Virtual Assistance -Does It Have A Future?
by Lisa Taliga

I'm excited to be able to tell you about
a recent report called 'What Does the Future
Hold for Virtual Assistants?'

The George Washington University states that:

"...the virtual assisting industry is growing rapidly
and is expected to be a $130 BILLION industry
by 2008, but it could be larger."

Under the category 'Emerging Technologies',
Virtual Assistance is listed alongside such major
industries as e-commerce, electronic banking and
portable IT devices!

It's believed that Virtual Assistance will be one of
the top ten technological breakthroughs that will
occur by 2010 at the latest. Virtual Assistants
will soon be a widely accepted means of business
support.

The potential target market for VAs is growing at
a rapid pace, with more and more people setting
up their own businesses from home and needing
the services of professional VAs.

There is more than enough work to go around,
and there is still 'room' for many more Virtual
Assistants to join the industry. Indeed, most of
my clients had never even heard of Virtual
Assistants before they started working
with me!

One of my clients said to me the other day:
'I used to sit in my office with all this stuff to do,
wishing I could offload it to someone outside my
office who I could trust, but I didn't know who to
turn to. I had never heard of Virtual Assistants
until you came along.'

This should give you an idea of the vast pool of
potential clients that are just waiting for us to
help them! Just think of all the other prospects
who are overwhelmed by their workloads,
wondering who to turn to!
