Thanks for sharing information with us. Busy trying to find other legitimate online business to add to the present WA. I don't actually have experience to start something from the scratch, that's why I solemnly rely on ready made businesses as my second source of income. This resulted in me being the victim of scammers. I even tried forex trading without success. I've been unemployed for ten years and my wife joined me this year on April. I have to play a role of being a supportive and trusted Father by making sure fire keeps burning in the house. Sorry for taking your time Robert, I am from a disadvantaged family background.
VAs are an extremely important asset that we can tap into as online marketers, and the value they bring cannot be overemphasized for the start-up or small to medium sized company...
This, of course, opens the doors for those that may have a particular qualification that is in demand. Whether it is copywriting, video editing, coding, etc. as you mention.
We have used VAs on a regular basis through Fiverr, and the cost versus benefit cannot be argued...What would take days due to my and others lack of expertise is done in a day or two max...
The projects or gigs as some say were not $5 gigs either...They have ranged from $15 all the way up to $250 to now. All were completed in a short period of time...
The reason I bring all of this up is that I believe you have pointed out a GOOD way to generate some fast income from online activities - to keep the frustration level down for those starting out, this is yet another way to get your motivation back...
Not only that, the money you earn can be substantial, and you could grow that one off job into an entire business as your reputation grows.
Do well with your VA gigs, and at some point, there will be enough clients that want you to work exclusively for them that you can strike out on your own, or hire a staff to do the work...
Cheers!

That site you mentioned is very good. Thanks for sharing!
