This is a discussion group for Virtual Assistants!
Virtual Assistants are those who work from home providing professional secretarial/administrative support to individuals and/or small businesses.

Some of the services provided by VAs are:

Wordprocessing, desktop publishing, website design/maintenance, transcription (medical, legal and verbatim), proofreading, marketing support, email & fax management, writing & editing, mass mailings, bookkeeping, event & meeting planning, and database management.

This chat forum is NOT for asking for work but for learning about the VA industry and how to develop a business. We are like a Help Desk with a social side to the group. PLEASE NOTE - if you are not prepared to identify yourself and your interest in this VA forum, your request may be rejected.

If you have come to promote events only, please go to http://va-announcements.com for posting announcements. This list is for sharing and learning about the industry and we want you to participate in the discussions.

Our "rules" are simple and few: PRIOR TO BEING APPROVED, you need to tell us why you want to join.

ANY form of spamming, flaming, degradation or disrespect toward other members or solicitation for work on this list is NOT PERMITTED. Members who are in violation will be subject to removal, without warning. After you subscribe to the list, PLEASE send a short introduction to the group, so that we may get to know you better. To post to the group, send your email to: VirtualAssistants@yahoogroups.com

Group participation is highly encouraged. Without group participation, there is no group. We are excited to have you!
