3 years ago, I think that was also around when mylot had some problems. A friend of mine introduced the world of Virtual Assistance to me. I didn't realize that people have been earning from the internet!
All i know back then was earning from mylot and that's it. When my friend shared it with me I was amazed at how amazing it all was! My first client was from the US and she was soooo kind and I learned a lot from her. I learned the ropes of working remotely and from there my virtual assistance career kicked off.
I worked for her for about a year and then had a new client (who is my client till now) and she's quite amazing.. I have been working online now full time!! :)
I can pay for all our bills, cover groceries, pay for tuition fees, and even SAVE!!! But yes I am also still employed offline (company in the PH) but I will be resigning and ends on July 30. So I am looking forward now to a new phase of my life!!!
Loving it!!!

I started with Odesk for my first client after that I juggled quite several clients at a time all through Odesk! It was fun but later on I looked for a full time one who agreed we could take the payments out side of Odesk (upwork now) it saved us the fees ;) Odesk is charging now 20% of the earnings!! arrghh
I work as a general VA, mostly doing admin tasks but for this current client I am her social media manager handles her IG, Facebook, Twitter and also does graphic designs for her and blog management..so our fee now is fixed rate too :)

@Letranknight2015 Nope. There's actually quite a lot you can offer. I specialize in Social media management, I handle my client's Social media pages ;) quite fun actually as I pretend to be her when answering and when posting hehe! So I also had to learn about her business.
But when I started, I was a general VA, mostly research jobs.. client would give me list of companies and I would search for their contact info and place it in spreadsheets. I also do graphic editing and video editing too. :) I try to grow my skills as much as possible.
