Request Startup #001- Virtual Assistant

Virtual Assistant Startup from zero in 2020.

A Virtual Assistant (VA) can be any type of remote assistant who provides administrative, creative, or technical support services for online or brick-and-mortar business owners.

As a VA, you are an independent contractor. This means you set your own hours, work on your terms, and create your own systems for working (invoicing, payments, etc.).

There are a ton of services that you can offer in virtual assistance. You can provide general admin work, or become a specialist in one particular service.
