Myrtle Beach, SC (prHWY.com) August 27, 2012 - VirtualAssistantJobs101. com has published a free eBook called, How to Start a Virtual Assistant Business to aid jobless or recently laid-off service-adept professionals in deciding on a home-based career as a virtual assistant.

A Virtual Assistant is a self-employed contractor who offers competent skills in administration, organization, technical support, customer service, as well as writing, proofreading, and data entry for private entrepreneurs, big and small companies, temp. agencies, and non-profit associations. Because VAs can work from home, they interact with their clients with various communication tools, namely the Internet, e-mail, Skype, secure FTP, and fax machine.

The free eBook, "How to Start a Virtual Assistant Business" gives guidance and information into setting up a virtual assistant business-- including the reasons why. The writer, Janice Jacobs, who has functioned as a VA for over 6 years, has written chapters on "Who Employs Virtual Assistants," "The Perks of Handling VA Work," "The Attributes and Proficiencies of a VA," and "Simple Strategies to Start a Virtual Assistant Business."

The slow-moving economic crisis in the United States has driven many service-adept individuals into unemployment or into lower-salary occupations. To uncover other options to pay off the bills or to generate a stable revenue stream, many laid-off professionals are choosing self-employment, most notably working virtually or remotely from home. A handful of the most popular and steady-paying virtual positions include at-home customer service help, medical billing and coding , administrative support, call center and scheduling support, writing and editing, and many varieties of data entry. While virtual jobs for administrative duties are not high-salary jobs, they do pay an hourly rate between $9 to $15, based on the job and business.

"Most individuals at some phase in their careers have explored and investigated various ways to improve their cash flow," according to Jacobs. "The Internet--our virtual world--has matured into a worldwide interactive job marketplace where people with ordinary or unique skills can procure one-time jobs or recurring freelance work."

Jacobs invites anyone who is serious in seeking a virtual vocation to read her free eBook at http://www.virtualassistantjobs101.com/

VirtualAssistantJobs101. com is a free online jobsite where Jacobs and her associates research and evaluate reliable virtual jobs from top job sites and makes them accessible to all job-hunters.
