VIRTUAL NEWS YOU CAN USE NOW
-----------------------------------------------------------

1) Have you been following the Olympic Events here in my home town of Vancouver, Canada the past couple of weeks?

▌♥ ▌ GO CANADA GO ▌♥ ▌

It's wonderful to see everyone from around the world visiting our gorgeous city. Do drop me a call if you are in the city.

I can't even begin to imagine how much work it was to put this worldwide Olympic event together can you? Amazing!

Speaking of setting up and managing events, here's a F R E E video for you to watch from Craig Cannings on a great new service niche to tap into with your virtual assistant business -> Managing Virtual Events!

These may not be as hard to manage as setting up the Olympics but a very valuable tool to have on your Virtual Assistant service list in 2010.

Starting now...sign up before end of the month!


2) I'm often asked how I ever got into Internet Marketing as a service specialty for my clients. Well, I received my certification as an Internet Marketing Specialist at the University of British Columbia and it cost me over $12,000 at the time.

If only VAclassroom's Internet Marketing Virtual Assistant Certification Program had been around back then, I would have had a much faster and cost effective way to learn about this niche for my VA business. I personally give a thumbs up to this marketing program if you want to get started in learning about Internet Marketing not just for your own business sake but also for your clients!

I've been niched in Internet Marketing with my VA business for quite a few years ever since I realized I could be asking $125/hr for my time instead of $30. What a difference specializing in a specific area has done for the success of my business.

For $197, it's a real steal compared to what I paid for my course back in 2002. Internet Marketing services are a very "in-demand" support service requested by clients nowadays. Read more about it here...

Here's a bonus...anyone that signs up before March 1st, 2010 for this course, I'll throw in a half hour internet marketing consult with me to pick my brain on this topic! Valued at $250. Just order by midnight on February 28th, email me your receipt and I'll honour a internet marketing consult with you. ENJOY!


3) There is still time to sign up and attend The Australian VA Conference.

The location is Melbourne, Victoria and the date is 12/13 March 2010. Professional speakers and VA presenters make the line up for the 2 day event. Here's your opportunity to meet face-to-face many VAs you know online, visit a great location with fantastic shopping before or after the event. Organizers Kathie M Thomas and Anita Kilkenny are VAs who have been in the industry a long time and many will know their names. Early bird bookings close soon so why not make plans now to attend and get your booking in?

4) Don't forget, if you want to attend the Niche Affiliate Marketing System Working (NAMS) at Atlanta, in August, that the rates increase by $100 on Sunday night. Make sure you get in on the Early Bird Pricing!

I've attended the last two NAMS workshops and your business will definitely benefit from attending this start to profit 3 day workshop.
