First I would like to thank you for this opportunity , this is EXCELLENT !!!

Here is a list, in no particular order, of what I know , what experience I have and what I like . What services can I offer ? I decided I don't need a niche , I could do a little bit of everything I know.

I need a sense of direction so please guide me !!!!!!

I'm a certified ESL teacher and I love typing on the computer.

I'm an avid researcher ( just recently ) I researched migrating from Greece to Australia and I'm also working on the couples resumes.

Helping people makes me feel great.

I love to write, wrote articles for a yachting company, corrected spelling and typos on their website, I also wrote articles for an online magazine called Great parenthood.
At the yachting company I booked yacht holidays, created promotional packages to present at EOT( European Organization of Tourism) in NYC , they were impressed. Created marketing tactics for American clients.

Did transcribing work using a dictaphone( outdated nowadays) at a law office in NYC , I acquired some knowledge on licenses and contracts)

Very experienced in sales ( worked at a fast food and at Herman's sporting store)

Interned at consumer affairs & Hot 97
created documents, correspondence, worked at an expo at the Javits center.

Can use all applications within microsoft office, excel, open office 3.0, linux, and skype (use it on a regular basis)

Fluent in English and Greek

I'm very creative ,organized and I love to speak. ( Won a speech contest many , many years back)

I have planned and organized my own wedding and my two kids christenings from invitations to table seating arrangements ( I loved every minute of it)

My hobbies include reading, writing,travelling, sailing
and sewing leather purses by hand for little girls.

Ooops , I almost forgot I love to write , collect and try new recipes with my family !!

It seems to me that writing is your passion and it is a demand service so you may want to begin there. I would look for authors, speakers and coaches since you have the skills need to keep them organized.

You have your list, which is a great start now you only need to organize and package it to be well on your way.

What about event planning? Greek weddings????? I do hear the creative side coming through, so event planning might allow you to give expression to this along with your writing. Ever visited helium.com? You might wish check it out and see if you would liketo give expression to your writing there.

@savvyvirtuals,

I know about helium.com
Event planning can't be done virtually and I have to be out of the house a lot.
I assisted a wedding planner with wedding papers for a city hall wedding.( This I might consider.)
I was actually thinking something like transcription work or maybe assisting another VA , so I could get some experience.
Thanks
