Make great money while you work at home as a virtual assistant. A few qualities to ask yourself before becoming a virtual assistant is:

Am I organized?
Am I an accurate typist?
Am I a quick typist?
Do I like talking on the telephone?
Do I work well independently?

If the answer is “yes” to all of these questions, you may make great money while you work at home as a virtual assistant.

Your duties as a virtual assistant may include talking to customers and your boss on the telephone. Make sure you have a cell phone plan with a lot of minutes as most likely you will be in a different state than your boss and most of your customers. You will probably have a lot of data entry to type into the computer so being an accurate and quick typist is very helpful. Being organized is imperative. If you were to work in an office you would need to be organized. Organization and working independently will help with getting the job done correctly and prioritize what needs to be taken care of first.
