The good thing about multi tasked and trainable Virtual Assistant is that they can learn new stuffs and task right away. Especially if you have the right tools and resources for the new task.

Virtual assistants are almost all over the world working from home. Mostly, virtual assistant can be found from different freelancing sites like oDesk.com, Elance.com, Guru.com and etc. I also visit Onlinejobs.ph and it is a great way to look for a competent virtual assistant for a low cost. However, if you are hiring virtual assistants from job sites like Moster.com you will probably miss a great chance of hiring the right one for the job. Here are some hiring mistakes ( https://www.staff.com/blog/hiring-on-monster-is-it-a-mistake/ ) that you don’t want to do in your business.

Wasn’t it very tempting to accept as many jobs as we thought we could handle? Specially when our mindset was more jobs = more income. Ahh… the mistake of newbies! I, myself, have committed that as well and almost got sick and burnt out from lack of rest. Thank you for sharing your experience.

You’re welcome, Lawrence Perry! It’s an honor to have received a positive comment from one of the pioneers and most reputable virtual assisting companies in the Philippines. I remember constantly checking out your website along with other more well-known VAs’ when I was still building my business. Thank you for providing inspiration to other VAs!

Thank you for your nice comment. I visited your site and I wish you success on your business as well. Yes, there are many Filipino VAs who start ar around $4 per hour. I started at that rate as well and went up the VA ladder over the years by continually learning and honing new and diverse skills – which I firmly believe is crucial if one wants to stay ahead of the competition. I am happy that there are many Filipinos jumping ship to the VA world. To our success!

Hi Rain,

Mistake number 3 tops my list. Back when I was still starting, I took on so many jobs at a time, I hardly met any of my deadlines. This resulted to low feedbacks. I’ve since learned my lesson and am now limiting myself to just 2 clients at a time.

Thank you so much for including my site on your list! I only just discovered it this week and I am so pleased that you liked it.

I was having a discussion with a marketing expert this week and we both agreed – a person will look at your website for about 3 seconds and know instantly whether or not they want to read further – or shut you down. Branding your business and having professional looking sites is just SO important! On another note – I’ve just updated my website! I’ve kept the same branding style and colours – but revamped the whole thing to make it even BETTER. I hope you like it!XOLisa

Hi Kathie. My experience is so little as compared to yours and I am thrilled that VA experts such as you took the time to comment on my post. When I was writing this post, I was thinking of helping the Filipino Virtual Assistant community. I’ve had my fair share of mishaps especially when I was starting out and I feel that the more I share my experience, the more new VA’s out there will learn from it.

All good advice. I’ve been a VA now for over 17 years and find that people are still finding out about this industry of ours. It is constantly evolving and growing and it’s good to see that there are many established VAs out there willing to assist the newbies in the community.
