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
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.
