I’m looking for a long term, dedicated, part time virtual assistant to help me grow my small online business.

Are you up for a challenge?
Do you thrive with ever expanding responsibilities?
Are you keen to learn and perfect new skills?
Do you have a positive, get it done mindset?
Are you comfortable taking risks, making mistakes and then using those
experiences to improve your skill-set?
Do you have a sense of humour?
Do you show up for work every day and give it 100?fort?
Are you a detail oriented, highly organized person with exceptional time management skills?

If you answered YES to all of the above questions, you might be interested in this job post.

This job offers 15 hours per week to start but that can increase to 20 (if you wish) once the ongoing revenues generated will cover the increase.

The starting hourly wage is set at $3.00 to $3.50 usd per hour to start. That too, will increase with the business revenue growth.

While the job will involve a wide variety of tasks and skills, the primary focus will be to help grow the business by effective branding, list building, sales, content creation, monitoring and engaging prospects / buyers.

Preference will be given to those with successful digital / social media monitoring and marketing experience.

Training and support will be provided as needed. Professional development, working outside your comfort zone and learning new skills will be a regular part of your work experience.

I work online part time so you will be expected to be the main driving force to get things done on a daily basis. From that, you can expect to take on a lot of responsibility, learn and apply all the skills necessary to fit this role.

Working hours are negotiable. They do not need to fit my time zone, but they
must be consistent for reporting and follow-up purposes.

Skills can be learned. Your positive attitude, honesty, commitment and work ethic must already be in place.
Still interested? Let’s do an honest check…to qualify for this position, you MUST have and be able to display the following:

a) Solid English reading, speaking, writing and comprehension skills
