See? There are several things you can do!

Some of these jobs are more advanced and would earn you an advanced pay to go along with it. Others are more basic but still pay quite well with the right company.

And, many VA’s will combine two or three of these to earn what they need.

For example, you could handle many personal items for a client (bill paying, travel management for the family, etc.) as well as take care of the company bookkeeping and accounting. It all ties together pretty well.

Think through what you and your family do in a day. Now think through what your company does in a day.

Small business entrepreneurs have to do all of these things combined. They need help to be successful. They are trying to manage everything on their own and many are failing to keep all of the balls in the air.

So, after thinking through what needs doing in a family and in business, think about those things that you could handle online, as well as in person.

Those things that came to mind are the exact items you can do for a business owner online right now.

So what should be your next step?

Honestly, I don’t really know.

Maybe you need to think about it a while.
Or, you may want to get online and learn a few new skills.
You could make a list of those jobs that interest you and look at job sites online and see if any are listed there.

Whatever you think, just know you have options.

Options to do what you already know or do something new and exciting.

You know what I said about not knowing what to tell you for your next step?

I was wrong.

I do know.

Your next step should be … take action because you now know what jobs you can really do as a Virtual Assistant.

Don’t keep waiting. Do something.

The world of working as a VA is waiting for someone just like you.
