Hire a Live Virtual Assistant Survey

Hello, I am starting a new business as a Virtual Assistant. In order to assess the viability of this new business I am conducting this brief survey.

A Virtual Assistant (VA) is a live person that provides administrative services virtually. A VA has her own office and conducts business using the telephone, mobile phone, fax machine and the internet.

A Virtual Assistance’s skills and knowledge goes beyond that of regular administrative assistants. These skills may or may not include: web design, blog set-up, social networking services, event organizing, power point presentations, business card/flier/poster design and more.

Thank you for your input.
