Virtual Assistant - How They Can Be Useful

By Sarah Stephen

Virtual Assistants are professional and independent people who are highly trained to support the business needs in administrative, clerical, technical, marketing, creative, website development/maintenance services and day-to-day operations. VA's are Independent Contractors and they are not hired as regular employees. They usually have professional experience and deliver better results.

Virtual Assistants can pretty much do all the work that a regular employee would do. Virtual Assistants are not hired as regular employees. They are independent entrepreneurs who are hired on a contract basis.

Virtual Assistants are paid on an hourly basis ranging anywhere between $7-$15 per hour. Thus they are far more cost effective than a regular employee and the employer does not have to pay state unemployment taxes, Social Security, health insurance, vacation time, sick time, 401(k), profit sharing, Christmas bonus, and other benefits that he needs to offer a regular employee. It's like offering employers and business owners an attractive new alternative to hiring employees.

VAs help to meet the growing needs of a small business by virtually supporting it via phone, fax and internet based technology. In order to avoid feeling frustrated and out-of-time, or trying to play catch-up on both business and personal deadlines while neglecting time with family and friends,

NOW is the time to invest in a professional support circle. That is time spent you will never regret!
