VAClassroom - The Ideal Training Ground for Virtual Assistants

vaclassroom.gif Our sister site, VAClassroom.com just opened their doors tonight  (May 19th) at 10pm (EST)! Since I worked on both this project as well as ESalesGuru.com, I can honestly say that over 1000 hours were spent developing this niche Virtual Training Center including  50+ VA training videos, 10 comprehensive training guides, work search resources and so much more.

VAClassroom is essentially a skill-based training center designed to equip Virtual Assistants with the exact "in-demand" skills that businesses are seeking right now in 2008. For example, I recently finished a teleseminar with Marty Fawnkey (Conference Call University) titled: "How Virtual Assistants can profit from the Social Media Explosion in 2008."  We discussed some key strategies on how Virtual Assistants can effectively tap into the hot Social Media VA niche. This teleseminar was essentially a "mini-course’ taken from one of the many comprehensive training courses offered at VAClassroom.

So, the niche opportunities for Virtual Assistants right now are endless! If you are interested in developing your niche skills and expanding your income opportunities, then VAClassroom is worth checking out!

Here is the link to the special offer that VAClassroom is running until 11:59pm (PST) on May 21st.

How Virtual Assistants Can Profit From the Exploding Social Media Movement

For those of you that regularly follow my blog, you will certainly know that I am passionate about Social Media and the huge marketing potential it has for any Internet business today. I have written tons of posts on the topic and have been the feature author on Social Media topics in some major publications such as SiteProNews.

Over the last year, we have seen a shift in thinking among Internet Businesses pertaining to Social Media. In 2007, business were asking the question (with skepticism): "Can Social Media Marketing really be profitable for my business? Is there really any value in hanging out in Facebook Groups, commenting on blogs, networking in Linkedin and sharing videos through YouTube?"

I think these questions have been effectively answered by many of the industry experts who have openly endorsed Social Media Marketing as a powerful business building channel.The real question Internet Businesses are asking in 2008 is: "Okay, we see that Social Media Marketing is a good thing, but how do we actually find the hours in the day to carry out these time-intensive Social Media Marketing activities?

The answer is: You won’t, but a Virtual Assistant can!

Presently, there are endless opportunities for Virtual Assistants to carve out an "in-demand niche in the Social Media realm.  With the right Social Media "know-how", Virtual Assistants can win more clients and grow their income opportunities as a Social Media Marketing VA!
