I have come up with a new method which I hope will help me to become much more efficient at making money online. A few weeks ago, I signed up with a company called GetFriday to provide me with a personal assistant in India. To get things started, I signed up fro the 10 hours per month package For $95. The hourly price can go as low as $6.25/hour based on the number of hours in the package.
Shobana, my new assistant works from 9AM to 6 PM Pacific Time, and I can contact her via email or an 800 number. She has a college degree, and her English is very good. So far, I have had her work on a few task such as entering data from various websites into a spreadsheet for me. I used this information to populate the mysql databases for one of my sites. This is work that I would have done myself in the past. It is a huge help for me to be about outsource these manual tasks so that I can spend my time working on more important tasks.
Some of the jobs that I may give to my assistant are:
- Data collection. I have a few ideas for some databases that would be worthwhile to build.
- Approving term papers and essays. I have an old database of a few thousand papers where 30% of the papers are junk. I will have the assistant find the good papers and post them to my free essay site.
- Collecting royalty free images to build free screen savers. I am still kicking this idea around, but it may be a modified version of this screensaver monetization technique.
- Content Creation. I cannot see having her writing for Monetize Traffic, but Shobana may be very helpful writing basic content for some of my other properties.
- Research. I am sure I will be able to think of some topics that she can help me to research.
Hopefully, having an assistant will help me to get more done. I will keep you posted on my experiences.

I’ve been looking all over the net for examples of different types of work to give my virtual assistant. As I mentioned on my site, http://www.outsourcedmylife.com, I’m in a rough spot because I’ve run out of “basic” things for her to do. Your site gave me some ideas, but where can I find more!?
