Contestant's Case to Win

The Virtual Buzz Assistant network was created because we saw a HUGE need. Small businesses wanted to create buzz but could not afford agencies, and many people wanted to work from home but starting a general virtual assistant agency is vague and does not have as clear value proposition as would be nice.

We started the network to train virtual assistants to be virtual buzz assistants. They get training in Internet and Buzz Marketing skills. Then we also provide ways for businesses to submit projects for free and the Virtual Buzz Assistants can review them and contact those that interest them.

We wanted to create a true win/win.

The site is only a few months old and already has a PR4, great links and high visibility in search engines. We do know what we are doing - it happened lightning fast.

Ultimately, we should win this competition because we an enabling many people to start higher value home-based businesses.
