I have a friend that's working as a virtual assistant & she seems to enjoy it. You can set your own hours, rates. I think she's advertising through a variety of places (Elance, ODesk, Fiverr) and I've referred a couple people to her. - Corinne L

My friend told me to set up my own website, probably to prove I am capable? Advertise myself like crazy and be happy. We will see what happens next. I'll probably spend the next rest of my life trying to figure out a good place to open up shop on that website. - Joe "The Anvil" Pierce

If you're a patient person and good at explaining technical issues without talking down to people, I would recommend marketing yourself to folks over 65. Many of them need help with various computer tasks for their businesses or hobbies, or they need to learn how to use a smartphone, tablet, social media, etc. - Corinne L

There's also a huge number of retirees and semi-retirees who are writing books and need help with tasks related to writing, editing and promoting their books. DM me if you want to know more. - Corinne L
