There's a fun new ebook out that should be a great resource for small business owners and others interested in the virtual assisting businesses. Sharon Williams, a professional VA, spent 45 days "blog hopping" - answering questions from people around the world. She's turned the Q & A into an Ebook.
2007 Virtual Assistant Blog Hopping and Podcast Tour hits the virtual shelves this week.
The new eBook recounts Williams' virtual 45-day trip around the Internet as she visited different blogs and podcasts, responding to 200+ questions about the Virtual Assistant Industry and its annual online convention. She stopped in Australia, Canada, the US, England and other countries, virtually, providing insight regarding the industry's history, technology trends, benefits of working with VAs -- anything blog readers and podcast listeners wanted to know about one of the fastest growing home-based businesses of the 21st century.
A Virtual Assistant (VA) is an entrepreneur providing administrative and other business support services to business owners, remotely. "Savvy small business owners as well as overworked and overwhelmed solopreneurs can now delegate back office, mundane and non-income generating tasks to more than 20,000 work-from-home admin. specialists, while they concentrate on responsibilities that fuel their passion."
Many participants were interested in learning how to build a successful VA practice. Others wanted answers to questions, such as, "Isn't working with a VA more expensive than hiring an employee?"; and, "How can I be confident that a VA who specializes in my industry won't share my business ideas with other clients?" Ms. Williams used the tour to respond to these and similar inquiries from emerging, aspiring and veteran VAs as well as Web-based business owners.
The tour was, and will continue to be an opportunity to educate executives and entrepreneurs about the advantages of working with VAs," states Ms. Williams. It covers many topics including pricing, promotion, marketing, networking, niches, branding -- just about any topic a small business owner and/or VA would be interested in exploring about the virtual assistance industry.
Sounds like a fun project with some interesting insight. Go check it out.
