Do not disappear into "Never, Never Land" of Virtual Assistants!!

2010-05-11T11:13:00.009-04:00

If you are interested in working as a virtual assistant or are currently a virtual assistant; here is one strong key point to be keep in mind in order to help build a solid reputation as a "remote worker," and that is "NOT" disappearing into the world wide web without contacting the client you were currently engaged in work with and conveying that you are ending the contract.

In speaking to many small business owners and entrepreneurs that encourage working with virtual assistants, they have one complaint....sometimes a virtual assistant will disappear and cease communication. I call this the "never-never land of virtual assisting." One day the virtual assistant becomes un-reachable by phone, email, telegraph, telepathic messages, message in a bottle..you name it, there is no way to get back in touch with this individual.

I am unsure of why some individuals feel as through because you are not working "on site" (in full view) with the individual or company, they have no conscience in just disappearing and walking away without giving proper notice.

The virtual assistant world is growing, changing and provides many valued services to individuals or small business owners who are in need of quality virtual assistant services and here are some simple pointers in order to be successful.

(I am just listing two pointers that have to do with the "disappearance" act.)

*Know when to say when-Not all relationships are perfect, but some are far from perfect and the personalities may not be a good mix between the independent contractor and client. Or perhaps the contract that you have taken on does not jive with the qualities and skills you have to offer. At this point a good virtual assistant knows "when to say when." Professionally and without being rude, you simply give your client a notice, clearly and simply explain the reason you feel the contract should be terminated. It is not good practice to feel overwhelmed and act unprofessionally and walk away without giving this client a notice.

*Accountability-A virtual assistant is not an employee. We know that. We know that a virtual assistant is a business owner and unless the nature of the position states, they do not have to work set hours or during shift hours, but always keep appointments. If a virtual assistant is working with a client and they plan a meeting or interaction at some point on a given day, do not miss appointments and meetings just because they are on the web and not in person. If a conflicting appointment comes up due to circumstances, remember to call ahead of time and reschedule. Always keep a great calendar and schedule-schedule-schedule. It does not matter where you are working from --do not disappear.

Do not forget..."never never land is where Peter Pan and the lost boys go, not virtual assistants who want to be successful!"

Virtual Assistant Tool -Mobile Broadband with Virgin Mobile

2010-02-02T22:06:00.004-05:00

In order to have a successful virtual assistant business, it is highly recommended to utilize many tools that are available that can help you run an efficient and streamlined "virtual" business. Hey there! If you are a virtual assistant, you know that you run into certain times when wi-fi is not available and you cannot find an internet connection to save your life. In order to save on the cost of paying a mobile broadband every month, a good option was introduced last year by Virgin Mobile. It is a mobile broadband plan that is, "Pay as you go." Purchase a broadband device at Virgin Mobile for $99.99 and pay for the internet usage that you need in increments of your choice. Plans start at $10.00-500 mb that expires in 10 days all the way up to $60.00 - 1 GB that expires in 30 days. Check out the mobile broadband plans and see if they fit your needs. Most of the time wireless internet is available for me to use, but sometimes if I sneak away on vacation, this type of mobile broadband plan works for me. This is a great tool to add to your virtual assistant "must have" tools.

2009-06-05T17:08:00.006-04:00

Use Freelance sites to build your Virtual Assistant Portfolio

2009-06-05T11:52:00.007-04:00

Everyone Needs a Virtual Assistant

2009-06-05T10:55:00.001-04:00

Everyone needs a Virtual Assistant, right? Yes, but as I have been working as a Virtual Assistant, I have found several helpful tips and pointers, whether you are working as a Virtual Assistant and trying to build your client base or if you are just starting out and building a new Virtual Assistant business.

1.) Create your own Virtual Assistant website: This the most important marketing tool. Who would believe a Virtual Assistant can do a good job if they are not savvy with working on the internet or putting together a website. Networking and building contacts in the regular business world is so important to growing a business or building a portfolio and the same thing applies to the “online” world or “virtual” world. Make sure your website clearly defines what types of services you provide and as much organized information you can about your particular virtual assistant business. Also, list your virtual assistant website on as many virtual assistant directories as possible.

