4. A Virtual Assistant is Just a Secretary.

In the early days, VA’s were contracted to do personal assistant and secretarial work. But as the industry exploded in popularity in the new millennium, you can find a VA for virtually any skill your business needs:

• Accounting
• Website Design
• Social Media Marketing
• SEO
• Content Writing
• Graphics Design
• Transcription
• Human Resources
• Telemarketing
• CRM Administration

The industry has become more dynamic that VAs are alternatively referred to as freelancers, home-based workers and telecommuters. Collectively, they all mean the same thing: professionals who work from home.
