What is an Online Personal Assistant?

My title is Online Personal Assistant or you may also refer to me as a Virtual Assistant. Many people may not understand what that is, or why they would want one.
An Online Personal Assistant would be one who is providing professional, administrative, managerial, technical, business office or personal support services from ones own home office. Working from home using technology such as the Internet, IM, videoconferencing, etc.. I can provide service to clients regardless of their geographic location.
An Online Personal Assistant such as myself would work on a contractual basis, and agree to provide services with integrity, honesty, diligence, and in a timely manner.
Why would you want to hire an Online Personal Assistant? Having an Online Personal Assistant means you have someone you can delegate your time-consuming, mundane, and non income generating tasks or duties to; in doing so you can alleviate stress from your job and free up time for more important business or personal ventures you may have. In addition you eliminate the cost of having an on site employee that does these tasks by not having to provide employee benefits, office space, or equipment. An Online Personal Assistant could be especially helpful to you if you find yourself overwhelmed with task oriented work, you could use fresh insight on projects, you need an extra pair of administrative hands, etc...
Online Personal Assistants must be self driven to work and be focused on the tasks given him/her. For this reason, most often, your Online Personal Assistant will require a basic overview of your project/task, some minimal instruction as to how you would like to see the project/task done, and a time frame in which you would like the project/task finished and he/she will take it and run with it. Having an Online Personal Assistant will free your mind and your schedule for more important things!
That is my job, to assist you from my home, with your work. I utilize online technologies such as the Internet and all its tools to best assist you and perform your tasks and to get them back to you. Anything that can be handled in a digitized format is work that I can do or help you with. Internet-based technology is what makes this all possible, we live in a virtual world, take advantage of it! My name is Jenn, I am your NetRunner, how can I assist you?
