Virtual Assistants
The purpose of this group is to educate people about the Virtual Assistant industry. According to the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA), the average small business owner spends up to 40% of their time on routine administrative tasks. The main goal of a Virtual Assistant (VA) is to make sure you do not wind up being apart of this statistic. Get your questions answered here!

Am offering transcription services to video bloggers and podcasters. Is there a good demand for this service, you think?

I've worked in the past as a virtual assistant and would like to find another job within the field. I've found some sites online, but am weary they may not be legitimate. Do you have any advise? In particular I'm interested in learning about becoming an author's assistant. Thank you!
LaTosha Johnson:
I would check into joining the Virtual Assistant Forums. I know some people who have found work using Elance and Guru too.

I am looking for work as a virtual assistant. I have experience with telecommuting in the past performing cataloging and indexing.
LaTosha Johnson:
Hi Amy,
I recommend joining forums such as the Virtual Assistant Forums (this is my personal favorite because it is free), VANA or IVAA.

Do you have questions regarding the types of tasks a VA can complete for you?
