Home Business- Virtual Assistant
by Jamie Edson Opielski

Looking to start your own home business? Not sure where to begin or what to do? Why not look into one of the most popular home businesses to date- The Virtual Assistant business. A Virtual Assistant is someone who works from home using their computer to do work for others. So basically you are a virtual secretary so to speak.
As a Virtual Assistant (VA) you will be able to control, for the most part, the hours you work, who you work for and how much money you will be able to make- charging by hour, project, weekly and even monthly. Some companies may also make an offer for your services.
VAs have an entire sea of 'niches' to choose and utilize. You may choose one particular service to offer or many services depending on your skills. You will never be limited to one field unless you want to be.
The first thing you need to decide is what services you want to offer to your potential clients. Do you have any past experience or skills that you can provide for them? More than likely you have skills that you don't even consider like talking on the phone, organizing, scheduling appointments and more.
As I mentioned before there are a sea of services: Administrative, Web Design, Bookkeeping, Mailing/emailing services, Editing and Proofreading, Copy Writing, Medical Billing, Internet Research, Billing, Transcribing and so much more.. Those are only a few!!
You will need to look into software and web sites to help you establish your presence on the World Wide Web. The software I personally use is ExpertVA. ExpertVA comes with a web site, software with features that help me stay organized and on top of my work as well as managing my clients. My clients also have their own personal login feature where they can submit work, check on the status of existing work, check billing and communicate with me.
ExpertVA also comes with great tools like ebooks and the Easy Start program that helps you start your business from
