HOW VIRTUAL ASSISTANT SERVICES WOULD BE OF HELP IN NIGERIA.

Following an article I read, see the link below, http://www.nairaland.com/6957/nigerians-employ-virtual-office-assistant

Honestly it’s really worth looking into, but first and foremost let us understand who a virtual assistant is;

A virtual assistant offers help to individuals /organizations/ companies over the internet. I can tell you from personal experience, it's a great work-at-home opportunity and something many people could do.

Lots of people hear the word "virtual assistance" and the first they think about is administrative assistance, like a secretary. It can mean that, but it’s broader than that.

You could go hours upon hours trying to grow or develop a business. But how you spend your valuable time could actually end up hindering your company from becoming successful.

Hiring a virtual assistant can free up some of the time you spend working on administrative work and replace with what you do best. Hiring a virtual assistant can free up your time in data entry, posting content on your blog, answering email from clients, following up with vendors/clients or responding to social media mentions.

A virtual assistant can be short term or long term and an assistant can fill in for a specific project, or commit to a certain amount of hours per week or month.

The services a virtual assistant can offer businesses are endless it only depends on the area the owner needs the assistant.

With the heavy impact of workers being laid off in Nigeria, due to the financial crisis, and companies not being able to afford to keep permanent staff, companies would be looking at outsourcing their jobs.

Virtual assistants do not require workplace or employees benefits.

Their wages is a determinant of the hours worked on the tasks.

Virtual assistants offer far more capabilities and can be personalized for each person.

However, if there is one request heard over and over again by companies, it's for more and varied choices of outsourcing that would be going to the virtual assistant, along with greater control.
