What is the one prerequisite to successfully hiring a Virtual Assistant (VA)?

  • a. you have lots of work to do and you are sick of doing it.
  • b. you are stressed and tired from burning the candle at both ends
  • c. you like the thought of having someone in another hemisphere send flowers to your wife for you
  • d. none of the above
  • ANSWER: d.

    Unless you want to pay someone to do “virtual” work and then watch them disappear with your REAL money, you need to know a few things.

    The one prerequisite for successfully hiring a Virtual Assistant is that you need to know how much money your efforts (your tasks, your chores, your routine, etc.) produce. If you are not making ANY money online then, even if you could hire a homeless man for a nickel, you could not afford him.

    NOTE: Don’t be discouraged if this is you….Employ the strategies you learn here at Web2Center and the other sources we recommend and you will soon be in the black.

    Fortunately, many of you out there are making money with your brand of social media marketing of affiliate products or maybe even your own products. You then my friend are ready to employ a Virtual Assistant for the time consuming or tedious tasks that you dread.

    We have an audio interview with an insider that will help you do just that while avoiding the common mistakes of the ill prepared that leave you with a bill from someone who did, “virtually”, no work!. (See audio link below)

    Is hiring a VA worth the investment?

    I have a question for that question…do you like making more money or less? Silly question, I know…

    You see, when trained and contracted correctly, a Virtual Assistant becomes an extension of you or your company that works for a quarter of the cost.

    So, would you like to make 75% more money while only doing the work you like and giving the work you don’t to another qualified, accountable person? Of course you would!
