But before we get started, it’s important to understand a little more about what it takes to be a VA.

Virtual assistant job description

What’s great about being a virtual assistant is that the role is so varied.

Virtual assistants work with business owners, entrepreneurs, website owners, companies, bloggers, and a wide range of other organizations and individuals to assist them with a variety of tasks.

Generally, VA’s provide admin support and are responsible for taking care of any tasks that the client doesn’t have time for or requires assistance with.

Here are just some of the tasks that VA’s are responsible for:

• Scheduling appointments.
• Data entry.
• Sending and replying to emails/writing emails.
• Making phone calls.
• Social media management.
• Booking events.
• Making reservations.
• Paying bills.
• Creating or formatting spreadsheets.
• Organizing computer documents.
• Typing notes for meetings.

As you can see, VA’s have a lot of different responsibilities and the tasks they do will vary, depending on the client they’re working with.

For example, some clients may just want a VA to deal with emails and phone calls, whereas another client might just require data entry and others might want someone to assist them with their social media profiles.

What skills do you need to be a virtual assistant?

As we mentioned above, virtual assistant work really varies, depending on the client that you’re working with.

• Good grammar and spelling skills.
• Proficiency with office programs, like Excel and Word.
• Knowledge of platforms, like Dropbox or Google Drive.

Some clients might require prior experience, but many don’t.

For many jobs, you don’t even require any particular qualification, like a virtual assistant certification, or a degree – others, however, do require a qualification.

Virtual assistant salary

The amount virtual assistants earn varies, depending on the client they’re working with and also the tasks they work on.

According to PayScale, the average virtual assistant salary in 2017 sits at just under $16 per hour – or $15.56 to be exact.
