  6. There are a lot of virtual assistant jobs out there. In fact, even I’ve tried my hand at a few over the years. And, honestly, I enjoy the work of a VA. Why? First, many virtual assistant jobs are flexible. They’re perfect for the side-hustling mama to the full-time freelancer (and everyone in between). And, you can opt to contract with a virtual assistant company or start your own virtual assistant business. In fact, there are nearly 300 in-demand VA services you can offer directly to clients! But, before discussing the ins and outs of finding VA work, let’s start with the basics. What is a virtual assistant? Before you look for virtual assistant jobs, you gotta know what a virtual assistant (VA for short) is. A virtual assistant is someone who provides support and completes tasks from a remote location. This means that a virtual assistant in Texas could make travel arrangements for their client in Germany or coordinate meetings for an executive in Seattle. Really, the possibilities are endless. According to Investopedia, a virtual assistant is β€œan independent contractor who provides administrative services to clients while operating outside of the client’s office.” Investopedia However, not all virtual assistant jobs are contract. More on that later. What is important to know is that thanks to our ever-connected world and ability to do pretty much anything with a computer and Internet connection, virtual assistants can provide just about any service that an in-office administrative assistant can. And this means a lot of legitimate virtual assistant jobs out there for anyone looking for wfh jobs. What does it take to get hired for virtual assistant jobs? Next, what skills are needed as a VA? First, since virtual assistants are entirely remote, you’ll need a computer, high-speed internet and telephone to stay connected with clients and complete tasks. Depending on the client or company you contract with, there are likely to be additional requirements. For example, I’ve seen some companies require their virtual assistants to have a landline phone. Additionally, some require VAs to have the capability to fax, scan and copy from their home office. And still some want specific skills like the ability to type 75 WPM or working knowledge of Photoshop. Heck, there are even virtual assistants jobs specifically for paralegals! Remember, the required skill sets or software needed will depend on the company or a client’s nature of business and their individual needs. Always read a job description VERY carefully before you apply. Most will tell you the needed skills and tech requirements for the position. Psst: Not feeling great about your current tech and administrative skills? No problem! Take a refresher course with Coursera! Who would make an outstanding virtual assistant? If you refer to yourself as a Jack or Jill of all trades, you’d probably make a great virtual assistant. Since VAs are often tasked with a variety of jobs, you’ll need to have a little knowledge of a lot of things or at the very least be really proficient in Internet research in order to come up with the answer/solution to any question/problem. However, there are several skills that are helpful to have when looking for virtual assistant jobs. Generally speaking, virtual assistants: Have great communication skillsCan write effectivelyAre self startersRoll with the punchesStay cool, calm and collected under pressureKnow how to multitask and prioritizeWork with a sense of urgencyRequire limited direction If you’ve ever worked as an admin assistant, personal assistant or in any kind of secretarial role, then you already know what it takes to provide support to others and get things done quickly, efficiently and without interruption to a client’s schedule. A virtual assistant’s role is no different with the exception that you’ll be doing it entirely from home. Companies that Offer Virtual Assistant Jobs While some people choose to create their own virtual assistant job, others are more interested in contracting with a company. Really, each has its pros and cons! If you’re looking for companies that do contract with VAs, check out this list: 1.

  8. Did you get to that point in your business where you worked towards for ages, and then realized it doesn't work for you? Or maybe you started your dream job and it's not making you as happy as you expected it would. If that's you, listen to this part of my interview with Sonia. Listen to the full interview here: Running A Graphic Design Business From A Van In Australia And here: How Sonia Went From Solopreneur To Agency Owner From Her Van In Australia [Over the past months, I've interviewed a lot of nomads, and I've learned SO much from them. I wanted to highlight some of the key insights I got from all the interviews released so far. I decided to release a 10-15 min Short Story episode every Thursday, in addition to the full interviews which go live every Monday.]
