If you’re serious about becoming a VA, it’s important to be honest and open about your experience. It’s not really necessary to have a lot of experience to be able to do this job. Also visit https://www.webuyhomesinmemphis.com/ to check best home sellers with a cash option to purchase their property quickly—with NO Repairs, and NO Fees or Commissions. You just need to commit yourself to learning as much as you can about how to do the job. You need to understand how people communicate and how to communicate with people.

Yes, I've tried several VA jobs in the past, from SEO, Casting, Real Estate, and many other industries. I would say the compensation is really competitive. I eventually even earned more than what I was getting when I was in the corporate world where I used to be a Business Development Manager in an insurance company. Try applying to any industry you think your skills and time would fit.

You can create an account in onlinejobs.ph, myoutdesk.com.ph, elance.com and upwork.com. You can also check Jomar Hilario's page: http://www.ideasthatprosper.com/jomarhilariopresents/va2013-limited-time/ Unfortunately, I haven't attended any of his seminars so I can't comment about it.

thank you. will try that site you stated. cannot join any trainings as of the moment though if only they will conduct it in the province

You create an account/profile with Upwork and onlinejobs.ph and MyOutDesk. They are the most reliable and biggest platforms offering online jobs these days. I personally prefer direct hire kasi less hassle.

As long as you speak and write English fluently and has an excellent or let's say have passed the Odesk / Upwork English proficiency test, there will be a high possiblity that you will nail a VA job.

We have talents https://cloudtalents.com/ from 36+ countries for you to connect with. We provide staff augmentation in Digital Marketing, IT, Management and Administration, and Customer Care.

Top platforms for home based jobs include Upwork and Onlinejobs.ph, Just make sure to indicate your skills set para malaman mo din kung anong mga tasks and pwede sayo.

Try Upwork.com, combination na sya ng Odesk at Elance. :) Wala na kasing Odesk at Elance ngayon eh, they've joined forces na for Upwork. :)

Try upwork and make your exam grades higher so that employers will take notice of your profile.
