No. 8 Mistake VAs Make
Continuing on in our recent series… Using free accounts such as hotmail, yahoo, etc for their email address. Domains are very cheap to purchase and even if you don’t yet have your own website, there is no reason why you can’t have y...

A 4-Hour Work Week Experiment
I came across an article a few weeks ago at SBInformer about someone who had read Tim Ferriss’ book and he thought he’d try it out and get a VA of his own. Trouble with this is the majority of people who read this book don’t do the...
