OMG! There is so much to learn!

ME TOO!

Right! I like having multiple streams of income. If one fails, I won't be at a loss. I keep finding more things. So much to do! So little time!

Not having a commute is nice. But I do miss the camaraderie.

@KindredSoul I also worked online for more than 3 years now. We can still have camaraderie. However, it will be in a virtual way.

@Shavkat True, not the same. I enjoyed the human touch. My co-workers were friendly I liked the morning hugs and good-bye hugs at the end of the evening. They would bring me coffee, lunch and other treats because any assistance I offered. Good times!

Have you done data entry in your va career? If yes, then how? Was it difficult? Also what things did you do as a virtual assistant?

I don't know what you mean by the beginning. I've been self employed since I started doing the Virtual Assistant thing. I used to work with a real estate broker as an office coordinator. When I moved I was asked by many of my agents if I would continue working with/for them virtually. Not a tough choice there. So, yeah. I've been self employed ever since.

@Swayamsiddha Oh, goodness! Lots of questions. LOL! Okay... "Have you done data entry in your va career?" - Yes "If yes, then how?" - How ever I was requested to. Data entry can come in many forms. Fortunately for me, much of it had to do with Excel (my favorite program). I would often suggest using Excel as well so that it can be used as a database for future projects. I was working with people that didn't understand the benefits of Excel and it's uses. "Was it difficult?" - For me no. It may be a bit complicated for others, though. But, put me in front of a computer and I will explore all the nifty tools that I might have at my disposal! I cannot tell you how many companies I had worked for that did not realize the resource they had sitting on their desks and they would invest in costly programs that did tasks their Microsoft bundles could do. Oh, well! "Also what things did you do as a virtual assistant?" - Oh, boy! lots of stuff. Where to begin? Well, I would design flyers or fulfil other graphic needs. Create or do the upkeep on websites. Maintain social media accounts. Create databases. I just started dabbling in video editing again (something I haven't done in a great many years). Really, anything I could do on the computer in the office I could do at home. Oh, and I am still called on if someone as questions about a new phone. Not quite as easy to answer those questions when I'm 1000 plus miles away. LOL! I hope that was helpful. Feel free to let me know if you have any other questions.

You could be right!

@KindredSoul thats cool! When we are interested to learn, we feel young and of course, look young. I like how you see the world. We need more people like you.

Definitely! When we stop learning, we stop being curious about the world and each other...where is the fun in life? I'm often told I look younger than my son. I think it's how I look at the world that keeps me young.
