  1. 101 Virtual Jobs You Can Start Today thelifestylemarketer.co/101-virtual-jobs-can-start-today/ Whether you

    call them Virtual jobs, Virtual assistant jobs, work from home jobs or if you call your self a Virtual Assistant, a VA, a Digital Nomad or even a Mompreneur supplying an online service is one of the fastest ways to generate an online income. In this post I want to look at 101 112 jobs you can do online, although I over time there will be a lot more added. Contents [hide] 1 101 Virtual Jobs Defining Virtual Jobs I don’t particularly like the term virtual jobs as it tends to give the impression of it being less that a “Real Job“. Being a virtual assistant, digital nomad or whatever you want to call it is just as valid a job as any other in fact I would go as far as to say that these jobs are the future and Virtual Workers are the pioneers. I define a virtual job as being any skilled task that can be performed by a location independent person. You are in every way a freelancer. 1/8
  2. Throughout this article I’ll mix and match the terms virtual

    worker, virtual assistant, service based business, virtual jobs etc. They all pretty much mean the same thing and are performed in the same manner. Getting The Biggest Bang For Your Buck Many Virtual assistants get work through sites like Upwork People Per Hour and Fiverr while this is a way of getting work I would recommend leaving these sites as a last resort. While there is no doubt that you can pick up a lot of work on these sites they do take a healthy chunk of your income and you are in competition with many other virtual workers some of whom have much lower living costs than you and who can happily “low ball’ their offers. The solution to this is to work directly with clients, this isn’t difficult but it does require you to have a framework in place which includes a landing page and communication channels. All this is simple to achieve, my wife has been a content writer for 8 years a few weeks ago she decided to create a new service and it 3 hours to build it… yes just 3 hours. Within 8 hours of starting to spread the word she had her first clients. The upsides of creating your own service business and promoting it yourself are many. You will be earning much more. You have a business that you can quickly scale and grow. You have a business that can be sold on You have a client base that you can connect with when you add new services You have clients that can help you get new jobs. Want to Build Out Your Own Service Business ? It’s quick and easy to set up.. Click the Image below What Services To Offer? The services you offer can range for the simple to the more complicated, from installing a plugin to creating a complete website. You are only limited by your skills. 2/8
  3. Too many people just assume that they can only offer

    mainstream skills like creating graphics and content writing far from it, there are thousands of services people need every day. Before you start take time to list every skill you have and every software tool you’ve used. You’ll be surprised at what skills you have. One of the first tasks I do with clients I mentor is to list their assets this include both tools and things they own and also skills they have. I’ve never had one person not be surprised at the end. For example if you can use mindmapping software to turn concepts and ideas into plans you can sell that service. Find The Services You Can Offer Create a Landing page Find Clients Communicate with them 101 Virtual Jobs Let’s get started with listing the jobs, i’ll try to break them down into general broad categories then list related services you can offer.
