I collaborate with a local newspaper so my writing and translation skills are used quite a lot plus I live in a place where the local language is Spanish but there are many English speaking people here who have no idea how to cut through the red-tape so again my translation skills are used at notary, administration offices etc.
The admin side of our business has been a bit slow, but the mobile notary service is taking off. During the second half of the month we have to turn down about half the requests.
My most in demand service is what I now want to pull away from: creating and maintaining spreadsheets and databases. I will be pulling these services off of my website soon. I'll still do them for the people who are currently utilizing me for these services, but I won't take on new projects.
For me, it's a three-way tie between transcription, speaker services, and social media management. Speaker services, however, has a high turnover rate.
Thank you for the tip, Janine. I plan to specialize in Social Media management; doing research on how other VAs present their services will help me too.
