It’s good to be clear on what you are looking for in a virtual assistant before hiring one. For example, there is a distinction between looking for a VA that can be an extension of your brand and one that is doing strictly admin tasks and working on information technology tasks. They have different skill sets. You will also find that a lot of VA’s specialize in a couple different areas.
Here are some online sources of Virtual Assistants:
www.getfriday.com -Overseas assistance - lower cost
www.ivaa.org - virtual Assistant Networking Association
www.virtualassitanceu.com - you can submit a request for proposal and receive info from many different VA’s in training.
www.vacertification.com
Google " Virtual Assistant Training" and you will get a few options - and your biggest assistance would to be to ask for a referral from someone. The very best way to find an excellent VA is to ask for and get referrals.
Expect to pay 30-60/hr and to commit to a retainer for Virtual Assistants.
Here are a couple of Virtual Assistants I have been referred to:’
