Being an assistant in an office can be unsatisfactory as it pays very little and the benefits are not all that much, just the basics for most. If one were a great assistant, then promotions could ante the salary but only slightly and the costs of travel or babysitting could place a dent on an already depleted salary.

If you as an assistant have had 5 years experience working in an office, thinking about becoming a virtual assistant could be a logical choice. Not only will it keep you home and the bills down, but it could earn you money and if there are more than one client, then the money could be doubled.

The only thing about being a virtual assistant is that there would be no benefits of insurances like those of the regular employee as this would become contractual work. However, with the salary earned from working online could outweigh the all other choices.

Virtual assistants (VA) are very few in the world, around 35,000 only, but, this does not mean that you are not going to join the ranks. With the financial instability for the past two years, more and more companies hire only VAs as an effort to cut employment costs. If you win a contract as a VA for a company, then you would have earned your independence from unreliable companies.

There are several sites in the internet that could help you out in applying for jobs. Simply log in to a service provider site like Guru or Freelancer and the free registration will bring you one step closer. There are a lot of jobs posted there that could be viewed.

There is a demand for virtual assistants; there is no mistake about that. So to join the alternative employment ranks, go and venture out to the reliable provider sites and earn money from home without worrying about babysitting bills and travel expenses.
