Be careful in making money applying virtual assistant because some will not be serious with you, they will just give you hope and some will scam you. The one that I applied message me in my e-mail, then told me that I have an interview in skype. He told me that before the interview I should answered questions through mail, lots of questions, Now my inbox is flooded with his marketing mail, he did no give me exact date to make interview on skype. I think he just used my e-mail to scam me with his product online. Now my private and precious e-mail inbox receives worthless e-mails from him.

You're welcome! You may also continue looking for same job offer while waiting for his response. There are a lot of job posts. Be sure to always check for reviews about the job that you're applying for. I always believe that reviews whether good or bad can really help us decide if we'll continue applying for the job or not.

I think it depends on whoever you made contract with.
Try Freelancer or odesk cause my friend earns there as a virtual assistant

Ah I have read about those kinds of virtual-assistant related emails in my sister's inbox. I thought it was for real but my sister just ignored them.

hi jaderamirez,
your post is a good admonition to all especially to those people who are doing their best to have an earnings. perhaps try to classify that email as a spam so that it will go straight to your spam folder. then you can set the duration as to when that spam message be automatically clear out. so it can also be deleted automatically. anyway, take care on your next sign-up so that your time and effort will not be wasted. aside from that, be careful in selecting earning sites as sometimes, they are just fronting it with a big burst of income but in reality, they does not really give what is due to you. sometimes, it is better to have those small dollar earning site wherein you are sure of having an income rather than those promising you with a big one.
