I learned new things as a virtual assistant. This is one type of work that could really exhaust your skills and talents. You are expected to do lots of things -- article writing, copywriting, data entry, transcribe audio files, forum posting and more.
I had a crash course in how to write titles and description tags for web pages for SEO. I did a pretty good work with what was assigned to me, if I may say so myself. Generally, it was not a hard task but keeping the title or description to a desired number of characters could be challenging more so if you are expected to include certain keywords.
One thing I'd like to learn is how to effectively do postings at Craigslist. Most of the virtual assistant work I've come across with seem to require this skill. I really don't know if there's any special technique or whatever that I need to learn for this type of thing. I prefer doing "real" work but I guess to some this is real enough.

Data Entry Work 2
Out of curiosity, I responded to an online ad for data entry workers. I asked for more information about the advertised work and within an hour, I got an email.
The email I received talked about what the work is all about (processing emails) and all the financial benefits I could gain. Near the end of the email, a fee was mentioned. It was meant as payment for the training materials. I chuckled while reading this part. Why do you need to pay a supposedly established company to train you? I don't want to find out more so I just deleted the mail.

Data Entry Work
I nearly got myself involved in supposedly, data entry work being offered by an online company. I got turned off because I learned that I have to pay a fee in order to become a member. What? I have to pay in order to work for them and be paid?
After researching more about this online company, I found out that there are lots of disgruntled members although there are those who claimed to have been paid. What's so funny is that many who became members only aim to recover what they paid the company.
However, legitimate data entry jobs do exist. They just get buried under scams and deceiving ads. If you dig dipper, you can find for yourself of a good data entry work. Just don't fall for companies with promises of good earning and yet are asking for a fee.
