Virtual Buzz Assistant

One industry that has been devastated by outsourcing is medical transcription.  Medical transcription jobs have gone overseas, and I talk to people all the time that tell me about how their great work at home job has dried up.

While you could try to come up with other another great work at home job, the truth is that if you can do it from home, you could do it from a home in in India or the Philippines as well.  Personally, I do not see anything wrong with that either – we all want cheaper products and services, so we need to save.

What Home Based Business Cannot Be Sent Overseas?

A medical transcription job can easily be sent overseas because they only require data entry.  Sure, we could argue about accuracy and such, but lets not.  Lets just say that a vast majority of the medical transcription jobs are gone.

What can you do to replace your job that will not be gone in a year as well?

Let me be the first to say that Virtual Assistants are cheap and overseas.  No arguement there.

However, if you are trying to get marketing results, cheap overseas virtual assistants will rarely be able to bring the cultural understanding and English fluency that is required to sell to the American audience, and represent serious businesses if a positive and professional light.

I hear from businesses every week that want to have affordable representatives help them with Internet marketing and they must write well and understand the industry and culture.  Our network gets frequent requests from these kinds of serious businesses that care about their image enough to spend more on writers and virtual buzz assistants with the cultural background that helps them connect with their target audience.

This does require Internet Marketing skills and strong organizational abilities, but this is a service you can offer that will not go away like the medical transcription jobs have.

Joining our network is one option if you want a fast start to build this kind of business for yourself.  If you decide to do something else instead, good luck and just make sure you pick something that will not go the route of the medical transcription business.
