Virtual assistant technology has become a vital aspect to promote efficient business organizations.

As technology developed, the virtual assistant industry also boomed. A virtual assistant provides a business or an entrepreneur with a flexible and cost-effective service. It is becoming increasingly evident that there has been an exponential rise in the use of virtual assistants in 2021. More and more people are conducting their transactions online due to the governments’ mandated restrictions on going outside and the fear of getting infected with the virus. Apart from conducting business online, businesses can deploy virtual assistants for book-keeping purposes, performing credit checks, and more. VAs range from simple to complex, and emerging are working towards making these applications more intelligent. In this article, we have listed the top startups that are working towards producing intelligent virtual assistant applications.

3 Steps to Becoming a Virtual Assistant

IdeasUnlimited has helped shape hundreds of remote workers into confident virtual assistants capable of serving all business niches. Based on our experience, we have developed a very simple checklist for aspiring virtual assistants to set them up for success.

Decide a Specialty

Feel free to scroll back up and re-familiarize yourself with what a virtual assistant does. As you’re reading through, find things you are most comfortable with. Perhaps a skill that you already know or a task that you have prior experience with. It can even be something you find interesting and wouldn’t mind learning.

The goal is to develop a focus. You could very well offer a wide range of services as a virtual assistant, but we highly recommend sticking to just a few. 

In our experience, virtual assistants should strive for long-term projects rather than short-term gigs. In order to achieve this, you need to focus on a few tasks that you deliver extremely well. If you try to accomplish many things at once, you risk underperforming and not making a great impression on your profile.

Create an Impressive Portfolio

A portfolio is doubly important for virtual assistants who want to focus on content creation. Most of the time, you will be required to show a portfolio which will be compared with the work of other virtual assistant candidates and you should therefore be prepared to present one at a moment’s notice.

If you’re looking for ideas for an eye-catching portfolio, be sure to skim through Pinterest for some inspiration from millions of content creators.

Items that could be added to your portfolio include social posts, graphics, website snapshots, blogs, articles and so on.

Even if you haven’t worked as a virtual assistant, we highly recommend using your free-time to craft a portfolio. For example, you could start a WordPress blog (which is free of charge) and begin submitting content on it for your portfolio.
