Janine;

Thank you for posting this article. Not only are VAs mentioned but also giving info on not getting scammed for other opportunities.

My daughter searches for part-time at-home work and has been pulled in by a couple of these -- I have sent her the article for reference.

Thanks again,

Thanks for the link. It's nice that VAs are listed as the number 1. "One can own a virtual assistant business or work from home for a company that makes you available to other employees or clients." At least they also recognize that many of us are business owners!

Great article! Thanks for sharing it, Janine. It's even giving me ideas for things to incorporate into my new VA business. Hopefully someday I'll be skilled enough at Spanish to do translation work!

It never occurred to me that translation could be a viable virtual assistant business. There are so many people I meet who are multi-lingual that it makes perfect sense.

I like to find articles where VAs are listed as business owners as opposed to working for a staffing agency where there is less control over actually being a business owner...in my opinion.

The precise definition of virtual assistance is nowhere near established, is it? We know what virtual means, but the assistance part has so many different angles. Kind of exciting, in a way. As the article author says, it's a "... field with much potential, in part because the title description covers many things."
