Virtual Assistant Career Path
If you are already working as a Virtual Assistant, you know the benefits and joys of working for yourself and helping other companies succeed. You set your own hours, pay and services to offer.
Chances are you have been a bit frustrated as well. Virtual Assistants cannot charge a very high hourly rate because they are competing with people all over the world willing to do virtual tasks at a low rate.
Your challenge to building a successful virtual assistant practice is to find enough clients at a high enough rate that you are pleased with your income and able to enjoy life.
If you are already a Virtual Assistant who is fluent in English and you are already doing marketing activities for some of your clients, you should absolutely upgrade your offering by becoming a Virtual Buzz Assistant.

When you become a Virtual Buzz Assistant, you may be leaving some of those mundane tasks behind. But because you are adding specialized marketing tasks that are important to the organization every month, you will have more long-term, higher income projects over time. And you can keep working as a general VA for some clients if you want – it is up to you.
Check out the benefits you get.
To call yourself a Virtual Buzz Assistant, you must be a current member of our network and pass free certification in Buzz Marketing Ethics.
Let me share one story with you to help you decide if joining our Virtual Buzz Assistant Network is right for you.
I frequently outsource things to help me run my business successfully. I have requested Virtual Assistants before, but have never hired one. Why?
Take a look at it from the side of a potential client. I have hired virtual book keepers. I have hired virtual graphic designers. I have hired virtual technology teams and virtual tech support. I have never hired a Virtual Assistant because I do not know exactly what to do with them. Being a general assistant makes it confusing. I certainly do not trust a general Virtual Assistant to do customer contacts or marketing.
I WOULD trust a certified Virtual Buzz Assistant. They focus on marketing issues every day, and they know how to add value to my marketing effort.
If you think about hiring a Virtual Assistant from the client point of view, you can see that being a specialist is much better.
