I opened the newspaper and there it was The article that would change my life

It was called 'How to stay at home and earn a full-time income as a Virtual Assistant'

Quit the day job and freelance from home? Yes, please!

At that time, I was feeling stifled, unfulfilled and unmotivated in my corporate office job I had been an Executive Assistant for years, and life had become one predictable 9-to-5 day after another I had always wanted to run my own show and be my own boss Working from home would be the icing on the cake!

Soon, my evenings and weekends were devoted to finding out more about this exciting new opportunity I transitioned gradually into working full-time from home as a Virtual Assistant and achieved this within a year I have never looked back and finally feel rewarded, challenged and satisfied in my virtual career

Thanks to the internet, it has never been easier to work from home People all over the world are setting up home based businesses out of a desire for independence, flexibility and control over their destiny

All of these new business owners could potentially use the services of a Virtual Assistant, without having to take on an employee

So, how do you become a Virtual Assistant? Here are five steps to help you on your way:

Step One: What is a Virtual Assistant?

The first step to becoming a Virtual Assistant is to truly understand what one is and does The industry is still quite new and many people don't quite understand what the concept is The best way to describe the Virtual Assistant role is to briefly explain what I did this week

Working from my home office with several different clients, I:

* typed up some reports for a consultant and emailed them back

* prepared a Powerpoint presentation for a speaker who was presenting at a conference overseas the following day, emailed it to him and uploaded it to his website

* designed and organized the printing of a flyer for a singer who has a performance coming up

* set up and sent out a newsletter for a finance broker

I did all this without seeing or meeting any of the clients: we spoke on the phone and/or emailed each other Some of my clients are local, some are long distance

Think of the Virtual Assistant as a freelance administrator, designer, organizer, desktop publisher, researcher, editor, typist, secretary, co-ordinator, all rolled into one!

Rather than being an employee, a Virtual Assistant is an independent contractor Clients enjoy the flexibility of using Virtual Assistant services as and when they require, without having to pay a regular wage and employee benefits

Step Two: Carry out a Self-Assessment

The beauty of becoming a Virtual Assistant is that you get to decide what work you want to do You can create your own unique business, based on your skills and experience

Analyze your current and previous work experience Write everything down, no matter how 'minor' you think it is

Are you a good typist? Are you a natural at organizing events? Can you design flyers and brochures? Do you write letters on behalf of your boss? How about research - are you good at digging around for information?

These are all skills that you can translate into services for your clients

You may feel that you need to take further training in certain skills, and that's fine too

Step Three: Plan your way to success

This is the step that many people shrink back from However, it doesn't have to be a lengthy or formal business plan At the very least, you need to outline a plan on paper covering aspects such as your goals, business name ideas, hourly rates, licences/permits, services you're going to offer, what equipment you need to buy, and so on

The main thing is not to get too caught up on getting it perfect Your business plan will change and evolve as your business grows Think of it as a roadmap that will keep you on the right track for your freelance business Fake Watch.

Step Four: Get Those Clients Flocking!

One of the first questions you'll be asking yourself is 'How am I going to get clients?'

There are several ways you can market your Virtual Assistant business and get your name out there:

* Networking: go along to your local Chamber of Commerce meetings and get talking to fellow business owners I have found that this is one of the best ways to meet clients Don't forget your business cards!

* Word of mouth: tell everyone what you're doing Sooner or later, your friends, relatives, and first clients will recommend you to others

* Get a website: one of my largest ongoing clients found me through my website As you're working virtually, you'll be expected to have an online presence Replica Watches. Yves Saint Laurent Shoes.

* Participate in online discussion forums: there are forums on the internet where small business owners 'meet' to discuss challenges, offer advice and so on

* Register with online business directories and Virtual Assistant networks

* Write articles that your target market would be interested in Submit them to online article directories to establish credibility and get valuable exposure

Step Five: Keep the momentum going

Once you've got your first clients and business is starting to take off, the key is not to become complacent Keep your existing clients happy by providing outstanding customer service, establish good systems to keep a healthy cash flow coming in, and look after your health and wellbeing!

These are the steps that I followed to become a successful Virtual Assistant and work from home full-time If you would love to gain control of your life and skip that daily commute, why not take your first step today?

The Problem of Time Management

Perhaps you already manage an internet home business, and
are aware of how time consuming it can be - often against
your will Replica Watches. Each of us has 24 hours in a day and your
internet home business could be robbing you of time with
your spouse and your children and friends, to listen to
music, to read books, or to enjoy a multiplicity of other
interests What can you possibly do?

What was described in the first paragraph is a typifies a
time management paradox Millions of internet home business
owners, feel that they are not in complete control of their
time, or of their lives, leaving many feeling miserable Yves Saint Laurent Shoes. In
this condition, you will never be truly happy, no matter
how rich you are or how much recognition you receive

Managing Your Time Properly

The cardinal rule of time management is this: Set your
priorities In life, few things are more important than
setting your priorities, since they form the foundation for
allocating the time to spend on each area of your life You
must identify exactly what you want in life, and determine
to spend more time on those things that you feel are most
important

In the immortal words of Goethe, "Things that matter most
must never be at the mercy of things that matter least" If
your internet home business isn't the most important thing,
you should begin to scale down the time you personally
spend on it You can either 1) get someone else to do the
job for you; or 2) install automation to handle the
repetitive tasks Remember: You own your home business; it
doesn't own you Replica Watch.

Time management gurus tell us that most people don't really
work all the time that they are at work They may spend an
hour here chatting with officemates, another hour there for
lunch, and another utterly distracted This causes work to
pile up and challenges to surface at a later time

To avoid this, work all the time you're at work on your
internet home business Definitely take breaks whenever you
need them, but don't take more than time than you need to
Focus on the task at hand to get it done more quickly and
free up more time for the other things you want to do
