Hello Mylotter's!
I just want to share what's up with me these past few months since it seems that I was not able to update what I've been doing. Well, I am still running my online business. So far, so good.
But in the past six months, I started doing other jobs in order to keep myself busy. It also brought some extra income for me & my kids. As most of you know, I am a single Mom so I have to make sure everything's covered when it comes to finances.
Anyway, I am a Virtual Assistant now & it seems easy for me since I only have to do some tasks for my clients. It's so much different when I was doing jobs in call centers. I am able to do some administrative tasks which I find nice even if it sounds boring. In my situation, boring is good. I don't have to be so tired at the end of the day since I also have to attend with my girls after school.
Well, that's about it for now. I hope that everybody is having a great day or night wherever you are right now!

I work during day time since most of my clients are from Australia & NZ. It's paid per project so it depends on the duration.

@hereandthere I look for my own client from some VA websites. They send projects to be completed depending on the agreement.

Yes, it's better so that no traffic or long preparations just to go to the office.

@Janet357 That's right! Plus it's tiring when you have to go out to work. At least at home, I feel a lot more productive.

@Hannihar You're welcome! You have to make sure that you like what you will be doing as a VA & is skilled for it. That way, it will not stress you out as well.

I've often wondered about VA jobs...how they work and how they pay. Sounds like the perfect income source for you. I hope you have much continued success.

It's mostly administrative or secretarial job. The only difference is it's online. They normally pay via PayPal or bank transfer as well.

It's nice that you've found a job to fit your schedule. I'm a little averse to being a Virtual Assistant because I don't like to be tied to a project and deadlines. My sister asked my opinion about a course in being a virtual assistant. Did you have to take a course or anything like that to learn to be a virtual assistant?
