I’ve been playing with Twitter this past week, getting my feet wet, so to speak. I downloaded TweetDeck and I’ve been studying up on the features. One of the features allows you to maintaing an open Search for whatever keyword you like. Of course, my first choice was ‘Virtual Assistant’.
Lo and behold one of the first tweets that pops up is from someone asking about Virtual Assistance. She knew what we did, but she didn’t know how to actually use one.
So what exactly is a Virtual Assistant? Here’s how the IVAA explains it:
“A Virtual Assistant (VA) is an independent entrepreneur providing administrative, creative and/or technical services. Utilizing advanced technological modes of communication and data delivery, a professional VA assists clients in his/her area of expertise from his/her own office on a contractual basis.”
So what does that mean for you and your business?
