will become a 130 billion dollar industry within the next few years, an assessment made by the George Washington forecast. Once you've learned to become a Virtual Assistant or VA, you will have the advantage to work from home without the need to meet your client physically or even show up at their office. That gives you the power to work full-time or part-time, whichever set-up fits you and still be able to provide your clients with the best support services all from the comfort of your own home.

Why Virtual Assisting is an Attractive Business Venture

As a VA, you will be working independently as a contractor, providing your clients technical, administrative or even creative assistance. Your clients will usually be independent entrepreneurs themselves, such as those that run small and medium-sized businesses. Or, they may be practitioners working solo, such as realtors, lawyers, consultants and accountants.

Provided you can price your services right and gain quality clients, a VA career can be a lucrative, challenging and exciting job.

Becoming a VA moves you a step further from being a traditional employee, who will need the direct supervision of an employer. It is also different from being a temp worker, since there is no need to go on-site just to perform the work expected of you. You also will not work under a staffing agency. As a Virtual Assistant, you will be working on your own, for yourself. You have the opportunity to set your own pay rate, use your own work policies and standards and manage your own work flow.

What Qualifications are Required From a Virtual Assistant?

This isn’t a career that's perfect for everyone, but it can work particularly well with certain individuals. Generally, you will need about 4 to 5 years of experience in administrative work, such as those performed by a secretary, executive assistant, legal assistant, legal secretary, paralegal, office manager and other office assistants and office support staff. It is also required that you are the kind who can work efficiently without supervision.

The work background will give you the advantage of understanding what the common needs of your clients are, and what they expect you to do. This will help you establish your home business opportunity since you already have the most basic skills required of a Virtual Assistant. Please fill out this questionnaire to see if you qualify working from home as VA.

Is There a Course in Virtual Assisting?

There are plenty of online courses in Virtual Assisting and one of the top firms offering VA training as a work from home business is VA Trainer. The courses are taught by Kathie M Thomas, an experienced Master VA Coach who has over 13 years' of experience and knowledge pertaining to the industry. Students will be instructed on the essential things they need to do in order to establish a successful VA home business, including which niche areas are best suited for them.

What Support Can I Expect From The Program?

The Program is a course given over a period of 10 weeks and is best for individuals who already have working skills in computer operations or those that wish to advance their existing Virtual Assistant business.

The VA Trainer Program can offer the following:

A guide to help you learn how to set up a business.
Help in starting your own website.
Advice on how to set rates that will be appropriate and profitable at the same time.
Advice on the effective ways to deal with clients, what questions to ask and how to submit a quote.
Help in learning how to network and market your business.

60-minute online classroom sessions fortnightly.

The weekly lessons are graduated, allowing students to learn the most basic and important aspects of the VA profession. Again, this is not a program for individuals with no backgrounds in administrative work or those who have no knowledge in computers or the Internet.
