A virtual assistant (VA) is an online assistant who typically works for a small business owner, a blogger or even a large corporation. While some VA jobs will require you to be available during certain times of the day, others will be more flexible and let you work as you please, as long as you get the work completed. Job duties can include responding to emails, helping with the website, editing images, email marketing, social media management and more.
To get a virtual assistant job, you can scour job boards and freelance writing sites, just like you would if you wanted to be a freelance writer. You can also reach out to blog and website owners that you think you would be able to assist. If they don’t need your services, ask them if they know of anyone who would.
