Making Money as a Virtual Assistant

September 5, 2008

First, I have to say that this post is not typical of every member of our Virtual Buzz Assistant Network.

How did one member launch a business and generate $4,000 per month in clients within the first 3 months?

When you join this virtual assistant network, it is not like eLance or Guru.com where you are competing with everyone in the world.  It is far fewer projects and far fewer marekting assistants.  So if you are proactive you can get some nice projects.  Generally I find that the active people do well, and other people sign up intending to use it but do not find the time and do not get the benefits.

So the story:  Four months ago one of our members quit his job.  He could not take it anymore.  (I would never advise doing that unless you already have other income.)

He asked me questions, formed his company, set up his website and used the Virtual Buzz Assistant Network to find clients and sharpen his skills.  Even though the summer was slow, he just closed his third client.  All three clients together are over $4,000 per month in reoccuring revenue as long as he does a good job with them.

I have started a few companies in my years, and I think his expereience has been exceptional.  His costs are low, his income is better than ever and now he is turning down projects.

The one thing he has not learned yet is how to scale the business.  He needs to stop turning down projects and outsource (after his cut) to other members of the network.  Otherwise his income will not stay consistant as clients come and go.

I am highlighting his success because it truly is exceptional and shows that you can do it with some luck and hard work.

Making Money as a virtual assistant is not easier than making money in a job.  But it can be more rewarding and more profitable.

- Thank You!

    The Internet is really revolutionizing the way work and hire today. Business can open and operate without any physical presence. All employees can work virtually and add value to the greater company presence.

Got something to say?
