If you have some experience working as an office manager or administrative assistant. Working from home as a Virtual assistant could be the job for you! As more and more companies are reducing staff to cut costs. General administration and basic customer service requirements are still needed!  Virtual assistants can provide excellent opportunities for business to save money.

The key steps you need to successfully establish yourself as an virtual assistant are;

• Build yourself a home office. This is essential and I don't mean the dining room table. You will need a clear working space to include, PC, printer, dedicated land line, phone, office essentials, pens, paper, envelopes etc. Storage area for files and other documents.
• Are you qualified? Find out if you need to top up on any new skills or courses. The extra skills will do you good and may give you an advantage over someone else. I.e you could get some extra training in sage accounting.
• Write up some information on what virtual services you can offer and research prices in your local area or beyond.
• Be prepared to sign a non-disclosure agreement when you are due to be hired. This is pretty much the norm these days, that ensures your clients work is not shown or shared around other clients.
• Think about advertising and marketing your new venture. You will need business cards, marketing information, and a website.
