This is a discussion group for Virtual Assistants!

Virtual Assistants are those of us, who work from our home, providing professional secretarial/administrative support to individuals and/or small businesses!

A few of the many services provided by VA's include:

Word processing, desktop publishing, website design/maintenance, transcription (medical, legal and verbatim), proof reading, marketing suport, email and fax managemeent, writing and editing, mass mailings, bookkeeping, event and meeting planning, database management, and much, much more!

This chat forum is NOT for asking for work. This forum is for learning about the VA industry and how to develop a VA business. We are just like a Help Desk but with a social side to the group. PLEASE NOTE - if you are not prepared to identify yourself and your interest in this VA forum, your request will be rejected.

This list is about business operators who work as VAs and not employees. There is a difference between a Virtual Assistant and a Virtual Worker. See Virtual Assistant or Virtual Worker?
