Do you want to learn how to find virtual assistant jobs?

One of my first side hustles was working as a virtual assistant. It was an enjoyable and flexible way to make extra money.

I found many different types of virtual assistant jobs, and the money I made helped me pay off my student loans quickly, stop living paycheck-to-paycheck, and become my own boss.

I think it’s a great way to make money, whether you are looking for a part-time or a full-time job.

This is because you can work from home, decide who you want to work for, and possibly even create your own flexible schedule.

Now that I run this site, I have virtual assistants who work for me, and they help keep my business running.

I don’t know what I would do without them!

Not only are virtual assistants valuable now, I believe that they will be in high demand well into the future. I expect that you will continue finding great virtual assistant jobs online because more businesses are being run online. Plus, technology has improved and many tasks can be done online.

Virtual assistant (VA for short) tasks may include social media management, formatting and editing content, scheduling appointments or travel, email management, and more. Basically, you can get paid to do any task that needs to be done in someone’s business but doesn’t need to be done by them.

This is a job that can bring in over $50,000 a year, and there is a lot of room for growth. So many people are looking for virtual assistants, so this can be a great career option to get started with.

If you are interested in finding part-time virtual assistant jobs or even full-time ones, I recommend signing up for the free workshop 5 Steps To Become a Virtual Assistant. Here, you will learn how to become a virtual assistant, even if you have no experience. [Read more…]

Not even the best writers are perfect. They still make grammar, punctuation, and spelling errors, and that’s why hiring a professional proofreader can be a huge help.

Proofreaders are like an extra set of eyes that can help improve articles, a paper you may be writing, a book, advertising copy, and more.

This is a job that can earn you over $50,000 a year, with a lot of room for growth. So many people are looking for proofreaders, so this can be a great career option to get started with.
