Cari On...: Freelance Jobs...Virtual Assistants

One of the first things to do when deciding on a freelance career is to decide what you want to do. Are you leaving a career and want to stay in that field as a consultant? Do you want to try something new but need training or certificates or even a college education? Did you enjoy something when you were younger, still have the skills, and want to try it again?

When I started thinking about wanting a freelance career, I remembered that I enjoyed admin work (secretarial) when I was a teenager and into my early 20s. I then started doing searches on virtual assistants. These positions vary from being task-oriented to being responsible to a person or company. You can find positions on Indeed, Upwork, Freelancer, Guru, Flexjobs and other sites. Below is a list of some of the companies who hire virtual assistants:

Contemporary Virtual Assistance: The pay starts at $10/hour and you must be available to work at least four hours Monday through Friday (9am-5pm EST). You will receive training and may be available for advancement after the 90-day trial period.

Fancy Hands: I work for this company. It is task-oriented and it's easy to navigate their site. Once approved, you can choose tasks that interest you. The 20-minute tasks pay $3.00-$4.00. If the task takes longer than that, then you can request for more time to complete which then brings more compensation. The requests vary from research, phone calls, reservations, transcription, typing, spreadsheets, and more. I enjoy working for Fancy Hands.

Zirtual: They are not always hiring, so you'll have to check back periodically.

Belay Solutions: They are not always hiring, so you'll have to check back periodically. They also hire content writers, webmasters, and bookkeepers.

Worldwide101: The pay is between $18.00-$20.00 depending on experience and you are assigned a client (or clients) and must be willing to work at least 25 hours a week during regular business hours.

Time,etc: Along with virtual assistants, they hire writing assistants, social media assistants, and telesales assistants. The application process is extensive and they don't always instantly approve.

Firegang: This is a dental virtual assistant company that pays $15.00-$17.00 per hour depending on experience. You must be available 15-25 hours per week and provide a wide variety of admin and bookkeeping skills particular to dentist-office needs.
