Hiring a Virtual Assistant
 
Hi,

Does anyone have any virtual assistant businesses they recommend?

I've had a look at GetFriday, which looks good. (It's the one mentioned in Tim Ferriss's book, "The 4-Hour Workweek.")

However, I'd like to look at some other options too.

I'd want to hire someone for possibly quite varying hours from month to month...

Thanks!

Best wishes,

Dien

Dien,

Hope you're feeling better, doing well and almost back to Good Health...

A Good starting point, unless Lower cost overseas “Outsourcing” options is more your goal... ;)

I'm sure you'll be receiving other Sowpubber recommendations too...

Hi Dien,

Hope you are feeling better.

I have used and have only heard good things about Burn Your To Do List.

burnyourtodolist.com

They work on credits that you buy and can use for anything you want done in Internet Marketing.

Best of Success,

Hi, have you heard of Onlinejobs.ph by John Jonas? You can find proficient VAs in that site. Starting salary for VA on that site is from $200 and that's for a full time job.:) Not bad.

Using a VA from a remote location relieves you of the cost of maintaining staff. Consequently, using a VA becomes cost-effective, timely, and efficient.

I generally just hire my own VA and when they are not busy i just subcontract them out to others.

Before i started hiring them full time i used odesk.com. I like their setup as
odesk allows you to "check up" on you VA quite easily.

My secret place for low cost weapon for "inexpensive labor" is Amazon!
Yes the book seller. https://www.mturk.com/mturk/welcome

Using the credit things though, on a tight budget, is hard to do!

I've never heard of Virtual Assistants. The whole idea seems a bit out of the ordinary.
