Thank you for posting this. You literally created a checklist for me to observe to see if I am improving as a VA. Improvement for me is adding up to my already developed skills so I can offer more than just one service to my clients.

Hi Angie,

I’m a CPA in NV and would like to start a as a Virtual Assistant.

What would you recommend?

What training did you take to learn about the VA business?

Thanks!

In reply to Joan bowers. You should never offer a service of which you can't provide excellent results. Assess your skills and interests. Pick up additional training in your preferred areas if necessary.

Hey Angie! That was a long great list. This just proves that VAs are competitive professionals who provide support services through VOIP–with minimal supervision. I just can imagine the things I can offer as a VA. Thanks for the ideas. I was frankly trying for a small business but I changed my mind. Thanks

In reply to Angie Nelson. Thank you so much Angie! what about taxes and the legal part of being a freelancer? Do you report your income when doing federal taxes or is it something that needs to be taking care of from the start?

This is a great list! What do you think I will need to start a translation virtual assistant business? I need an extra part time job that won’t require much investment. Currently I work at a Hospital and not necessarily as a translator, but I get phone calls from different floors/departments to help with interpretation, I love to help but I feel like I need monetary recognition for using my skills. ThanksAngie!!! 🙂

Whoa, I always figured they did a few different things, say around 5-10, but never would have guessed over 50! Nice list 🙂

I am so happy to see this list! I just graduated college with my degree in elementary education at a time when teaching jobs are slim. I am a 42yr old mother of four married to a small college coach – I desperately need a way to make money now that I’m done with school and have student loans looming overhead. I have been considering doing these types of jobs, but now I have the information I need to get started and a lot of extra ideas on services I can provide! Thank you Angie!

In reply to Anna. Thanks, Anna. One thing I love about this business is the diversity. You don't *have* to do the same thing day after day, but you certainly can if you'd like.

The job description of a virtual assistant is very broad. I’m a virtual assistant and didn’t even know it, lol. This list just gave me some ideas on how i’m going to edit my resume.

It seems the possibilities here are basically endless! I’m really glad you posted this because so many people who want to work from home are interested in starting their own businesses and don’t even consider virtual assisting. I think it would be ideal because there’s a great number of different services you can offer, which you outlined above. A person could narrow things down to his/her specialties, advertise those services, and hopefully start getting clients. Very interesting!
