Most Virtual Assistants (VAs) have been raised in the corporate world. They may have been the victim of down-sizing, business closure or have an entrepreneurial spirit and have found an exciting way to utilize their skills and background in their own businesses. VAs are unlike temporary secretaries or services that provide one-time project help. They typically provide long-term assistance based on partnerships rather than the boss-employee relationship. Their services range from database management, bookkeeping, research, web site design/maintenance and writing/editing to computer assistance, project management, marketing and event planning -- unlimited only by the imagination of the VA and client. As business owners, Virtual Assistants charge anywhere from $35 to $70 per hour and set their fees based on their level of skills, their experience and the services provided.