  9. FIRST SEEN ON GRAHAM ALLCOTT’S WEEKLY NEWSLETTER β€˜REV UP FOR THE WEEK’. β€œIf you understood everything I’ve said, you’d be me” – Miles Davis Over the years, I’ve worked with and interviewed some pretty remarkable people. Business owners, high-performing leaders, young people with incredible energy and potential, older people with quiet wisdom and painful experience, Olympic gold medallists, multi-millionaire entrepreneurs, professional clowns, inspiring authors, community leaders changing the world, folk musicians telling stories… It’s a long list. One of the questions I’m sometimes asked when I do keynote talks is whether I notice any patterns in how high-performing or β€˜A-type’ people think. My honest is answer is β€œnot really… except that humans are weird”. I’ve coached people whose impressive level of drive, when we’ve boiled it down, came from a desire to do better than the kid at school who bullied them 20 years ago, or a desire to gain the approval of strangers to make up for the lack of parental approval. Equally, I’ve met people who calculated, at a young age, exactly what they wanted their life to resemble, and worked diligently backward with a laser-like focus. The way we think about success, money, work and what constitutes a β€˜good life’ is different for all of us. The only constant is that one way or another, we are all weird. Perhaps you are, dare I suggest, sometimes a bit irrational, or you can get stuck easily, and you may have missed the obvious path. Equally, maybe you can hook on to important details that others might miss, or see someone else’s pain before they do, or see numbers as colours painting a picture. Alain De Botton, writing about romantic love, says one of the best questions to ask on a first date is β€œhow are you weird?”. And what I know for sure is that understanding our biases, hang-ups, geeky-passions and emotional patterns is fundamental to a successful life (whatever you determine that to mean for you). And of course, by understanding the motivations of others, we can work out what weirdnesses we might share in common, and what weirdnesses are different. Sometimes it pays to turn your weirdness volume up to 11, and other times it’s better to reign it all in. So here are a few weirdness questions to provoke some self-awareness and self-kindness this week: What weird thing means I procrastinate? (and what could I do either to change it, or to bring it to the attention of others?)What’s the weird thing that makes me adorable, or might make me more successful? How do I find my polar opposite, or find my tribe?What’s the weird thing(s!) that makes me a terrible boss/lover/housemate/colleague/employee?When am I holding onto a weirdness narrative because it’s the easy excuse?Knowing that everyone else is weird too, how can I learn to be more comfortable in my own skin? For more weird insights and wisdom, sign up to Graham’s weekly newsletter β€˜Rev up for the Week’ here. The post You are so weird (and it’s OK) appeared first on Think Productive UK.

  13. Looking for typing jobs from home? You’re not alone. Typing-based remote jobs are some of the most popular around. In fact, typing-heavy jobs were what got me into remote work almost a decade ago. I was always a fast typist. When I was eight, we got a brand new Compaq computer. I was thrilled. I quickly expressed interest in learning to type. My ever-supportive mom bought me computer software called Mavis Beacon Teaches Typing. I loved it. I honed my typing skills and always tried to get faster. Eventually, I carried my typing skills through high school and even used them to do data entry work for a medical office during the afternoons and summer. It was only natural that when I decided to kick my cubicle to the curb that I would try to capitalize on my fast fingers. What I quickly learned was that, if you’re a fast and accurate typist, you can definitely put your fingers to work. Typing Jobs From Home: Options Available Almost all remote jobs require typing skills. Since you’re not in an office, most of your communication will be done in writing. You’ll send tons of emails, instant messages, and do a lot of typing to communicate. But, there are those remote career paths that require a lot more typing than the average position. So, if you’ve always been a fast typist you should definitely look into these typing jobs from home. 1. Bookkeeper A bookkeeper keeps daily records of money coming in and money going out. Unlike an accountant, a bookkeeper doesn’t need accreditation or a degree. Instead, they need to be accurate typists as they work to keep true financial records. Bookkeepers can work for a single company or outsource their services to different clients. A bookkeeping service is a great option for fast typists since the quicker you work the more you can earn. In fact, Entrepreneur named bookkeeping as one of the most profitable businesses. So, if you’re a fast and accurate typer, you can earn a living from home as a bookkeeper. 3 Free CLASSES! 2. Medical Billing and Coding As far as typing jobs from home, medical billing and coding is incredibly in demand. A recent CNBC report found there are far more medical billing and coding job openings than professionals to fill them. Needless to say, you can definitely earn a living from home typing as a medical billing and coding pro. But, keep in mind, you need some training and certification to get started. Medical billing and coding professionals assign specific codes to patients’ charts. These codes are used by insurance companies to issue payment for procedures and services. Because these codes become a permanent part of a patient’s medical records, certification is required as an entry level candidate. Fortunately, you can complete medical billing and coding training online (and in less than a year). Career Step has a comprehensive medical billing and coding program that partners with companies that hire remote workers. So, in as little as a year, you can land one of many typings jobs from home as a medical billing and coding pro. 3. Transcription There are tons of opportunities to work from home in transcription. True story, my very first remote job was as a legal typist. I listened to recorded depositions and phone interviews