• Have you heard of the term Virtual Assistant?

  If you answered No, then where have you been!

  A Virtual Assistant or VA, as it is often shortened to, is a self-employed professional who offers administrative/creative/technical assistance remotely. A VA is a perfect solution for a business that has too much work on but not enough for a full time person. A VA can be hired for a minimum of one hour and there are no overheads at all.

  A high percentage of VAs are women who have children. It really is a career that will fit around your children. I am not saying it is easy with children. I have a young Daughter and it is has been a rough ride. If you have young children and you really can't afford childcare, then how do you manage to answer the phone? This a problem I had and decided to use a call answering service.

  It is difficult to build up a VA business and it can be expensive. Discovering those little gems of good free software can help you save money. The aim of this site is to recommend software that VAs and Internet Marketers are using.
