2) COOL VACLASSROOM OFFER: Access the Virtual Events Specialist and Camtasia Training Program Together!
It is evident that Virtual Events Support and Management will be one of the hottest niches in 2010. The stats are revealing of how many businesses are shifting their focus to delivering all types of Virtual Events to their different audiences. The problem is that the bulk of these businesses lack the skills, knowledge and time to effectively set-up and implement their Virtual Events. This is where you will come in!
Craig Cannings along with co-instructor Michelle Schoen had the opportunity to chat about the state of Virtual Events in 2010. You can access this 18 minute interview as well as all the details on this new program by going to the below link.
PLUS, VAClassroom is offering a special course bundle package (Just for May) that includes both the Virtual Events Specialist Program as well as the new Camtasia Video Training for VA course together for one special price.

3) My apologies, I sent out the wrong link to our webinar last week for you to listen to so here is the correct info…CHECK IT OUT!
WEBINAR DETAILS: WANT to WRITE better SALES COPY? Last week we had a very informative webinar with Steve Slaunwhite on COPYWRITING and how to add this new revenue stream to your VA business. Most VAs work with clients who frequently need copywriting help. These clients need web pages, press releases, sales letters, blog posts, brochures and other marketing materials written. If you can offer this service to your clients, you can increase your income substantially. Steve Slaunwhite teaches you what you need to know to add “copywriting” as a new revenue stream, get copywriting work from your clients, and write effective copy.

(Please give it a couple of minutes to load as it is a 1 hour long webinar)
Steve offered our members $100 discount off his Secrets of Strategic Copywriting Course which I’m taking right now and learning how to fine tune my sales pages! Take advantage of this limited time offer now which expires this week.

5) I’m STILL scouting out Virtual Assistants who’d like to share their business experiences/skills/niches and speak at our upcoming VAvirtuosos Seminar Series. If you’ve got something to tell/teach your business colleagues to help their VA business succeed, why not step up to the podium and share? It’s a simple way to gain experience speaking to an online audience through a webinar environment if you’ve been thinking about doing some public speaking as a side line income.
VAinsider Club MotiVAtor
Do you have tasks on your to do list that you absolutely hate to do? Many times we let tasks pile up when they are something we absolutely detest. Here is a suggestion … set aside a certain time each day whether first thing in the morning, right after lunch or before the end of your day. Set a timer for 15 minutes and agree to tackle these tasks. When you begin to address the tasks each day they will no longer pile up and you will find yourself feeling a lot less stress.
Your VAinsider Club membership starts at only $7/mth. Not much to pay nowadays to help your business get the upper hand in the virtual service world.
What are you waiting for? Become a VAinsider Club Member (Starting at $7/month).

COMPLIMENTARY virtual business educational webinar this week…
Date: Wednesday, May 26th, 2010 at 6PM EST
Topic: How to Make a Website With Wordpress {Which, by the way, is FREE!}
Presented by: Angela Wills
Topic Summary: Ever since I started making blogs AND websites with Wordpress back in 2006 I’ve never looked back. After going through learning code by hand, trying out tons of programs and becoming frustrated with my options I feel in love with Wordpress and the power it holds. It’s not just for blogging.
This webinar will cover the basics of what you need to make a website with Wordpress, including choosing a host, getting set up, what to look for in a theme, some cool plugins and more. Wordpress design, updates and maintenance is also in high demand as an outsourced skill.
I’m on a mission to show you how free doesn’t always mean ‘no value’, especially when it comes to Wordpress!
