There is one business that I know for a fact won’t go out of style or not be needed in the coming years if only for the simple fact that people are always on the move. In the last 10 years I’ve moved far more times than I would ever want to admit. Each time I found myself in a new town, I was lost. I had no idea where anything was, where the hangouts were, or what businesses were in the area. I’d always slowly find these things out, but it took time.

10 Reasons Why You Should Become A Virtual Assistant This Year

First of all, what is a virtual assistant (VA)? I like to explain it as a word processor gone wild. A VA is someone who works with clients, providing them with top quality support services without having to be physically present at a clients office. VA services are becoming more and more popular thanks to today’s technology such as email, the Internet, online instant messaging, fax, phone, and overnight delivery. Gone are the days of offices needing their support staff in the same building.

If you have a secretarial background or other support staff expertise and a love for computers and all the technology it offers, then here are ten very good reasons why you should start your own VA business this year.

1. Make An Income You Can Live On

It was reported by virtual assistant trade organizations that the average full-time VA working in the US would gross about $39,452 annually. Now that isn’t a bad income!

That is the type of money you can live on, even if you are a single mom.

2. The Need For VA’s Is Only Going To Get Greater

According to the George Washington University forecast of emerging technology, Virtual Assisting will become a $130 Billion Industry by 2008. Thanks to our growing technology, and the fact that it’s easier to just source out work to a VA due to the fact that a business doesn’t have to pay for any benefits when they out-source, this type of service will only get bigger and more in demand.

3. Are you feeling unfulfilled, unchallenged, and unmotivated? Is your current corporate job beginning to feel like a real drag?

Are you dreading getting dressed up, driving your commute to work, and working with a boss who is ungrateful and unappreciative? Do you love some parts of your job and despise other parts and wish you could do the parts you love more? Then becoming a VA might be something you need to look into.

4. Want to continue your professional working life without having to leave home?

Want the flexibility to work from home and have a better balance between work and life?

Maybe you’re thinking of having kids, or have had your first baby. You so want to continue your career, but you also want to spend more time with your children. Take a good hard look at the world of a VA. This type of home business will continue to give you the satisfaction of a career, while also offering you the ability to be there for your kids doctor appointments, their first step, school field trips, and running them around to after school events.

5. Gain the ability to work with people you want to work with.

Do you tend to click with certain types of people more than others? With a VA business, you can decide who you want your clients to be. Authors, salespeople, consultants, coaches, executives, entrepreneurs, and small business owners are just a few of the types of people you could work with.

6. The ability to do more than just one thing.

Looking for a little variety in your business? Don’t want to get stuck doing the same thing over and over again? Here is a list of just some of the things you can do as a VA.

7. The ability to Niche yourself.

Choose just a few of the ideas above and take it one step further. Niche yourself. You might already possess knowledge in a certain area. You can contact those businesses you are already familiar with and work with them. Maybe in the past you had worked as support staff for a marketing company. If marketing is your thing, you can let businesses know that you can not only be their VA and take care of all their typing and database applications, but that you can also use your expertise to help them market their business.

8. Use the equipment you already have.

If you’re reading this article, then there’s a good chance you already have a computer, a printer, and fax capabilities. Why not start putting that equipment to good use and make some money?

9. The choice between working full-time or part-time.

Maybe you don’t want to work full time, but you need to do something to call your own. That’s great! You’ll be your own boss; you can decide how much or how little you want to work.

10. Being able to say you love the way you make money.

If just the thought of working with your computer and current technology makes you giddy, why not make money doing something you love? Grab hold of the opportunity to make as much money as you’d like and the ability to work from your home. You have the opportunity to decide who you want to work with, the type of work you want to do or not do, and your niche area.

Have you ever given your young child some of your junk mail and told them it was their mail? Did you see how excited they got and how important they felt? My girls would all of a sudden act like they were very important and "read" their mail as if they were the next big hotshot executives.

One thing I enjoy about children is their honest expression of their emotions. Of course it isn't pretty when your child decides to throw the fattest tantrum in the middle of your grocery shopping experience but really haven't you felt like doing that yourself at times? Imagine how much better you'd probably feel if you felt that frustration, expressed it, and then got up, dusted yourself off, and went on your way?

Children have this marvelous way of feeling their emotions, something adults should look into a bit more themselves. I think that's why as adults we receive so much pleasure giving our little ones gifts. It sure feels good when a child you love and adore shows such happy appreciation for something you've given them.

There's a business out there you can get into that helps increase a child's self-worth and can make a child very happy. So much so you are sure to get repeat business from happy parents and relatives. And really, isn't that the best form of marketing, selling your product to your satisfied customers over and over again?

When I was a child, I loved Holidays, and actually still do to this day. Holidays are a magical experience. Then there is the experience of loosing a tooth or days a child is extra nice to their little brother and sister. They say positive reinforcement is the best way to remind a child how they should act. In the article "Why Positive Reinforcement Works," by Brenda L. Gargus, Brenda said, "Positive communication is a tool to reinforce good behavior and eliminate bad behavior; it builds self-esteem and inspires confidence in children."

What if you could actually start a business from home and your business was to increase a child's self-confidence, and offer a service where parents could use a form of positive reinforcement with their kids?

An online article at askdrsears.com talks about how self-esteem as a child effects your adult years. It explains that, "Self-esteem is your child's passport to lifetime mental health and social happiness. It's the foundation of a child's well being and the key to success as an adult. At all ages, how you feel about yourself affects how you act. Think about a time when you were feeling really good about yourself. You probably found it much easier to get along with others and feel good about them."

Bizyletters.com offers the above and a whole lot more. Some of you might have heard about the business of Santa Letters. This is where a parent fills out a form about the child including information such as the names of their friends, siblings, pets, activities they do very well, etc. Then you use the information to create a very personalized letter for that child and send it to them during the Christmas Holiday.

The Bizyletters opportunity offers Santa Letters, but it also offers templates for letters from the tooth fairy, the Easter Bunny, the Great Pumpkin and too many more to mention here.

Wouldn't it be nice if someone asked you what you did for a living and you could say, "My job is to make children feel very very special and most importantly loved?" Gifts might come and go, but a letter from Santa, or the tooth fairy is something parents keep to put in scrapbooks, and baby books. It's a special memory for a child who has no doubt he must be the most important person in the world.
