Pros

  • • Very versatile because you can offer a range of services
  • • Beginner-friendly because you can do miscellaneous day-to-day admin stuff (email management, calendar management and scheduling, taking notes during meetings, data entry, basic research)
  • • Can unlock a lot of interesting opportunities down the line, learning the BTS of the business

Cons

  • • Low barrier to entry - can get started pretty fast and easily, don’t need specific work experience or in depth industry knowledge
  • • Depending on the type of work you do, could get very tedious and boring doing work that doesn’t really challenge you
  • • Lots of competition with workers from low-income countries that have just as much knowledge, offering their services at lower prices
