VA Specialties - We want to hear from you!

My partner Tina Forsyth and I are offering a class today about a new trend in the Virtual Assistant industry - **Specializing**.

Over the last 9 months we’ve heard a lot of business owners tell us that they want an expert VA - one who specializes in a specific area versus a VA who does it all.

Tina and I have identified 14 specialty areas and we’ll be sharing them on the call today. To learn more about these, you can sign up for our free ecourse at www.HotSkillsVATraining.com.

You’ve likely heard about many of these specialty areas and you may even know quite a bit about them …. so how do you decide where you want specialize and what services you want to eliminate? We’ll share more about this on the call and also via several channels - blog posts, articles, ezines etc. over the next few weeks.

We want to hear from you….

  • What area do you specialize in?
  • Why did you decide to specialize in this area?
  • How did you change your business to focus on this area?

Looking forward to your details!

~ Cindy

    Hi Cindy and Tina,

    Another great and informative class today! I can’t say that I’m actually specializing in any area just yet but I’m fast on my way. From the list of specialties you listed, I feel that I’m am fairly strong in the following areas:

    * Affiliate Management
    * Traffic & List Building
    * Blog Support
    * Article Marketing
    * Newsletter & Broadcasting

    I’m curious … if I want to get even better in a particular area like Affiliate Management or Social Media in the way you described in our call today, do you provide additional training in these areas or can you refer us to excellent training programs?

    The five tips you left us with were phenomenal! Thanks for all the research you’ve done on discovering what clients are looking for and willing to pay nicely for!

    Thanks Karen .. at http://www.HotSkillsVATraining.com we’ll be offering a variety of new training in the future. At this time we do not have an Affiliate Management program but Social Media, we highly recommend Craig’s program http://www.HotSkillsVATraining.com/vaclassroom
