Create a virtual business.

The virtual business has been growing steadily since its inception in the 1990s. The growth and affordability of technology, along with the increase in the number of solo-entrepreneurs, have created a need for virtual support staff.

A virtual support business provides an opportunity to apply your administrative support skills to your home-based business. Virtual can perform most tasks, short of bringing coffee; however, once a coffee shop starts offering home delivery, a virtual can arrange for that as well.

Create your menu of services. Virtual do just about everything, such as writing, emailing, customer support, calendar management, bookkeeping, marketing, website maintenance, and project management. You should focus on the skills you have and enjoy doing. Also, you can offer one service, such as transcription, or you can provide many services.
