Does anyone have any experience in Virtual assistant jobs?
I’m looking for some extra income, and crucially, the ability to work evenings and weekends (preferably from home), and a virtual assistant sounds like it could be promising.
I’ve seen sites such as www.peopleperhour.com, but after a quick browse the listings, I get this impression this could provide the odd hour here and there, but not 9-15hrs a week I’m looking for. I’ve got plenty of admin experience so would be comfortable with any of the following sorts of virtual assistant jobs:
Any thoughts on this sort of job, or any particular websites to look for/avoid?

There are a lot of Facebook groups that offer advice on this. VA help desk and VA handbookers are ones I see recommended on other Facebook groups. Also a website howtobeava.co.uk I see recommended.
I have no connection with these and haven’t looked at them, but see them mentioned often.I'm a Forum Ambassador on the housing, mortgages & student money saving boards.
