For the small business or overworked executive, Blanche Evans, editor of Realty Times, says the virtual assistant can provide a near perfect solution over hiring new employees or engaging a temp service. Evans observes:

For an hourly fee of $15 to $35, less than the cost of temps or employees, agents can take advantage of professional assistance and a variety of skills at the click of a mouse.

She says the Virtual Assistant requires no additional equipment from the employer, no office furniture, no employment compliance or unemployment liability issues, no benefits package, sick leave or vacation time. She ads:

Virtual assistants are already computer trained, and can assist with your specific needs from traditional office support services to highly specialized areas including Web page design. Call upon your virtual assistant for basic word processing, phone answering, bill paying, appointment scheduling and calendar maintenance.

Sources for hiring virtual assistance like Aday can be found either through their own websites or via services like the International Virtual Assistants Association.
