FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Social Network offers Virtual Assistants A Place to Connect
VAVillage.com opens its
doors to Virtual Assistants around the globe for
free networking and resource sharing.
Since businesses
learned that they could outsource work such as accounting,
transcription, billing and more to contractors that would come to their
office and pick up
work and deliver a finished product the virtual assistant business has
been thriving.
Before the internet allowed virtual assistants to work from home, the
weekly or daily
pick-up and delivery of work allowed virtual assistants to talk with
their clients and catch
up with the ladies in the office. Now, virtual assistants offer
services such as project
management, sales, graphic design and more, but they do it while rarely
ever meeting
their clients face to face.
One network, VA Village, has recently launched a networking site where
virtual
assistants of any specialty can connect with one another.
Jerri Palumbo, owner of Virtually Achieved and founder of VA Village
stated, “It is important for professionals that work from home to
have a place where they can connect and network with
others in their field. Not only does it offer an opportunity to share
ideas, talk about ways to find
work or manage clients and how to handle certain specialties such as
writing, graphic
design, etc., it also offers an opportunity to talk about life outside
of work. Sometimes it
is tough being so virtual and my hope is that VA Village will allow
virtual assistants of
every specialty to join our free community and feel connected.”
With thousands of virtual assistants working from home and more joining
the profession
every month, many of them find themselves feeling cut off from people
who understand
their way of life.
“Being a virtual assistant without connections outside of your
clients can be difficult for various reasons. The biggest complaint
many VAs have is that their husband or friends don’t know what it
is like to work from home or why you talk their ear off the minute you
speak to them in person or on the phone. Everyone needs interaction
with someone who understands what you do for a living and why you do
it. VA Village is perhaps the best resource I have found where I can
connect with other virtual assistants
and talk about work or life and they get what I am saying,”
stated Marissa Convoy a
member of VA Village.
###
VA Village is a free social networking site built with Virtual
Assistants in mind. The founder of VA Village, Jerri Palumbo, is a
virtual assistant who operates Virtually Achieved, a virtual assistant
service which offers various services to business men and women all
over the United States.
