Online Jobs FAQs – Part 1
What are online jobs really?
Nowadays we can work on the internet and earn some good money. There are many different types of online jobs available on the internet. Few companies offer jobs that people can do via internet but the jobs that I want to mention here are purely online. Freelancing sites offers a wide range of jobs that people can do while sitting at home. Yes that’s true, everyone can earn via doing online jobs at freelancing sites while sitting at their own home. All you need is a computer and an internet connection and that’s it, with these two things, you can earn as much as you want to at freelancing sites.
What are freelancing sites?
Freelancing sites is a market place where buyers pay to get their work done and service providers earn by doing work that buyers post. Freelancing sites simply provide a connection between people seeking online jobs and people who need some kind of work done.
How do freelancing sites operate?
For Buyers: buyers just have to sign up, which only takes few minutes and then they can post projects. In projects, buyers provide detail information about the work that they need to be done. Some freelancing sites charge few dollars as a refundable fee for all projects which buyers open. Also, there is an option to make their project as a featured project. Featured projects are different then ordinary opened projects in many ways and that’s why it is not free and thus it cost some where around $20 to $30 to open a featured project. Featured projects stays at the freelancing site’s front page for longer time then ordinary projects. For such projects, both the buyer and the service provider can communicate via email, phone, messenger etc even before the project is awarded. There are no freelancing site’s commissions on featured projects.
In project description, buyer has to carefully describe all his requirements. Also, choosing the right category for the project is very important factor. After creating the project, some freelancing sites at once publish it or some publish it after reviewing it. Freelancing sites review projects to make sure that no fake or site’s terms violating projects do not get posted. This project review has few advantages and some disadvantages too. Sites that review projects have clean or fake free online jobs list. Service providers don’t have to worry about any SCAM project posted at these sites. But on other hand, buyers on many occasions need work done very quickly. Some times in an hour or so where this project review can take up to a day or two. So in such case, buyers can’t use such freelancing sites.
After the project is online, service providers seeking online jobs from all around the world can view it and if anyone thinks that he or she can do it, they place a bid on that project. On the other hand, buyers begin to receive bid from many different service providers. Almost all freelancing sites have the option for the service providers to send a private message to the buyer. Service providers can send detail description about how they will do the project etc in private messages.

VIRTUAL OFFICE ASSISSTANT AS A CAREER
I have been working as a virtual office assistant for 4 years now. I get my salary debited into my account just like a normal office goer. I do not get any perks, allowances or pensions. I work in the convenience of my home in my own timings. I report every Monday morning with the finished work. I use MSoffice and Excel. I get paid once a month. When I started initially I received instructions and training through emails and I am updated with instructions whenever needed. I have not been able to work for one month in the past 4 years and I did not receive pay for the one month that I did not work for. I have been supported for any queries that I needed to clarify and have got a few days time extension on request when I was not able to finish the job for the week. I spend 1 hour online daily and 1 hour offline on my computer. I have never seen or spoken to my employer. I have not got rich quick or made loads of quick internet cash. Being a VOA is my second job and I plan to continue doing it. Now I have been asked to build a team of VOAs since the work load has increased. With my experience, I will be guiding the VOAs in my team and making sure the work is done in time and as required. If:
• you are above 18 years of age
• Have internet access for 2 hours a day on weekdays [Mon. to Fri.] OR 10 hours on weekends

OVERVEIW ABOUT VIRTUAL OFFICE ASSISSTANTS
As the role of the internet and its effect on the business community evolves, what once had to be done in a traditional corporate office can now be done in one\’s home, in satellite offices or while travelling. Virtual Assistants also can provide a wider variety of services than the traditional administrative assistants, often incorporating desktop publishing, web page design, internet research, writing or other specialty skills into their available services. Because of this broad array of services, the virtual assistant is particularly valuable to small business owners, or those desiring personal assistants to help with less traditional tasks. It also allows the virtual assistant to specialize in the areas they find most interesting.
A Growing Trend
Virtual assistants are a rapidly growing trend, driven by a few key factors: the desire of employees to maintain more control over their work styles, demand from businesses to lower costs and improve efficiencies, and the availability of technology that enables both sides to connect.
A virtual employee saves the company considerable costs: no need for office space, no payroll tax or benefits, and no equipment to maintain. And the job can be tailored to the exact needs of the boss. If a business only needs a few hours of administrative work each week that\’s what they pay for – saving the cost of a full time employee.
As a virtual assistant, you\’re doing much the same as an office-based admin: handling correspondence, travel arrangements, maintaining the calendar, billing/accounting, research, translation, transcription, paralegal, concierge services and more. You do this as an independent contractor or freelancer. Unlike an office employee, you set your hours, decide the services you want to provide, and choose your clients.
