Default Waving Hello
Just wanted to say "hi!"... I just joined and am hoping to learn a lot and network a bit.

I have been working as a VA for about 10 yrs now, 4 of that being RE based.

Hi Melissa
Great to have you here, although sadly I haven't been as active lately as I have been in the past. I'm also a REVA and love it. It has been keeping me extremely busy this past year! So let me be the first to welcome you!

Thanks everyone.

Well believe it or not, the first place I worked was not ideal, it was a "pay to work there" kind of place.. but I worked my way up to actually being the personal assistant to the owner. I learned A LOT, the good and bad of working online, and then slowly weeded my way through online jobs until I eventually found that being a REVA is what worked best for me.

Every place I have worked online, I started at the bottom and worked my way up, and I think that is important for people to remember when they are looking for work. Everyone wants to start out making all the rules, and killer $$.
