Smile Hello from Australia
Hi everyone I'm new! I've never been on a forum before so this is all new to me. I have been involved in administrative and secretarial work for 12 years. I am currently working part time in administration so I can still be home with the little ones a couple of days a week. I have been thinking about becoming a Virtual Assistant for a long time but never knew where to start. I was recommended to your site after contacting an established Virtual Assistant and asking her for advice. Any advice you can give will be greatly appreciated!

Hi Pauline and

The best advice you will be given on this site, is check out all of the individual forums and threads contained therein. There is a wealth of information on here and it is added to daily.

Have fun, I know I am

Hello from New Zealand!

Try to read through all the threads on here, especially the ones containing specific information, like prices, contracts, niches, etc.

It would be a good idea to get some good books as well because all the info is then in order. Check out the book review threads as they tell you exactly what you need.

Hey!
I am new too and just starting to learn the ropes as well.

Australia is so nice I miss it. I was raise in Indonesia so Caines was our second home.

Well, I wish you the best of luck on your venture.
