Hi
I find your suggestion that working as a Virtual PA is an “easy” way to make money online very interesting, because I disagree entirely…
It is a very GOOD way to make money online if you have the right skills and determination, but it’s NOT easy!
How can I say that with such conviction? I am a Virtual PA.
Working as a Virtual PA (which I do) isn’t an easy way to make money, online or otherwise. Like any other professional business it takes time, hard work and careful marketing – otherwise what you actually do is bring the reputation of the entire industry down.
The skills a Virtual PA brings to a business can be the difference between succes and failure of that business, as their work is often what customers see first…
If anyone reading this is thinking of becoming a Virtual PA, then please for all our sakes (but particularly for the sake of your future clients) make sure you have the appropriate skills. If you do, then good luck – and if I can help you in any way then just ask!
