Aspire Lifestyles – Work From Home Brand Ambassadors & Concierges

May 16, 2013 3 comments by

aspire lifestyles work at homeAspire Lifestyles is a company that used to be known as VIP Desk. They are currently hiring people to work from home as brand ambassadors and home-based concierges. Training for each position is coming up in June 2013, so I figured now is a great time to get some info out there in case any of you are interested in applying for either position.

Currently Aspire Lifestyles is only hiring people who are based in the US, but they do have sections for Canada and Europe so I’m assuming they anticipate having openings for people in these areas in the future.

Virtual Assistant From HomeA few months ago, I managed to get in with Fancy Hands. There is already a review of them up that I wrote last year, but I wanted to point out a few things now that I have some personal experience.
It’s a Good Job
I really, really enjoy the work. It’s fun to help others and do these little tasks. I think one of my favorite things about it is that you never know what you’re going to be doing. It could be anything from researching hotel costs in some foreign country to calling a place of business to find out if they have something.
It’s Flexible

November 29, 2011 13 comments by

Virtual Assistant From HomeFancy Hands is a company that there has been a lot of buzz about lately. They hire people to work from home as virtual assistants and I think one thing that is making this company so popular is that you’re free to work whenever you want and also much of the work is non-phone! Fancy Hands is new and growing quickly. They were hiring a lot of new folks a couple of months back but it seemed they stopped for a bit. As of the date of this blog post, it appears they are looking for new workers again so I thought this would be a good time for me to do a complete review of…

But then I find a lot of positive comments from people who are or…

Virtual Assistant Companies to Consider

October 11, 2011 12 comments by

Virtual Assistant CompaniesVirtual assisting is a very popular, versatile work at home option. What a virtual assistant does depends on the client’s needs. It could be writing, web design, translation, answering emails, data entry, social media management, transcription, internet research, taking calls — you name it.
