It will help us also to set the expectation and standards right for them. Also, it forces them to understand our business and act like us. Then, even if we give them admin projects, it will add more value to us. Also in marketing projects, it might help giving initially contact databases and then perhaps blogs or articles marketing and slowly move from there. I keep tracking all VA forums and this week, i found a list of all admin tasks that can be outsourced at http://www.proresource.com/freetemplate.html. I was surprised to see that there are so many tasks. I feel that i have reached a stage in my working with VA's where i can give them more work. I will be happy to help anyone else who is starting to work with VA's with advice or suggestions. Feel free to write to me. I seem to have lots of time now that 80% of my work is being done by my VA's and i handle only Strategy and Client interactions, loss of face in front of my client. So finding the right VA is important and preparing well ahead on what to ask, expectations, clearly defined work in templates is equally important for this to succeed.

Seeing the length of the virtual assistant's term in working for you should really be put in consideration so you can also see how much your budget can handle. Thanks for the tips.
