Virtual Careers: Earn Dollars At Home, Eliminate Daily Stress, Embrace Your Family More is a 2015 book by Jomar Hilario. The book is inspired by Hilario's How to Work From Home as a Virtual Assistant Seminar which he started conducting in 2010. The book presents the possibility of working and earning a living outside the office setting with flexible working hours. The book advocates that Filipinos now have an option to earn a decent living without having to immerse themselves in office politics, being overworked and underpaid, being stuck in hours of traffic or being away from their family searching for greener pastures as an Overseas Filipino Worker (OFW).

Background
For more than 20 years, Jomar Hilario would only listen to Contemporary Christian Rock music. When he found out that one of his favourite Christian Rock bands, Jars of Clay, is coming to Manila for a concert at the Araneta Coliseum in 2005, he immediately got in contact with the event organizers and asked them, "How can I help in your Jars of Clay concert?"

He was advised to help them sell tickets. As an employee back then, he knew his efforts of going to school and universities after working house will have very little effect to help fill the venue. Then he had a brilliant idea: Connect with Jars of Clay fans online via community groups and hire them to promote the concert online via blogs and Friendster. Little did he know that he has begun hiring and managing virtual assistants now commonly known as virtual professionals.

Analysis
The book consists of real-life stories and testimonies of Filipino virtual professionals who have undergone the training that inspired the book. It also features tried-and-tested principles on building the foundation of a progressing career online that aims to bring you the benefits of having security of tenure, the freedom to work anywhere you are, and the freedom to select your own clients, formulated by Jomar Hilario himself. He says, "The entire book is a lesson on marketing yourself, your skills, online."
