Dude...that is all over the map as to what you can have them do!
I have VA's do things such as:
Send me mailing lists for MLS listed houses that I want to mail to so I can simply go to the post office
Create and update newsletters to the people on our subscriber list
update our contact lists for our newsletters
create postcard templates
research data on companies or people
update our database of clients
reserve hotel rooms
post replies to bigger pockets...er...wait....

I had a VA working with me who was so good that all I had to do was give her the addresses of some properties we owned and wanted to sell. She could find out all the info, find photos, make up pdf flyers, get them listed all over the Internet, etc. She helped me do research on banks likely to have lots of REO properties. I set up the spreadsheet how I wanted it to look, and gave her some directions on where to get the information, and she was able to produce all the data for me from several different sites. She worked so fast it was hard to keep her busy. She could have easily have moved ahead and done her own deals. She knew how to find comps, and was familiar with all the usual real estate websites. She could work during her night hours (which are our day hours, there's a 12 hour difference) which allowed her to make phone calls to people who called us about buying our properties. Except for going to get me lunch, she could do everything. (Come to think of it, she could have ordered pizza for me, too!)
Hope that helps.
I'm tinkering with some ideas too, a friend opened me up to the possibilities.
I downloaded this software called freemind so I can create a sort of flow chart that breaks down the process of whatever I want the VA to do for me. You can also create instructional videos that record what you are doing on your screen to walk them through processes. That plus Skype and you have a good shot of making it work out well.
