Question & answer with virtual assistant Marvin Macatol

http://www.flickr.com/photos/

Jomar Hilario had organized a Virtual Assistant Work From Home Online Question & Answer (Q&A) session last April 19, 2011 with a special guest Marvin Macatol. The Online Q&A is part of the on-going support Jomar is providing to existing and up coming Filipino virtual assistants. To find out more about Jomar Hilario and training opportunities click here http://adf.ly/xBlJ

Marvin Macatol is a new virtual assistant with fairly good wealth of experience already. He shared with us how he started as a virtual assistant, his experiences and how his VA life looks like. According to Marvin, he started out his journey as a VA by attending Jomar Hilario's work from home as a virtual assistant seminar on November 2010. Then he worked hard, completed all the assignments and applied everything that was was taught in the seminar. Check out Marvin's final assignments in his blog, http://virtualsidekick.blogspot.com

4 months later, Marvin was successful in getting his first "gig". Now he has 2 "gigs", working 60 hours per week from home and quite happy and satisfied with his earnings. He has more time now at home with his kids! He shared many good points and I'll share those that really impressed upon me.

Daily Affirmations

Marvin makes it his daily morning habit to recite positive affirmations to himself. Daily affirmations help him to focus on the positive thoughts upon which he can dwell, inspire him and make him feel better about himself. He also feels being supported by God.

Keep on Posting

A virtual assistant needs to write a blog and to keep on blogging. You need to publish a lot online to prove your worth, establish your credibility and increase your presence and visibility online.

Demonstrate Your Skills to Clients

To be a successful VA, you need to demonstrate your varied skills to future employers. One way of doing this is to take as many certification tests as possible especially those that apply to your skills areas in Odesk and Brainbench. You  need to get "certified" of your skills.  Do you want your profile to stand out from others? Here is the secret.  Aim to get higher scores in those tests! A virtual assistant with varied skills and higher qualifications will  rank first and immediately get noticed by potential clients.

Increase Your Knowledge

It is also important to increase our knowledge-base by attending seminars, self-study, and read books. Find a mentor. Ask questions. Show what you've got. Demonstrate excellence in everything that you do; do not slacken up.

Other Pointers Marvin Gave:

1. Be happy. Make yourself feel good
2. Be prepared emotionally and personally
3. Read job description well in advance
3. Practice conversational ethics (let them speak first before you answer, answer in short manner as possible)
4. Dress-up (even if it's online interview). This has positive psychological benefit.

Marvin's success story as virtual assistant is very inspiring. His is the case of someone who had a definite purpose in mind and took ACTION. He did not dilly dally. Vince Lombarde is right when he said, "The difference between successful person and others is not the lack of strength, not a lack of knowledge, but rather a lack in will."

8 Reasons Why I Want to Work as a Virtual Assistant

A few years back but not until last year I began to explore seriously new ways of money making opportunities in the internet. I came across so many online money making ideas in the internet, and I actually tried some of them like pay per click and affiliate marketing. There are also plenty out there that offer get rich quick schemes and outright scams! At some point, I was also a victim of that! So please be aware of that.

However, one legitimate way to make money online that is increasingly becoming popular is to work as a Virtual Assistant or VA. I've heard of this virtual assistant opportunity only in January 2011 and it sufficiently piqued my interest. When I saw an advert about "How to Work from Home as a Virtual Assistant Seminar" by Jomar Hilario I signed up right away without hesitation.  I knew then it's the right option for me, and after the seminar, my resolve to be a virtual assistant was even bolstered.

Virtual Assistant

You might be wondering what a Virtual Assistant is. A VA is a person who works remotely (via internet, telephone, fax) as an independent contractor and provides services to a client for a pre-determined price. The services a VA could provide vary; it could be professional, managerial, administrative, technical, creative and others. A VA can work for an individual client or organization/company.

My Reasons

Here are the top 8 reasons, in no particular order, why I want to work as Virtual Assistant. As of now, I only want to work part-time as a VA, since I have my regular 8-hour job.

1. Place Freedom.  As a VA, I have the ability to work from the comfort of my home or any place I choose actually. I do not need to come to work or office everyday. I can do my work in any place I choose to.

2. Time Freedom.  Since I do not need to come to work or report to office Monday to Friday, I have the freedom to set my own working time — when I want to work and for how long do I want to work. And I can tell my client that!

3. Freedom to Choose Work That Meets My Personal Needs. Not only being a VA gives me flexibility to work on my own time and place, it also gives me the ability to choose the kind of work that suits my preferences (kind of work, level of effort, etc), working style and temperament. It allows me to work within the bounds of my personal circumstances.

4. Opportunity to be more Entrepreneurial. When you work as a VA, you work as an independent contractor, or self-entrepreneur. It helps to develop and train an entrepreneurial mindset, attitude and aptitude in me. For instance, I need to identify and define what services to offer, find a client, apply for a “gig”, negotiate with a client, etc. On top of that, it puts me in control to set my own price (although honestly I find this not easy to do, at least for now). All these help to develop in me the mindset of an entrepreneur!

5. Ability to Scale Up my Work. Being a VA, it gives me flexibility to take on as many projects or clients as I can handle. I can start with simple, administrative tasks, and gradually scale up as I progress. For now I am happy to take on simple projects as I am still trying to get my footing. And hopefully, when I get constant stream of projects in the future, I will also have the freedom to accept or refuse a particular project or client, depending on my personal circumstances.

6. Opportunity to Learn and Develop New Skills. In the current marketplace where competition is much fiercer than before, one needs to be strongly competitive to be successful. I am not a very techie person (neither an idiot too, hehe ) but being a VA, it gives me a lot of opportunity to learn entirely new computer skills. In fact in recent weeks, I’ve learned new computer programs/tools that I can apply in my VA work. I’ve learned how to blog too!  Isn’t that great?

7. Be My Own Boss. Not only being a VA gives me time, place and work freedom, it also lets me to be my own boss. And I love that idea! I hope I will achieve this in no short time. Of course, I still have to work with my clients and be accountable to them, but after the project I will have the freedom to decide if I want to continue to work with him or not. I have the freedom to refuse a client as much as a client has freedom to refuse me.

8. Additional Income. On top of the benefits I mentioned above, yes, doing Virtual Assistant work can give me extra income. It is a good supplement to my income from the regular 8-hour job. And I plan to use this extra income into more productive economic ventures. In fact, if being a VA will greatly click for me, I might even decide to give up my 8-hour job and work as a full-time VA. Hmmm.

I know the road to VA success is not going to be easy. Thanks to the training I received last January from Jomar Hilario. That I believe gave me an edge over others already. I am no quitter, and I am ready for the challenge!
