Virtual Assistant - Bad Buzz

June 23, 2008

I read a long and detailed blog post here on Virtual Assistants.

 You might think that I am unhappy with bad buzz for virtual assistants, but nothing could be further from the truth.  Our goal at Virtual Buzz Assistant is to create a network of people that have specific specialty services that have high value and are in demand.  Plus, we require them to be English speakers.

Part way down in the article, it is mentioned that ideally you could work with a US Virtual Assistant that manages an Indian Virtual Assistant for certain tasks.  That is exactly our goal here.  First our VBA’s become proficient at creating buzz, then I hope they learn how to outsource some of the tasks and oversee the project for quality and proper execution.

I personally think that a Virtual Assistant that does not specialize is doomed to lower pay and has a much more difficult job of selling their general services.  Several times in the past I have thought about hiring a VA for marketing, but I never believed it could be successful because of the generalist nature of the offering.  This network is a direct result.

- Thank You!

    I didn’t intend to create “bad buzz” for VAs. The whole time I was suggesting that people look at hiring one. I just got broadsided by virtual assistants who didn’t think I had any idea how to run my business because they charge more than what I can get good people for and don’t think they need any training on anything. :)

    Thanks for stopping by Mark.

    I have gotten some negative attitude from soome professional VA’s as well about this network (That I cannot teach anything to them) so I know were you are coming from.

Got something to say?
