In using professional administrative, technical, or creative (social) assistance remotely from a home office, virtual assistants (VA) are independent contractors rather than employees, so you are not responsible for any employee-related taxes, insurance, or benefits.

Salespeople, business owners and online marketers do not have to go it alone. Assistants already experienced with social media, research, e-Commerce and web development can serve as a right-hand men and advisors. Virtual assistants can successfully navigate the waters with years of experience to keep things moving forward.