2.) Find your niche: The reason I say this is that when a prospective client is seeking the services of a Virtual Assistant, they are not necessarily looking for a full-time secretary to work 40 hours per week for them remotely. Most business professionals and companies are seeking to fill a need that they may have. Maybe it is a small task of research and analysis of data for a new product they are thinking of launching depending on the product growth in the market. Or they could need a snazzy PowerPoint Presentation put together for a pitch to a big client. Whatever the case you need to step in and fill that need. Most often if you find a client and you work together and have great work chemistry and have provided quality services to them in a timely manner, they will work with keeping you on retainer as their Virtual Assistant.

3.) Expand your Skills-set: Gone are the days when Virtual Assistants were just known for being someone who had secretarial skills and could type and answer phones. The world is ever-changing and I think that the Virtual Assistant, not only is changing with it, but actually is part of the revolution that we are in. A good Virtual Assistant will be up on all new internet programs and applications that are available. These are some examples of tasks that an entrepreneur may need from a good virtual assistant: internet marketing, writing blog articles, blog promotion, promotion of website with blog, social networking etc. and the list goes on.

4.) Gain experience: Starting a Virtual Assistant business is not easy. It takes a lot of hard work and dedication and you have to build trust in your work and ability to work as an independent contractor. Not everyone is able to work their own hours, prioritize work-loads, multi-task between clients and keep it all together looking highly professional and being “reachable’ within a short time frame from most of your business clients. You need to build trusting relationships with business clients in hope of keeping them on or being recalled for a specific needs or tasks they may need. Once a client knows that they can come to you for just about any administrative need that you specialize in and you will provide it to them, you have built a wonderful relationship and are well on your way to building a lucrative virtual assistant business. Start out by moonlighting on freelance websites in order to build a portfolio and “prove” yourself in the “virtual” business world.

Don’t miss “Free Dell Inspiron Mini 9 Laptop” Promotion at Frontier Communications

One of the perks to working from home and telecommuting is that you have the freedom and flexibility to work from anywhere.

Work at Home Medical Transcription Jobs and Information

2009-02-04T12:39:00.009-05:00

Do you have experience and/or certification in medical transcription? Now is the time to explore a possibility of working from home as a medical transcriptionist. According to the U.S. Department of Labor Bureau of Labor Statistics, the growth rate for medical transcription jobs will be increasing by 14% between the years of 2006 and 2016, due to the rising numbers of our aging population in the US. There is also an advantage of working in the medical transcription field, because there are fewer jobs outsourced overseas due to the need of meeting US standards in English grammar and spelling and ability to transcribe medical documents.

If you are interested in working at home and do not have experience in medical transcription, consider taking online certification courses for medical transcription.

Work at Home as a Virtual Assistant

2009-01-07T18:44:00.005-05:00

Are you currently working as an administrative or executive assistant? Do you have experience in office and administrative assistant services? Are you currently seeking a work at home job or telecommuting position? Do you have a motivated entrepreneurial personality and want to start your own business working at home? Now is the time to become a virtual assistant. In this wonderful age of technology and with a great amount of technical tools and resources, consider the option of working at home as a virtual assistant. A virtual assistant is an independent contractor or freelance professional who owns their own business and provides administrative assistant support to business professionals working mainly out of their own home.

Start off with creating your winning resume that highlights all of your educational and work experience and skills. Spend time on it as your resume will set you apart from the rest of applicants. There are many resources online in order to help you create a great resume and start your business.

When starting a virtual assistant business there are a couple of pointers to keep in mind before launching your business.

