Yes, a Mac is definitely more expensive than a PC for virtual assistant work. But using a Mac can give you distinct advantages that most PC using VAs don’t have.

Some people say that outsourcing through a virtual assistant agency makes the process easier, safer and more efficient. But does it really? Brielle started outsourcing using the ‘safe’ route, hiring through an agency. But the thing is, when you hire through an agency, the VA doesn’t really work for you, the VA works for the […]
Before I started working from home, I used to hate working during December. It wasn’t that there was more work to be done during that time.
