September 19, 2007 - Roman Forest, TX – Exactly what is it you ask? “The virtual assistant phenomena has erupted into a whole new concept of working smarter with today’s technology from your own home, thereby saving business owners thousands of dollars yearly in overhead costs”, says Denise Sustaita, a virtual assistant and business owner of Dedicated Executive Solutions.
Today’s men and women are looking for a better, smarter way to work while raising their family, says Denise. Since 1996 more than 20,000 administrative professionals around the world have become VA’s. More than 90 percent of them are highly-skilled working mothers who choose to start their own businesses.
Virtual Assistants or VA’s are independent entrepreneurs who use the latest technology to deliver professional administrative, creative, managerial, technical, business back-office and/or personal support services to busy professionals. Clients only pay for the time actually spent working on projects and often retain a fixed amount of hours per month for services.
In addition, there are several organizations that VAs are usually affiliated with like the International Virtual Assistance Association (IVAA), Virtual Assistant Networking Association (VANA) and the Virtual Assistant Chamber of Commerce (VACOC).
Denise Sustaita is an entrepreneur; a home based, administrative and Internet-savvy virtual professional working for clients she has yet to meet in person. Her company specializes in administrative and executive solutions, word processing, and desktop publishing services.

Not only is this idea catching business owners’ attention, it is also catching the media’s attention. On May 24th, 2007, MSNBC released a segment titled “Virtual Assistants - A New Way to Work From Home.” In addition, ABC news has released segments pertaining to mothers working from home, and a skyrocketing number of new web based organizations like Home Based Working Moms (HBWM), My Mommy Biz and Momtrepeneurs.com have made headline news.
As corporate downsizing and budget cuts continue, VA’s will continue to be in great demand. According to a recent study from Salary.com, a company paying an executive assistant $25.00 per hour, to work 40 hours per week will earn a total of $74,041.00 at the end of the year after all benefits are paid.
However, a company paying a VA $30.00 per hour, while working only 30 hours per week (you only pay for the time they are actually working) will earn $46,800.00 at the end of the year – a savings of nearly 40% to the business owner – reducing overhead costs dramatically!
“In addition to reducing overhead costs, allowing a VA to focus on the daily administrative duties will give the business owner more time to focus on what is important – their business” says Denise. If you spend only 2 hours per day working on administrative tasks, you will spend an entire quarter working on administrative tasks by the end of the year.
The VA industry is rapidly growing as business owners rely more on technology, while saving tremendous amounts in overhead costs. A George Washington University report estimates that by 2008 the Virtual Assistant industry will be generating $130 billion dollars in revenue.
