2. Virtual Assistant Services
Every busy business owner wishes they had a clone to handle the boring stuff. That’s where you come in. Virtual assistants handle everything from email management to social media scheduling, customer service to basic bookkeeping.
The beauty is you can start with basic admin skills and gradually learn new software as clients need it. Some VAs become specialists in specific tools like Mailchimp or Shopify, which commands higher rates.
You’re not just doing busy work either. Good VAs become essential parts of their clients’ businesses, often handling customer relationships and important processes.
What you can earn: $20-$50 per hour
Time you’ll spend: 10-40 hours per week
How to start: List your admin skills honestly, create profiles on BeMyVA or Virtual Assistant Australia, then start offering services in local business Facebook groups.
Insider tip: VAs who package their services (like “$500/month for 20 hours of admin support”) create more predictable income than hourly billing.
