My Virtual Assistant Journey

Unknowingly that I might face a problem with Upwork; to my surprise when I opened my account, I saw a message saying that my account was suspended and I have to contact their support to know more details about the suspension. I hurriedly reached them, and I was so shocked that they suspended my account because I submitted several proposals that no client responded and with that, they said that I am sending proposals in which my skills do not match with the job posted.

However, I am informing you do not allow every opportunity pass by without even trying it. These days, jobs are readily available 24/7 online, and a lot of people are now working online. Some of them are young professionals, stay at home moms, and the like would want to work as a virtual assistant. To motivate you to work in this field. I listed six reasons why I love this kind of job. 1. I am a boss. In this kind of job, there is no employer-employee relationship. My clients are my business partners. They will hire me to do a specific task for them. Then, they will pay for the function I did for them. However, I am a boss in the sense that I can outsource an agent to do a certain for a job that my clients want. 2. I can earn dollars per hour.
