VIRTUAL ASSISTANT NETWORKS

There are so many virtual assistant networks or virtual assistant collectives around the world and this is fantastic to see. Below is an ever growing list and it will be updated accordingly. Some virtual asssistant networks are free and others are fee based. Some are country specific and some have worldwide memberships.

There are lots of reasons for joining virtual assistant collectives as these networks and organisations allow you to have your name and services listed on their network, they give you access to their forums for communication with other virtual assistants and the networks can have job leads coming through in different ways according to different network setups, etc. Not only can jobs come through from businesses, but you can even receive work through other virtual assistants needing assistance with overflow work or they are too busy to take on a new client.

You can also make new friends, which is great as being a virtual assistant can be very isolating, and you do really learn so many new things from seasoned VAs.

Each network, group, directory or organisation has its own benefits and they all vary, so check them out below in alphabetical order:
