One of the reasons why many transitioned to become virtual professionals is the long hours of travel going to work.

Well, like me I've been twenty years away from my family working overseas. This is a great opportunity for me to work closer to my family. As a head of the family, I don't need to go far away from them anymore, in short I found peace as a virtual assistant.
As a virtual professional, the typical task might perform include scheduling appointments,making phone calls,making travel arrangement, managing email accounts, transcription, grahic design, blog writing, book keeping, correspondence, social media and marketing services.
All of these tasks require a lot of attention to detail, communication and skills. however there are also tasks that only need an internet connection to achieve, like working on non voice category.
The number one requirement in starting a virtual career is to have a work-from-home setup. This setup includes a laptop or a computer and an internet connection. You can begin your virtual career with these two and then grow from there. Next is to identify the skills that you can offer as services to clients. But, how about if you are new to this type of career? There are many ways to learn, such as watching tutorials from you tube,social media advertisement and there are also online courses that can guide you the most.
The third step is to know where to find clients. There are diverse ways to find clients, and you can find them on platforms like: Freelancing flatforms, facebook groups, linkedin, facebook agencies, google, referrals and in pinterest.
Did you know that the Philippines is the main country in the world for entepreneur and business owners to hire virtual assistant in? Being a Filipino virtual assistant has many tremendous benifits that often include the following:
. Flexibility (some employers have fixed work times, some don't)
. More time with family and friends
. No more commuting in the ever growing Philippines traffic.
. Prestige of directly working for a foreign company
. Companies and enterpreurs hiring virtual assistants delegate a variety of tasks.
These job gives the flexibility to work at home or anywhere you prefer, then becoming a virtual assistant is the right choice.
