Mar 20, 2008, Virtual assistants do make decent money

A lot of people may be skeptical to start a virtual assistant business thinking they can't possibly make enough money. Well from the first few months I started my business in 2003 I made the same amount of money as I would have earnt in my executive PA role.

With better tax advantages and tax deductions and no childcare costs, I couldn't be happier with the money I am able to earn. In fact I'm even taking a well earned break (because I usually work seven days a week at odd hours, because I work around the children) and heading from my home in Melbourne Australia to Big White in Canada for a family skiing trip.

We certainly love our skiing and believe me it's an expensive hobby and I am of course able to sustain such a hobby on my virtual assistant income.

So what are you waiting for, get out there and start your virtual assistant home business, if I did you can too.

Kind regards, Sandra
