User Ratings and Reviews
5 Stars So much information here….
I have been stalking the Virtual Assistant profession for about 8 years now….back when information was really really scarce. Over the years, I’ve collected information here and there and always said as soon as I get my business established I would compile a book so that others interested in the VA field wouldn’t have to dig the way I had to. Well, Diana Ennen and Kelly Poelker beat me to the punch. And they really nailed it. Everything is covered here. As an added touch there’s commentary from other VAs that provide hints and tips on their breakthru into the industry. If you are considering the profession, please do yourself a favor and pick this book up ASAP.
5 Stars Virtual Assistant-The Series, very information!
I ordered Virtual Assistant-The Series and it arrived 2 days later!
This book is very informative and has very important information to help get started and continue on as a Virtual Assistant. Any questions I had, were all answered in this book. The book is like a “workbook” with easy reading with larger type. I refer back to it all the time and it is kept right on my desk.
5 Stars Great for new Virtual Assistants
It’s a book designed for new Virtual Assistants to give them a headstart into their new business, but you will need other resources later on. If you need a clearly written beginner book, this is the one for you, but I would also recommend adding other resources to your VA collection.
What is missing is the new Web 2.0 information any VA nowadays requires, such as social media marketing, ecommerce, blogs, etc.
3 Stars Somewhat helpful
I liked the book in its conception. It did in fact put a lot of things on my to do list that I may have otherwise not known to do. However, I would have liked a more HOW TO approach, for example…the very important part about business licenses, they gave a very brief summary of the different types of licenses, with absolutely no mention of where to get started in acquiring the licensing application, and forms. That part was very difficult for me and it would have been nice to be pointed in the right direction at least. Also, there was a lot of commradery marketing…I noticed that the “real” people testimonials that were giving real experiences and feedback, when I visited their sites, were not as open to assist and offer advise as proposed in the book…a lot of the sites were marketing pages for businesses with no way offered to contact the owners. That was a little discouraging.
Overall, the book touches on very key points to consider in doing your virtual business but it is very general in mentioning those things…anyone who gets this book should be prepared to do a lot of internet research, and spend time at the library because all of the must know information is elsewhere.
5 Stars A must-read for anyone considering the VA Industry
Anyone who is interested in starting a Virtual Assistant business should read this book. It includes the all essentials you need to know to start and build a successful business.
