Awesome to hear that Cody, thanks for checking out the site! VA's are great - those and independent contractors are invaluable if you can find good ones. I'm down to grab a drink - let me know the next time you're in FL :)
Will do man. I travel all over, but unfortunately I don't make it to FL very often. Just as I was rolling pretty good with the blog (thanks for stopping by btw) you got me all interested in this importing jazz haha. I looked into this several times in the past, but you really explained it a lot better. Damn that freaking entrepreneur ADD...
Haha, you can see which way I chose to go ;)
Will, I have really enjoyed your site, tons of good information. Would you mind if I ask how you monetize this site (or do you)? I have expertise in several area but can't figure out how to make money other than selling related products. I see blogs all over but cant figure out how they make it pay. Thanks in advance, I really enjoy the clear info and motivation you provide.
Glad you enjoyed the site Bob! I monetize StartupBros through my own coaching and consulting programs, as well as our book</a> and online courses (that last link isn't finished yet though). Basically, build an audience and then give them what they ask for - easier said than done. We'll have an online course for that soon too, I'm sure :-P
Hi Will May I suggest info on business models would be helpful to your clients also the best crowd funding sites ? interview those who have successfully used one /
Great idea Ian, I'll add it to the list! :) Good to hear from you too, hope you are doing well
Not only do you have a great site going here Will... But it is everything that a small start-up needs to hit the ground running! I'm always looking for new ways to find new clients by thinking outside the box and I can always read between the lines in your articles to market myself by thinking like the client that might hire me. I've been a VA for 18 months now and I love the like minded people that are involved in the VA world. So many creative ideas come out of this style of technology! One contributing factor that I believe makes this industry so desirable is that I can work for a client in a completely different area where we both get knowledge and understanding of a different way of living i.e. Miami vs San Francisco! I believe this is a fairly untouched subject when talking about the benefits of hiring a VA. If you don't mind I would like to plug myself. I am a fully active VA of 18 months based out of the beautiful mountains of Northern California. Anyone who thinks they may need my assistance can contact me through my website - I know what it is to be the "good" VA for an entrepreneur or small business if you know what you are looking for. Thanks again Will!! Great read!
Just used this as a resource in my latest eBook - great stuff, guys!
HI Will thank you for the articles you have written they are very interesting. What are your thoughts about selling Electronics, Tablets,maybe smaller items??
Hi Will, I'm a VA based in South Africa and I've been working as a VA for 7 years now. Thank you for the great read. Your article is informative and an excellent guide on how to hire a quality VA. My target market is the startup world and fellow entrepreneurs. I'm gaining fantastic traction in my home country and I'm excited to see where this journey is taking me. Thank you for all your great insights. I look forward to reading more!
Would be nice to dig on that online course whenever it's ready, of course! I'm a VA too and I would love to stay updated and be connected with other VAs and entrepreneurs of the same field. Otherwise, solid post you got here.
Hi John, Very good points here. I feel like the new generation will do away with traditional marketing and focus more on digital. With that said, the next 10 years will change how we market products and services and who carries out the tasks.
Well explained. Thank you. I was not confident earlier to get a VA. After i hired one from Habiliss, they made my life simpler. Any kind of research, appointments and calls i won't want to make, I give them and they are fast to respond. I think its a revolution in outsourcing personal and business tasks. Thanks again John.
The information is really worthy.I have hired my virtual personal assistant from India they they are very awesome
Hey Tamara, that's awesome! Glad you're hiring and kicking some butt!
Hey John, you're absolutely right. There are so many tasks that you might not want to do or even have time to do that can make you money and grow your business! Hiring a VA would be the perfect solution. Glad it's working out for you :)
I think in 10 years most people won't have traditional jobs and instead will be working for themselves helping other businesses!
Hey William, a VA course would be awesome. There's stuff cooking in the pan!
Hey Karen, it's amazing. The amount of work that someone can find online now is insane! So glad you're doing well and I wish you all the best with your business :)
blog is really a well-explained piece of information about Virtual assistant. I was not confident earlier to get a virtual assistant. After i hired one from Osssisto, they made my life simpler. Any kind of research, appointments and calls i won’t want to make, I give them and they are fast to respond. I think its a revolution in outsourcing personal and business tasks.
Yea, virtual assistants are awesome. It's like having an entire team to help you without the high cost of hiring and training someone!
Thank you for sharing such an informative post. Virtual assistants perform many tasks like web design, web development, admin assistant, personal assistant services, document sharing, appointment scheduling service, social media assistant, content marketing services and many more.
You're absolutely right, we love using virtual assistants as often as we can!