·Settle on what services you are going to provide? ·Take skills and assessment tests in order to clearly define what services you are qualified to offer. Also consider getting professionally certified as a virtual assistant. ·Join virtual assistant networks and affiliations. ·Seek out freelancing web sites and create profiles in order to gain positive feedback and references working for business clients. This can also help you prove how versatile and motivated you are to working at home for yourself from a virtual office. ·Create a business plan. Outline all the goals that you hope to achieve and your virtual assistant company vision and types of services. Also include your financial plan and marketing strategies that you will be using. ·Start a professional vir tual assistant website including credentials, availability, feedback, references and also propose the services you will be providing. Any good virtual assistant knows that in order to market yourself as a virtual assistant you must be technology savvy and up to date with the use of remote office tools. The website should be launched before you begin your practice, because this is clearly like an online resume and will be your biggest marketing tool.

The cost savings and benefits for businesses in hiring virtual assistants include:

·Not having to deal with lost commute time and less absenteeism ·Being able to select candidates from a larger pool of qualified professionals. Businesses do not have to look to hire from local applicants only because they can choose to work with virtual assistants who have just the right credentials that will fulfill the needs for their company. ·There is a smaller learning curve. If a business seeks to hire virtual assistants they are usually versed in the right areas of expertise when chosen. ·Savings include not having to provide office space, benefits to be provided and health insurance costs. ·Less time is lost when businesses choose to work with a virtual assistant because the time they pay for is time that is solely dedicated to their project. If you are interested in working from home and not seeking to start your own business consider applying at legitimate work from home companies that hire virtual assistants to work for them.

Make money working from home as an eBay Seller

2008-12-20T20:19:00.005-05:00

If you are pursing the possibility of working from home then one avenue to take is to become an eBay seller. I started selling on eBay in February of 2001 and it was fairly simple to set up and get things running smoothly. There are so many help areas and resources that are available at both eBay and on the web that you should take advantage of them. Working from home jobs are not always data entry jobs or customer service jobs; keep an open mind and examine all of the options. Work at home jobs can include a multitude of things and eBay selling is one of them.

Look around your house. There are probably hundreds of items that you do not actually need nor want, but have purchase and they are practically brand new and have not been touched. Well, someone else can need or want these items. So provide a service and set up your home office and become a sales consultant on eBay.

Use eBay selling tips and research the internet to become knowledgeable in the area of selling on eBay before you start. There are so many great resources about eBay selling. Check out About.com eBay information articles for a large amount of eBay information; especially if you are new to eBay and are eager to start selling.

When setting up your office in order to begin working at home as a seller on eBay, there are several lists that I find you should have printed out and hanging in your office space for quick reference. First, I suggest you print out a copy of the eBay rules for sellers. Second, definitely display a list of eBay seller fees for quick viewing. These fees will be helpful when you are determining your listing fee for an item. There are many resources on the eBay site that can be helpful in learning about the eBay selling process and will make your transition to becoming a great seller a smooth one.

Keep a couple things in mind when beginning to work from home as an eBay seller;

Make a professional profile: Spend time on your profile and make it professional and gear it toward the type of items you will be selling. Add as much information as you can. No one wants to purchase items from someone they do not have enough information on.
Listings: Spend time when listing your items. Take professional looking pictures that are clear and are a true representation of the item you are selling.
Gain trust: Gain trust of buyers on eBay and grow your positive feedback. One way to gain trust from buyers is to be 100% truthful when listing the items; which includes the description and photo that represents the item for sale. Communicate with buyers in a fast and efficient manner.
Perks for buyers: Offer different perks for buyers-free shipping, combined shipping if they want to buy multiple items from your auctions, gift sales and gift wrapping, returns policy etc.
Be Professional: Ship out your sold item as quickly as possible after receipt of payment. If you want to receive positive feedback you must be quick and efficient with your eBay business.
Auction information: If you decide to self your items on eBay using the auction option, then you must pay attention to the auction information. It can mean the difference of selling an item or not selling an item or even the exposure an item gets depending on the length of time or ending day of the week that you have set up your auction.

If you are looking into working from home and exploring all options and you have a knack for retail and customer service, definitely explore becoming a seller on eBay. Register for an eBay Seller account today.
