Not to mention that not all employee time is productive (think breaks, sick leave, vacations and other downtime). With Virtual Assistance, clients pay only for time VA spends working on their behalf.

That's 100% productive time; you can't get more efficient than that! The Virtual Assistance profession has been around well over 10 years now, and has its own industry associations and certification programs.

Virtual Assistants operate their businesses as professional service providers. They come from a variety of business backgrounds, but common denominator is that they are typically overachievers with extensive administrative experience and superior skill sets and training.

Virtual Assistants are not temps. They are highly-skilled entrepreneurs who love what they do and in business to provide consistently top-quality work to clients to whom they are committed.

Virtual Assistants are commonly interested in establishing long-term partnerships with their clients. As VA learns about owner and his or her business, supporting client becomes more intuitive.

The ideal is to achieve a very simpatico working relationship where VA's support not only instills more efficiency and productivity, but is key to helping client create more time to concentrate on roles they love most while growing their business successfully. Although Virtual Assistants are able to serve clients from anywhere in world, you can find a VA near you by referencing your local Chamber of Commerce directory, or searching Internet using keywords Virtual Assistant or Virtual Assistance + your city or state.

There is also a great Virtual Assistant directory sorted by country and state located at:

For an in depth strategy for acquiring these type of link go my site at http://www.ebizstartups.com and download a free PDF version of report. If you can generate these type of link you are on your way to top of major search engines. But wait a minute. Is it just to generate links to your site? If it is just that, it's easy. Write articles and submit to article submission sites. At bottom of your article or your resource box you are allowed to put in a link to your site using URL of your site. But what good will that do you . It will bring you traffic okay. But that is as long as you keep writing those articles . Once you stop traffic stops. However, links you acquire through articles using your site's URL may only increase your site's link popularity but not link reputation. While link popularity is amount of links that point to your site link reputation is amount of links that point to your site with your keywords in anchor text. Search engines use this anchor text link carrying keyword to judge your link reputation and determine whether your site is an authority site for that keyword. Understand all that? No ? okay let's look at it in another way. If all links pointing to your site have text a s URL of your site. Unless somebody searches using exact URL of you site your site will never be found. And people do not conduct searches using URL like www.ebizstartups.com but if other site pointing their links to your site with link text having for example "link popularity" then you are on your way to top for that keyword .
