Technical side of working as a Pinterest Virtual Assistant

Working as a Pinterest Virtual Assistant means you need to have a reliable internet connection.

Most phone carriers also have Personal HotSpot as an affordable add on, which helps you get internet pretty much anywhere.

It’s important to remember that the tools are free in the beginning, and you have the option to upgrade to paid plans in the future once you start making money.
