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?

Online Personal Assistant

Hello. I am Jenn.
For years now I have been a mom. A stay-at-home mom and also a day care mom. Until recently when I was given the opportunity to assist a friend of mine on a project of his, that I hope you check out, called joossearch.
The title for my job would be best described as an online personal assistant. Due to technological advances, I can assist my friend/employer from across the country. We can collaborate on projects and we can communicate in various ways to get the job done. Of course I can't fetch his coffee, but I can do almost anything else. From the tasks one just does not have time to get done, to the mundane that one just does not want to do, I can be assigned to do them, and with a little instruction, I get to it and get it done.
My other "title" in my current position with joossearch would be 'Internet librarian'. An Internet librarian would be someone who embraces and utilizes Internet technology. Helping to develop, evaluate, and manage Internet content in various forms. An Internet librarian helps to build communities online, provide information, guide, and train Internet users. This is what you will find me doing at joossearch.blogspot.com .
My new career path is self educating, self motivated, and builds my self esteem. It allows me to work from the comfort of my home office with my children surrounding me while participating in the professional world.
If you are interested in becoming an 'Internet librarian', if you need Internet information or help, if you want to know more about current technology and how it is being utilized, visit us at http://www.joossearch.blogspot.com .
If you are a professional who needs assistance and could benefit from an online personal assistant, whether helping to manage your web site, or helping to make your travel plans, I may be able to help you. E-mail me at runwithme2@gmail.com .
