Virtual Assistant Training
February 2, 2008
I’m often asked about virtual assistance. Many Mom’s like the idea of becoming a virtual assistant. I used to own a VA business and it did quite well. I’ve coached a few new VA’s lately and one has seen huge success in a very short amount of time.
VA’s are in demand and the supply has not overwhelmed the demand…there is always a need for VA’s. The problem that many Mom’s run into is that they think they don’t know how to perform enough tasks to open their VA doors. Or they don’t think they know enough and so they open them up at a very low rate because of it.
If you’ve been wanting to open your VA doors, or you have and you’ve been running into projects that you just simply don’t know how to complete, then what I’m about to share with you will be just what you need.
Alice Seba opened a membership site a few months ago called Outsourcing Sweetie. This website was originally created as a resource for business owners who want to employ VA’s and other assistants. The program comes with calls, access to advice from Alice and her team, an option to use her team of assistants, and monthly training sheets to train your VA’s on tasks.
So, how does this help you? A funny thing happened…VA’s began joining Outsourcing Sweetie for the training sheets. Every month these VA’s get trained on a wide variety of tasks that’ll help them expand their skill set and the types of projects they could take on from clients.
I’ve had the chance to review the website and was very impressed. So much so that I gave Alice my testimonial of the website and have publicly stated that I would have greatly benefited from this site had it been around when I was a VA.
I don’t give my stamp of approval on many products and services…I’m picky. And this one…this one gets a 10 out of 10, two thumbs up, and all that jazz.
If you want access to this month’s training sheets you can get that for only $5.00! That $5.00 gives you two weeks in the membership site and access to this month’s training sheets. You’ll find the list of sheets below. If you decide to keep the membership past the two weeks you’ll then have access to all the archived training sheets, calls, experts and more.

That’s a GREAT idea! I was really impressed by the training sheets you highlighted! I was thinking, my gosh, I know how to do most of that and I never really think about how neatly that can be broken down into training sheets! I will definitely link that site on my blog as pass it along to friends who have expressed an interest in telecommuting as a VA or something similar. Might have to sign up for some of those training sheets myself!
I have prcheased your Transcription course> I am eager to get started, with my first transcription client. Hwoever, I cannot seem to find anyone willing to take a chance with a new comer. I was thinking aboaut getting started by contacting local businesses. Who would need my services. How do I get my foot in the door. I tried Guru, eLance, and other freelance sites, I don’t have any experience. I am using the software the Amazing Slowdowner. Please get back to mee, at your convenience of course.
Thanks