for insurance companies. Then, I transcribed them word for word. These transcripts were typically used in lawsuits where insurance claims were involved β€” think car accidents, theft, fire, vandalism, etc. Needless to say, it was very interesting! And, it was a remote career path that perfectly played into my typing skills. But, legal transcribing is just one of the typing jobs from home in transcription. (If you’re seriously interested in legal typing jobs, though, I highly recommend you take this free legal transcription course first!) You can also find work as a general typist and medical typist. General Transcription A general transcriptionist usually transcribes audio ranging from focus groups to financial calls and even sermons or lectures. Really, there are all types of professionals and businesses that use general typists to turn recordings into written documents. General transcriptionists typically don’t have to transcribe verbatim. Instead, they produce cleaned up transcripts that don’t have β€œums” and β€œuhs,” false starts and stutters from speakers. To be a general transcriptionist, you don’t need special training. In fact, many companies will take a chance on beginners. However, to make the most of your time, you need to be a fast and accurate typist. Plus, you have to get used to typing while listening to audio and using a foot pedal. I highly recommend a free transcription course before you jump into transcribing head first. Doing so will give you a good overview of transcribing for a living and help you decide if it’s right for you. Did I mention it’s free? Medical Transcription Medical typing jobs from home are some of the most lucrative. However, you need training to be considered. As a medical transcriptionist, you listen to doctor dictation and transcribe what is being said. Often, there are specific medical and anatomy terms that would be difficult to understand without proper training. The good news is, medical transcription and editing training can be completed online and in less than a year through Career Step. Upon graduation, you’ll be ready to take on work as a home-based typist in the medical field. 4. Data Entry As a Certified Professional Career Coach (CPCC) specializing in remote work, I get a TON of questions about data entry work. Unfortunately, there just aren’t enough real openings to keep up with the demand. Often, there are tons of jobs posted online looking for home-based data entry clerks. But, more often than not, these postings are scams. On occasion, there are legit data entry positions posted. However, these often pay very little β€” I’m talking pennies for hundreds of characters typed. For example, I signed up for data entry work at Virtual Bee (it’s now called SmartCrowd). Again, I was always looking for typing jobs from home that would let me earn money just for being a quick typist and it seemed like a good option. As it turns out, it wasn’t. I threw in the towel after a week of work and only earning $7.00. Yep, you read that right β€” a measly $7.00. If you’re truly interested in data entry work from home, you can check out different platforms and marketplaces that frequently post these type of jobs. Some popular options include Amazon Mechanical Turk, SigTrack, Fancy Hands, and Upwork. Keep in mind, the pay rate will vary quite a bit. And like the other typing jobs from home listed, the faster you can type, the more you’ll earn! 5. Captioning As a captioner, you’ll sync captions to video so they show up on screen at the right time. To do this, you have to accurately type what is being said and time it just so. Captioners can find work captioning pre-recorded video or live broadcasts. Of course, when it comes to live broadcasts, you’ll need to type quickly enough to keep up with speech in real time, as it happens. This requires quite a bit of skill and extremely fast fingers. If you’re new to captioning, Rev is a good place to start. While the pay is on the lower side, you can gain experience as a beginner. From there, you can go onto higher-paid positions. 6. Email & Chat Agents Any non-phone jobs are always popular among remote job seekers. That’s why email and chat agent positions are some of the most coveted positions around! Fortunately, there are a number of companies that hire email reps and chat agents to support customers. Typically, virtual reps will primarily handle customer inquiries via email and chat. However, there may be times when you have to take calls, so keep that in mind. In addition to being a fast typist, you also must have a strong grasp of grammar. You will always need to respond to customers in complete, error-free sentences. Apple is a well-known company that hires chat agents, but there are some less-common companies that hire email representatives. If you’re a fast typist, it’s a good idea to check them all out! 7. Virtual Assistant Finally, don’t forget about virtual assistant work as a source of typing jobs from home. A virtual assistant tackles a variety of tasks depending on skills and clients. For example, VAs can do graphic design, social media, email management, marketing, ecommerce, and so much more! You can work for one of the many virtual assistant companies or start your own business as a virtual assistant. In fact, grab this FREE Guide to 275+ In-Demand VA Services for inspiration. Typing Jobs From Home Think you have what it takes to successfully perform typing jobs from home? Keep in mind, you really do need to be fast and accurate to make these jobs worth your time. Some companies will only require a typing speed of 30 words per minute or greater. But, for transcription jobs or medical billing and coding gigs, a minimum 70 words per minute is pretty standard. Before getting started, test your typing speed. If you struggle to maintain a high word per minute rate or your accuracy is lacking, you can always brush up on your skills. There are free sites you can use, like How To Type, to refine your abilities. Before you know it, you’ll be ready to tackle all the typing jobs from home. Happily, Ashlee P.S.

Where can I find international wfh jobs? And these are just a few of the most common ones! Truthfully, there are dozens of individuals who reach out to us week after week in frustration.
