Virtual Assistants Benefit Small Business

by John Sternal on July 30, 2009

writing1With small business owners and entrepreneurs constantly in search of extra help yet struggling to maintain a budget, hiring a “Virtual Assistant” might just be a great idea. But what is a Virtual Assistant, how can they help a small business and, more importantly, exactly how much will it cost you? And can a Virtual Assistant be located anywhere in the country - or world - to offer their services? Can they help with social media, marketing, bookkeeping, and other critical areas of your business? These are all very important questions and we want to help you get some answers.

Join the #smbiz Twitter chat on Tuesday, August 4, from 8-9 pm ET, when we dedicate the entire hour on working with a Virtual Assistant. We’ve got a great panel of experts lined up to give us all kinds of answers.

Michelle Mangen (@mmangen), Dawn Pigoni (@dawntrenee), Raven Howard (@virtualraven) and Tara Nelson (@tara_nelson) are all well-known and highly talented Virtual Assistants. They will serve as our guest experts for the #smbiz chat and answer everything we ever wanted to know about what it means to have a Virtual Assistant in our lives.

More and more, entrepreneurs and small business owners are learning of the benefits to working with a virtual assistant.

The chat should be very informative (as the Tuesday smbiz Twitter chats usually are). I can’t wait to join in!

Great idea!!! We need to educate the world more about the industry and benefits. So many people still tell me they have never heard of a Virtual Assistant.

I have been providing virtual assistant solutions to both international resorts and remote lodges in Alaska for years and have seen first what it takes to have both a successful and profitable business relationship. I plan to use this article on my website on my Press page. Thanks
