Imagine how happy a US startup CEO in early stage will be, if they can hire an experienced generalist like you, who can use AI to propel the business faster, for just 24,000 USD in a year, which works out to be way, way, way cheaper for them, while for you its pretty good salary.

And of course, as you prove yourself and the company grows, you can expect faster salary growth!

If you’d like to know more about this role and how to use AI to find clients and perform client work, join us in the bootcamp from 10-12 August, 2-5 PM IST.

👉 Virtual assistant and administrative support - Virtual Assistants and admin support professionals require no specific skill sets beyond English communication, ability to use computers and being diligent to carry out the tasks given to them.

A virtual assistant is like an upgraded secretary/executive assistant in the digital age.

Imagine things that a secretary or executive assistant in the past would do.

Booking travel, managing calendars, sorting & responding to mails, ordering stuff online, coordinating between different people, managing MIS, managing social media accounts, responding to customer support queries - none of these require people to be physically present.

Of course, today, a lot of this gets done through various kinds of apps. But who will run the apps and manage everything? Startup CEOs and busy professionals don’t have so much time.

They need someone to manage all of this.

Hiring people like that in the US or other developed countries is damn expensive. Look how much a virtual assistant in the US earns.

Since people got used to working remotely, they realised that a lot of this work can be done remotely - compared to the US or UK, remote workers in India or other developing countries charge a lot less!

If you want a simple, hasslefree easy job that pays well and is very predictable, then your choice must be virtual assistant and admin work.

While this may sound like a boring job initially, if you realise that you can earn more than a doctor earns in India by doing this work, would you still have a problem❓

If you realise that if you can do this work, build a good track record, you can easily get more and more clients, build a team to handle the extra work, and earn in crores, would you be open to that idea?

We will share more about this work in the bootcamp.

👉 Content creation - If you are a more creative person, you may choose to do content creation work.

- Content creation has quite a few subfields:
- Content writer, copywriter, content marketer
- Video producer and editor, instagram and youtube producer
- Infographic creators
- Podcast producer
- Graphic designer etc.

All these jobs are incredible, and you could earn upwards of $2000 per month working remotely.

If you are not earning enough in your current job, you must explore this.

You can even save many hours everyday which are spent travelling❗️

Even if you just work for a few hours everyday, you can still earn about INR 50K to 80K per month by working from home.

This is much more than what domestic employers pay full-time workers.

There is no need to sacrifice your career for personal reasons or to raise a family anymore, after remote work.

What do you think about this opportunity❓

Given a chance, will you go for one of these remote work opportunities❓

However, keep in mind that the more diverse your skill set is, the more attractive it is for startups to hire you.

You may not have expertise in any of these areas, but that is not an issue at all - you can learn how to do this work in 3-6 months.

You will need to invest 2 hrs/day of consistent effort to follow a specific roadmap. Are you interested in knowing more about it❓

Join us in our free 3-day, live online bootcamp on "Remote work revolution for women - How to land AI driven international remote job" from 10th - 12th August, 2024, 2-5 PM IST.

We will provide a detailed roadmap to do remote work. We show you how to find and pitch to foreign clients. We will also teach you several AI-related skills that you can use to perform real client assignments.

How a mother of an 8-year old girl in Kolkata got INR 50K remote job with a UK startup

Munmun Kundu lives in Kolkata with her family and has 12 years’ experience working in a business development role, but lost her job in July 2022 as her employer wrapped up India operations.
 
She could work at the global back office in Chennai, but it was not possible for her to shift as she had her husband and daughter in Kolkata.  
 
She searched for 1 year, and obtained two opportunities in Kolkata, but they were paying very little in comparison to her previous job, and demanded a 6-day commitment to work from the office. 
 
She was losing her confidence.

After all, many women like her are compelled to sacrifice their careers to raise a family.

Munmun tried to pursue some additional courses but did not get any opportunities as training programs in the market are theoretical and do not offer placement assistance.

Unfortunately, knowledge alone does not help in securing opportunities - one has to learn skills, then develop a track record and build outreach.

Munmun hadn’t yet done that.

After 1 year of trying various things, Munmun started pursuing our course in August 2023.

She started building her track record and doing outreach from the first month itself.

She built her Upwork profile with assistance from our team. She identified her niche to be lead generation, email marketing and virtual assistant.

Our team helped her through the process.

Many new freelancers do not add work samples on their Upwork profile, which is a major reason for not securing opportunities.

Munmun prepared some work samples based on her past work experience and assignments from our courses.

Our team pushed her to prepare a short video introduction for her Upwork profile - this really enables foreign clients to trust freelancers from another country more easily.

Then, Munmun started writing proposals.

In one of her course assignments, Munmun was expected to write 5 proposals, and use AI in the process. The prompts were taught in the class.

