Virtual Assistants & Those Looking for a VA

The first advice I always give about outsourcing is to hire a virtual assistant for even just a few hours per week or month. A VA can do such a variety of tasks and it really is amazing what a weight it can lift. This way you can stay focused on more important things in your business.

One thing I am asked all the time is “Where can I find a VA?” It would be so much easier if I could just send everyone who asks me that question to one central place.

I know many VAs read my blog, so just shout out. If you’re a virtual assistant, post your skills and website URL in the comments section below.

Also, if you know a VA, tell him or her about this entry. They can come and post their information here as well.

Alice,

Thank you for this opportunity!

I'm trying to break into the VA business. I can do all desktop publishing related projects. I'm still trying to narrow down a list and work on a web site. I can do flyers, newsletters, brochures, business cards and even books. I can type and proofread also. My email is singlewahm@gmail.com if anybody would like to contact me about their project.

Blessings, Shannon
