In order to make ends meet, laid-off individuals developed small service companies where services could be rendered with a relatively lesser charge.
For survival and profit optimization also,
jobs such as programming, secretarial duties, legal duties, advertising, administrative duties etc are nowadays outsourced to persons who are paid on per job basis as against monthly payment; which is more economical to the medium scale entrepreneur and favourable to the service provider.
Virtual Assistance although not practiced only as an alternative for out of work persons, it can also be adopted by persons who do not want to work for any company or body (freelancers). It is a profession which can be said to have emerged out of necessity to meet the two stated needs viz: Provision of professional skill at lower rate and the need to maximize profit by small and medium scale industries.
