About this project

Open

Virtual assistants provide remote support to their clients and typically work at home. As a virtual assistant, you help with day-to-day administrative and business tasks. Virtual assistants can have a wide range of responsibilities depending on their skills and what the client needs. This can be a full-time or part-time job, depending on the client.

On the administrative side, you may be in charge of meeting scheduling, data entry, travel or activity planning, or bookkeeping. Some virtual assistants also handle business responsibilities like social media management, market research, creating presentations, and digital marketing.

Virtual assistants need a combination of hard and soft skills like organization and communication, as well as software like Excel and QuickBooks. Some of the most in-demand services for virtual assistants are customer service, internal email communication, social media management, and reporting.

Project overview

Clients could also ask that you transcribe a handwritten note or PDF. Being able to type quickly (high wpm with accuracy) is a highly valued skill that can help you earn more as a transcriptionist. Client needs generally fall into four different types of transcription work: edited, verbatim, intelligent, and phonetic. You may need additional training and certifications if you want typing work in a specific field like legal transcription or medical transcription.
