My name is Paul Cutright and my wife and creative partner, Layne, are relationship coaches and educators and also authors of several books. We took our business online in 1997 and never looked back! However, it grew to be more than we could manage by ourselves, so we began looking for a Virtual Assistant to help us. Enter Tawnya Sutherland who has worked for us for about five years. I honestly don't know how we would run our business without her amazing skills. We have other VAs also, but Tawnya has been responsible for helping us grow our business and still have a life!

Having a great idea is only the first step of a business start up. My research included finding sources for design, fabric, thread, labeling, and machinery. I intended to become primarily a web based business and to do that it was vital to have a really knowledgeable expert to build and support my web site. Customers who shop on the internet are remarkably fickle and I knew I had to get this right from the very beginning. Tawnya listened to my dream and had the skills to bring it reality. She knew that search engine placement is as important as beautiful web design. Tawnya found me the software for a shopping cart that works and is trusted and affordable. All facets of my web based business have been done virtually. I email Tawnya regularly and ask her advice as issues arise. This means I do not have the expense of an in-house web designer. Tawnya keeps up to date on software developments and recommends products that will make my e-business flow more smoothly and suit my specific needs and budget. As the orders come in from the web site I can concentrate on completing the sale knowing Tawnya has the web covered.

Janice Byer has been my Virtual Assistant for 7 years. Her creativity and knowledge as both my VA and web designer has kept my award-winning website in the top 20 for years. Her ideas and suggestions to stimulate design and sales are money in the bank as orders of my books keep coming in from Dubai, Hong Kong, Singapore, and around the world. She's the one I can COUNT on. This is very important to me since my unique parenting book and marriage manual are in demand worldwide through my website:- www.guideyourchildren.com

A virtual assistant has helped me get my books off the ground. I had no idea where to start after I wrote my first book, but I knew I had to get a web site in which to make my books available. Docutype.net was recommended to me and I made that first phone call. It seem after that moment everything started to fall in place for me. Not only did I find a web designer who designed an attractive web site for me but I found a desk top publisher to edit and do my layout of the illustrations. She found me a publishing company to help publish my books. I can assure you this took a lot of stress off me and I started to enjoy writing my other books. Hooray for my VA!

A Virtual Assistant is like another employee that has all the knowledge she/he needs to do their job, without your having to guide them. They are trained in their field, have great interpersonal skills, and can manage to finish whatever project you need, in a timely manner. The best thing is that you can always use email to reach them, they are there waiting, like an online buddy. I wouldn't trade my VA for anything, she's the best.

My virtual assistant, Christine Buffaloe of Serentiy Virtual Assistant Services, has helped me: --Create new revenue streams by letting me unload on her all the drudgery work I hate, leaving me free to brainstorm and develop new training programs and products --Given me greater exposure on the Internet by choosing the best blogs where I can post comments. She's also posted numerous articles to article directory websites. --Given me the chance to promote her as my customer service manager, even though she's an independent contractor, not a fulltime employee. As an Internet marketer, this is very important. --Clean up typos and other errors in my own website copy, articles, newsletter, blog, etc. She serves as a proofreader. I couldn't do without her!

Our VA ia always there for us at odd hours doing business in a professional manner.

My virtual assistant has been a godsend. As a small business oeprator I don;t the work load to require a full or even part time employee and I really hate the thought of having to keep a part time employee busy. My VA works when I call her, is competent in all applications and business situations and has given me insight into marketing and promotional materials.

Living in a rural community on an island off of the east coast of Canada requires an entrepreneurial person to leverage as much as possible in order to have a successful business. Throw in the mix being a single mom and living in a 150 year old house - I need all the help I can get. Thanks to my virtual assistant, Jaime Lee Mann from www.mannmadetime.com I have been able to get my new marketing business off the ground by utilizing her huge arsenal of expertise. She also tells me to breathe sometimes and takes the edge off of being a solo-preneur by being there whenever I need her. I love my VA. Jaime has done everything from brainstorming sessions, to editing letters, to going to client's offices to set up systems, mailing letters, did I mention all of the advice she gives? I have out-sourced projects to many professionals over the years and using a virtual assistant has been one of the best returns on investment that I have ever made.

I have wanted to hire an assistant for some time now but could not afford to give them the hours per week they would deserve. Then I had a conversation with Pamela Cendejas at Second Self Virtual Assistance. She spent so much time with me not only listening to my concerns but sharing with me a solution. I have just started using Second Self on an “as needed” bases to help me with my website. Upgrades to my website were something I have wanted to accomplish for over a year now. Pamela had it done in less than 10 hours. The staff there is an absolute joy to work with. As my Real Estate Business grows I will definitely use the team at Second Self Virtual Assistance more and more so that I can make the best and highest use of my time. I can’t say enough about the folks at Second Self Virtual Assistance. They know how to get the job done proficiently and cost effectively. Thank You Pamela Cendejas.

Virtual Assistants have become a vital part of my real estate team. They are professional and knowledgeable of the real estate market.

I have been using Second Self Office Assistance (Virtual Assistance) for almost 2 years now and don’t know what I would do without them. Their service has been absolutely amazing and I am not the most technologically knowledgeable if you know what I mean. My website is always looking very professional and the returns have been great. They always have suggestions on how to make improvements and I could not be any happier. The time savings alone is well worth the cost.

Not only did I get one of my first clients from VAnetworking.com, after three years in my business...I got another client from the RFP section just a month ago! This is a very valuable board for getting information from your peers and those who have "done it before" - but more importantly, you can get clients by being a member.

If I had to do it all over again, I would have joined sooner and participated even more in VAnetworking than I did. The resources, access to RFPs, and the seminars are truly life-changing (and business changing!) Don't spend a bunch of money on some training program that has teachers that may or may not be any good. Tawnya's VBSS system, as well as her forum, have been proven time and time again to be all you need for true business success as a Virtual Assistant.
Jennifer Gniadecki - Atypical VA

“In the time I’ve been a member at VAnetworking, my virtual assistant business has grown from having zero clients to a near full time practice. I attribute a large part of that success to having a place like VAnetworking to come to for helpful, friendly advice, to find solutions to problems, to learn about new ideas and techniques, and to find talented virtual assistants who have helped me grow my business.”
