What is a Virtual Assistant

Basically, a Virtual Assistant (VA) is someone who works doing task remotely.

Virtual Assistants do tasks that businesses or people do not have time to do or do not want to do, or simply do not know how to do. Technology has changed everything, and as a result VA’s are in demand by entrepreneurs and online businesses.

So many successful small businesses these days rely on virtual support, especially for specific tasks, such as marketing and social media management. If you are a entrepreneur who is feeling overwhelmed, then you would love having a VA!

What are some of the jobs can a Virtual Assistant do?

– Social Media management
– Email management
– Email automation
– Website building and upkeep
– SEO and Pinterest management
– Blog management
– Email marketing
– Project manager

These task are only some of the tasks Virtual Assistants can do, but they can do whatever is needed. VA’s can not do a coffee run (like I used to do back in the day, LOL), but they can do almost anything else an assistant can do! This kind of flexibility makes working with people who are in different time zones easy. It also gives both the clients and the Virtual Assistant flexibility.
