AyersVirtual also provides Virtual Assistant services, distinct and separate from contract web development work, for a small number of clients.
The term Virtual Assistant describes a profession which is new but growing rapidly. For today’s entrepreneurs and small business owners, using the Internet and telephone to collaborate with administrative assistants is a smart, efficient and cost-effective strategy. Having a Virtual Assistant allows the business person with only a basic physical office to benefit from the same support and help which previously required him to provide extra office space, a desk, computer, and telephone. Using an off-site administrative assistant also allows the small business owner to enjoy the services of an administrative assistant without having to deal with payroll, withholding, benefits, or compliance with Federal and State regulations.
I offer my clients a number of services in this capacity, including:
- Web design and development
- Set up and support for social networking
- Copy writing, editing, proofreading, word processing
- Contact database management
- Bookkeeping, accounts payable, accounts receivable
- Schedule management, interview and meeting arrangements, travel arrangements
- Internet research
I have specialized experience in working with writers.
So just how do we work together from two separate geographical locations? It’s really pretty simple. We communicate regularly by email and telephone. You provide me with the information and files I need, usually via the Internet, but of course using our fax machines and U.S. Mail, UPS or FedEx when necessary. I carry out the tasks you’ve entrusted to me, and deliver the finished work to you.
I offer my services as a Virtual Assistant with a minimum of 10 hours per month, in order that I can plan my schedule. My rate for VA work is $49/hour.
Please contact me if you’d like to discuss working with me in this way.
