Virtual Assistant - FAQs

What is a virtual assistant?

A virtual assistant is the online equivalent of an office administrative assistant. As independent contractors, virtual assistants work for their clients off-site, performing a variety of administrative tasks. Common tasks include data entry, web design and maintenance, bookkeeping, word processing, and transcription. Many virtual assistants specialize in certain tasks. While I also offer administrative services, I specialize in writing, editing, and marketing services.

How are assignments communicated and completed?

Using my own office space, equipment, and resources, I receive and complete my assignments via e-mail, snail mail, phone, or fax. You dictate the project and the deadline - and I do all the work! What could be better?

Why should you hire a virtual assistant?

Hiring an experienced virtual assistant relieves you of the cumbersome, costly task of hiring and training an administrative assistant or using a temporary employee, paying additional fees to a temp agency. Instead, you get a qualified assistant with a vast range of education and experience, while only paying for the services you use.

How much do your virtual assistant services cost?

The cost of services varies based on the services needed, the complexity of the project, and the time frame in which it is needed. I typically charge by the hour for most of my services, but some services vary. Editing projects, for example, may be charged by the hour, by the page, or by the project. Articles are usually charged by the project or by the word. The price of each project is discussed prior to the completion of the work.

Do you offer discounts or special promotions?

I offer a 10 percent discount to students and to not-for-profit organizations. I also offer a Referral Rewards program for clients and associates who refer prospective clients to Virtually Yourz. For each referral, the client or associate receives one complimentary hour of service as my "thank you."
