Assistants

Many entrepreneurs and successful executives hire virtual assistants. A virtual assistant has many daily tasks he can perform from the comfort of his own home. Typical, these include making travel arrangements, designing graphic presentations, performing payroll and bookkeeping services, data entry, and customer service support. Many employment agencies seek quality virtual assistants and do not charge a fee.
Call Centers

If you have a dedicated phone line and a reliable broadband Internet connection, consider a virtual call center job. Many large corporations, such as 1-800-Contacts and 1-800-Flowers, hire call center agents on a regular basis. There are no up-front fees, and you are paid on an hourly basis. You log into the company's system from home to begin fielding calls and helping customers. Before you start, you are trained on how to handle calls and use the system.

Data Entry
-
Many companies have miscellaneous work that needs to get done, but they don't have anyone specifically to work on the project. That is where you come in. Typical virtual project work includes customer support by email, transcription services, data entry, and content review and editing. If you enjoy working on a variety of tasks, you will like this type of work. While a typical virtual assistant performs many of these same tasks, she works for just one person and normally performs the same tasks repetitively. You can find a good example of a virtual project worker at the LiveWork website.
