One great micro business idea is to be a virtual assistant (VA) – someone that helps a business with bookkeeping, administrative tasks (scheduling, responding to e-mail,etc.) or creative tasks (editing, graphic design, etc) all from a remote location.

I’ve hired several VA’s over the years to write blog posts, edit videos, etc. for this website.

Here’s a course that could help you get started.

The author, Rhea Perry, Who I’ve met in person several times states that you could spend $3,000 on a VA course. Hers is only $997.

Try it out!

Or see if you can use the skills you also ready have and offer your services.

Here’s how I found my current VA: She posted on Facebook that she was looking for a summer job. I emailed her and asked if she knew WordPress (the platform I use for blogging) . She did and I hired her to create blog posts.

From a parent

Thank you for your e-book on teen micro businesses. Your valuable experience and wealth of knowledge is vast.

Your presentations at Cincinnati homeschool conferences and sharing with us over the years have benefited us well.

I can hardly believe we are at this point in our life-and here he is a young man ready to try his fortune with the world.
