6 Reasons Why I Love Virtual Assistant Work (And You Should, Too)

I believe, in our daily lives, we have an ocean of opportunity. We have to decide whether to dive into that chance or just let it pass. 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. The clients are basically from other parts of the globe; wherein mostly their currency is in dollars, and so the clients can pay me in dollars as well. When I convert my salary in dollars in the Philippine peso, it’s already a tremendous amount of money.

3. I can work at home. I always hear the saying that goes “There no place like home.” Primarily, my house is my comfort zone, and it is a place wherein I am eager to go and to stay because I know that my home is relaxing. It is a place wherein I can bond with my family. There’s no need to say goodbye to my kids every morning because I have to go to an office where I work physically. Also, I can work in any corners of my house; in the living room, in the bedroom or even in the garden. I can also do housework like laundry, mop the floor, cook meals, etc. while working at home.

4. I can have a flexible schedule. I can manage my program. I can attend any personal appointments and family gatherings. I am no longer worried to be absent in any family or social groups because I am now always present since I can choose when to work or even where to work.

5. I can choose the job that I want to do. Since jobs are posted online like Upwork; I get to decide what kind of task I want to do.

6. I can learn a lot of new skills. Sometimes people might think that I already learned a lot that I have lots of skills already. However, life for me is constant learning. There’s always hungry for knowledge. Having this kind of job helps me learn a different set of skills and eventually acquire those skills that help me grow as a person and as a service provider.

Moreover, there’s no easy job for easy money in this world. We can work hard because we have goals to reach. Thus, working as a virtual assistant is an opportunity that everyone can have. Many are already in this field. I did it, you also can.
