I wasn`t sure where to post this but was talking with a few other members who were interested in the results of our survey on Virtual Assistants when it was available so here they are :)

Our survey at the Virtual Assistant Networking Association (VANA) was put forth to answer the Who, What, When, Why & How about Virtual Assistants and bring more awareness to this exciting career workable from home.  761 Virtual Assistants gathered together to participate in our survey and you can click here to read the results.

I had bad experiences with home-based Virtual Assistants before. They usually gave me lousy last-minute output so I decided to look for a company that provides office-based skillful VAs that are being monitored, assuring entrepreneurs like me that my VAs are being productive and are working full-time. A friend referred Hireinthephilippines.com to me and I'm currently working with one of their VAs. So far, I am happy with their work.

 

I hope this information could help those who have VA problems.