She sent about 6-7 proposals, and got her first client in the second month itself - this is an AI startup based in the UK which has seed funding.

Although she had applied for the project on Upwork, she also reached the CEO of the company directly on LinkedIn.

Interesting way to follow-up❗️

The CEO was impressed and he recommended his team to offer her an interview.

Munmun attended the interview and cracked the job.

She works as a Virtual Assistant and a Sales Administrator.

Although she was offered a full-time 40 hours/week commitment, she could only commit for more than 20 hrs/week - which her client gladly accepted.

Given the massive cost advantage a client has in working from a resource in India or a developing country, foreign clients do not usually mind such considerations as long as you can deliver value.

As of today, Munmun works for only 3-4 hours per day, and earns USD 9 per hour, which translates into INR 50-60K per month by working from home!

Every 3 months her terms will be considered for revision and a possible 5% hike.

She is also exploring expansion of her role.

The startup founder has shared his plans to raise a follow-on investment round, and work is going to expand soon!

After just one month of receiving her first project, her Upwork profile is showing massive traction.

She receives at least 1 invitation from a client on Upwork without even having to pitch!

She is recognised as a rising talent on Upwork.

She is currently not accepting new clients as she has her hands full with her existing project.

With remote work, she is able to manage her family commitments very well .

Would you also like to reach a position where you can work from home for international clients and earn a side income❓

Maybe it is hard to find well-paying jobs where you live, or you cannot commute to an office, or you can only work part-time.

These limitations do not need to stop you from getting opportunities.

What can you do❓

International remote work is the answer.

Anyone can start earning from remote work once you learn skills, build a public track record, and do outreach.

Do you want to find out how you can get started❓

Make sure that you join our free, 3-day, live online bootcamp next weekend starting 10th August at 2 PM - where we will give you the plan, show you how to find high-potential international clients (like the ones Munmun reached out to) and teach you several skills for free.

We will also show you how to use AI to pitch and deliver 10x better results than your peers.

Make sure that you set an alarm to attend, as this bootcamp is live only and no recordings or presentations will be available.

Comment "Show Proof" to see stories of a few ladies who overcame all these barriers to make a successful career for themselves through remote work.

They are perfect examples of what we are trying to achieve with our free bootcamp on Remote work revolution for women - How to land AI driven international remote jobs from August 10-12, 2-5 PM IST.

These ladies have embraced remote work, so can you❗️

Komal Shah

Komal has been working remotely for almost six years now, and is Co-Founder and Chief Knowledge Officer at SkillArbitrage. Before she joined us, Komal worked in three countries, led an IPO, and headed international legal teams.

But in 2016, she relocated to Mumbai with a three-year-old daughter and did not want to travel two hours every day in the notorious Mumbai traffic to a downtown law firm. She would rather spend those hours with her daughter. At the same time, she did not want to give up on work either.

Enter remote work, which has given her the perfect work-life balance and saved her precious time and energy, which she has devoted to her family and herself. By eliminating the need for travel, Komal feels she has the time and opportunity to grow both professionally and personally.

She still works 12 hours a day, and runs a team that spans across several countries, with her major clients based in Singapore, Dubai, UK and California.

Priyanka Karwa

Priyanka was the first remote employee to join us as we were scaling our startup in 2015. Having shifted to Mumbai post-marriage, Priyanka’s conservative family background meant that while she could step outside the home to work, she still had to fulfil all her family responsibilities. And she was finding it difficult to balance the two worlds.

After the birth of her first child, she herself did not want to leave the baby with paid caregivers. But as a workaholic, she also felt a deep need for a professional identity. When she connected with us, she explained that she was only looking for part-time remote work since her baby needed full-time care, so she joined as a customer care executive.

In the years since then, Priyanka has become a mother for a second time, and has worked her way up to the position of Director of Employability and Placement, helping thousands of our learners find domestic and international jobs, internships, and freelance work.

What’s more, she has used her example to inspire at least 10 other women in her neighbourhood who come from similarly conservative backgrounds, to seek a professional career. A passionate baker herself, she has even tutored home bakers who are now working from home and earning handsomely❗️

Sunayani Ganguly

A veteran of the advertising industry, Sunayani was no stranger to the everyday misogyny of a male-dominated profession. So much so that some of her workplaces didn’t even have separate washrooms for women.

Having worked for some of the biggest names in Indian advertising, Sunayani was also frustrated by what she saw as the inherent ageism of the industry, which makes a woman feel ‘old’ at 40, while her male colleague of the same age is probably seen as ‘experienced’.

Moreover, she also experienced the ‘gender pay gap’ which is prevalent in almost every country in the world, when she discovered that a junior male colleague whom she was asked to mentor was paid the same salary as her.
