The only thing that is permanent in this world is change. Did you know that we are now living in an age called the digital age? There is much digital technology all around us.
Did you also notice that today, access to the Internet is no longer an exclusive privilege but something that is available to everyone?
In fact, everyone has a Facebook account nowadays, which only tells us that everyone is actually able to easily go into the online world.
Even the kind of work that we do now is no longer about labor or physical work. In our world today, yes, there is a need for physical labor, but there is actually a much bigger need for services.
And these different services that the world needs don’t have to be provided or done in a physical store, physical site or office, or in a physical marketplace.
These services are actually being provided online. And this is where the important work of a virtual assistant comes in.
Have you heard of the term virtual assistant?
A virtual assistant is an administrative personnel or personal assistant to an individual or to an organization. Virtual assistants are in charge of administrative tasks like making phone calls, responding to e-mails, doing research for a business, compiling data, and preparing presentations.
They have good oral and written communication skills, and a talent in management and administrative tasks.
And the best part is that a virtual assistant works remotely, meaning he or she can work at home, or even anywhere in the world. A virtual assistant is not confined in the four corners of an office cubicle. All a virtual assistant needs really is a laptop and Internet access.
Do you know that you can also make money by being a virtual assistant?
I run my entire operation under this business model.
As a matter of fact, I have over 30 virtual assistants working for me. They are located all over the country and even abroad. I am able to hire the best of the best at a fraction of a cost, since most of them are just part-timers.
They have their own day job and working for me as an additional income. Some of them are earning from a low of P5,000 per month to a high of P50,000 per month part-time.
What are the qualifications of a virtual assistant?
You know, many people today are working in a workplace that doesn’t seem to utilize their unique gifts and talents.
Many people do work that is not in line with who they are as a person. Many people are getting tired and being on the edge of burning out because the current tasks and projects that they have at work don’t seem to bring out their strengths, but only their weaknesses.
Does this ring a bell? Do you think that the same situation applies to you? What if I told you that there’s a way for you to get into a line of work that is able to utilize your unique set of skills, talents, and gifts?
- Are you the type of person who is highly articulate, having excellent oral and written communication skills?
- Is your strength being able to manage tasks excellently?
- Do you also have exceptional organizational skills?
- Are you confident in the way that you speak and carry yourself?
- Do you have a high energy a positive attitude towards people and life in general?
- Do you also have a good learning attitude? Meaning you’re always willing and eager to learn?
