Today there are more than 5,000 virtual assistants worldwide. This exciting new field is possible as technology has increased and allows for individuals to work with businesses from their own homes. The result is a more competitive market and provides a more affordable option than hiring an employee to do the work, particularly for small business owners and entrepreneurs.
