Hi, my name is Ramsey, I am also new to this site. I have worked as an event planner and personal assistant and I am now trying to branch out on my own and build my own clientel through these forums. If anyone has any amazing tips I would be open to any and all suggestions.

Hi all, I'm a military wife and a full time student (working on my business administration degree). I have a website started but I have no idea about the other details on how to become a VA. I'm going to start out reading the article Dave posted though. Think it helps I have 2 years of experience as an administrative assistant and 3 years of experience as a market research analyst? Or is the VA world completely different?

Hello everyone I am also new to the VA world. Looking to save money for college. I've done quite a bit of clerical work and I'm pretty excited to see how this new venture will go!
