Hi Jemelyn,
I understand the doubt and confusion whether to believe if this work at home thing works or not as there are so many scams out there. Don't worry, almost everybody felt that way, too. Including me.
Let me answer your questions...
"Is this real?"
Why, yes =) I personally attended Jomar's seminar sometime ago and after a month of doing what he instructed us to do, I landed a gig. Fortunate enough, I landed this gig. After attending or downloading the seminar, you will also meet other VA Seminar graduates in our secret Facebook group. They will be your support group. =)
"Will I be paid?"
Yes. How? How do you want to get paid? Through PayPal or bank transfer? Jomar teaches VA students how to spot a scam job posting, so as much as possible, you won't have to deal with scams.
"What skills should I have?
The basic skill you need to have is that you can browse the Internet with ease and you love self-studying. There are a lot of types of VAs so you don't necessarily need to acquire the skills some VAs have. Do you know how to use Facebook? Send an email? Attach a photo in an email message?
You do?
Great.
Now, there are a lot of contractors in oDesk talaga. So it would really be a challenge to land a gig. But here's the thing, Jomar will teach you how to have an edge over the other contractors in oDesk. Having this advantage, employers will prefer to hire you over the others. How's that? =)
The last jump is the only thing between where you are and where you want to be. So, go ahead. Take that leap!
