According to Diana Ennen the internet is creating more highly skilled niche workers who might once have been called “secretaries”. Today they’re called “Virtual Assistants.”
By definition, a Virtual Assistant or VA, is a highly skilled professional who provides administrative support and other specialized services to businesses, entrepreneurs, authors, online businesses, executives, sales professionals and others who have more work to do than time to do it. Many VA’s also provide web design and maintenance, publicity and marketing, desktop publishing, word processing, and business start-up consultations. The services are endless depending upon the VA’s knowledge, skills and creativity.
I’ve seen virtual assistants who do specialized work in fields like legal document preparation, real estate documents, and follow up greeting card services.
I might even consider “Mobile Notary” services “Virtual” since they seem heavily dependent on internet advertising.
