VAinsiders on the Inside Track to Virtual Success...

Testimonials and Raves from our VAinsider Club Members:

I encourage everyone to join the VAInsider Group. It's a great value! If you are on the fence about spending the money, think of it as an investment in your future. It's a small price per month to belong to and it gives you an opportunity to apply for the RFP's that come in daily. There are some great seminars, offers and downloads just for members. I think I've recouped much of my money just in the forms I was able to use that Tawnya provided free of charge. Give it a try for a year and see what you think. It's a business expense. Make sure you get a receipt and include it in your taxes in January!
Nancy - HRA Global Solutions

Please don't miss this opportunity to upgrade your membership. The forms are a fantastic offer, just the forms alone would be worth the money. Access to the RFP's - we are already seeing results from belonging to an elite pool of VAs competing for the RFP's. Better chances of finding clients, worth EVERY penny! Networking with other supportive, intelligent professionals also investing in their business, and willing to help this industry grow, is a place I want to be, don't you?
Paula - Moneypenny Assistants

Being part of the VAinsiders group is invaluable. Not only do you get to hang out with other great VAs who are taking that extra step in making their business the best it can be, but you also get a whole lot of great extras. The templates, tutorials, legalese samples, and access to RFPs give you that extra little edge your business deserves. There is more stuff than you can imagine and it is all there to help you make your VA business better. If you haven't signed up yet, do it now. You will be so glad that you did!
Darell - Right Hand Man Virtual Assistant

I joined the VAinsiders club earlier this month. I downloaded all the great forms and information that has been made available to us. It was a GREAT deal for the intro price. A couple of months ago I paid $30 for 5 forms from another site that weren't nearly as good as the VAinsiders, plus there are TONS more available here! Also, since the VAinsiders are the only ones who get to see the RFPs now, I have a much better shot at landing a few good clients now. I've already gotten some "possible" responses to RFPs I responded to earlier this week. If I get even one job from those, it was more than worth the money! I do believe this has been a great investment for me and my VA business. I will even renew next year when the price goes up!
Sherra - Quality Practice Management Solutions

I only have one thing to say, if you are really serious about starting your own Virtual Business as a Virtual Assistant, there is only one way to do it and to do it right, and that is by joining the VAinsider Club!!! The information and support that you will receive is like no other. No more staring at your PC screen wondering what is the next step you should take, or what are the how’s and the what’s of the business itself. Free templates download, that will cut down your “set up” procedures, seminars that will open your eyes and your business senses, loads of research material, the availability of promoting your business through the medium of your own business banner, newsletter, RFP’s forwarded to your attention directly to your email… and the list goes on. You want to start that business? Then get off the fence, and make your first “important” decision, become part of the VAinsider group. You will not regret it; make an investment in your own future and the future of your own business. And, let’s not forget, the support and the camaraderie of other business owners that think likewise…this makes my day, and this is where I want to be.
Elenora - Virtual Managing Associates

Invest now and you won't have to figure things out all by yourself. Whether you are a new VA or an established VA with a new challenge (and the need for input on specialized software or a new prepared form), a VAInsider membership puts the tools you need right at your fingertips. In addition, who can put a price on such a great networking opportunity?
Debbie - AVA Professional Support Services

I was honestly on the fence about whether or not to upgrade... but I am so glad I did, and only wish I had sooner! The amount of information and additional resources available is unbelievable... I spent quite a bit of time downloading documents and reading, reading, and more reading. I even spent the better part of the last few days working on my new and improved business plan and what a great feeling of accomplishment and excitement that was... I am convinced that the this is the place to be in order to take my business to the next level...
Kathy - Kathy Fink, Inc.

Just wanted to add my raves about the Insiders too. Having access to the RFP section as well as all the fabulous downloads, and upcoming tutorials, is just such a great deal.
Yvonne - Swift Office Services

I just spent several hours downloading and previewing all the great forms, tutorials and other goodies that came with the VAinsider Club membership. What a pleasant surprise. Thank you so much! All of the forms and tutorials are wonderful. In one of my other lives, I was a Forms Management supervisor for a large corporation so I very much appreciate having everything in one place and not having to reinvent the wheel. Having free access to all of these business building aids is invaluable. A great time saver allowing more time to network and develop our client base. Great work. I look forward to the VAinsider Club.
Angelica

All I can say is, "Ditto, ditto, ditto!" In addition to all the features mentioned above, I've really enjoyed reading the posts in the mastermind discussion area. In just the past few weeks since the VAinsider Club was launched, we've already had several enlightening discussions. So far, we've discussed the following topics:* Are high-maintenance, high-yield clients worth it? * What do you do when your guesstimate goes over your initial quote? * How do you handle potential conflicts of interest? It's been entertaining and educational to read other people's opinions on these topics, and I can't wait for future topics! Since the VAinsiders Club is private, everyone can be open and honest about their feelings on these and other controversial topics without wondering who's reading. It's a great learning experience for new and veteran VAs alike. I'm also looking forward to getting to know my fellow VAs on a deeper level. What a great online networking opportunity! As everyone else has said, the templates and the business plans alone are worth far more than the introductory price. You really have nothing to lose. I hope to see many more of our members join! See you there!
Angela - Accu-Assist

As a new person starting out over the past few months, I am so glad that I joined the VAinsiders Club. The information and downloads are invaluable. It saves so much time with everything in one place. The support of Tawnya and all the others is so important. As the saying goes, no question is stupid. Everyone helps each other with support and friendship - like one big family. I recommend the membership upgrade to everyone. No question about it. Enjoy!
Heather - Administrative Connexions

I agree--VA Insiders is a great value! The downloads alone are worth plenty more than the price, but I'm especially enjoying the Mastermind Discussion forum. There's lots of great debate from all viewpoints on Tawnya's hypothetical business questions.
AnnaLisa - Admin Maven

I joined up just the other day and already I have got so much back from becoming a VA Insider member! Thank you Tawnya for access to so many useful forms and other goodies that go with upgrading to a VA Insider for such a great price! I am just starting out as a VA and have been working over the past month or so to get all the processes in place... and wow there is so much to think about! It has made such a difference having access to so many well thought out sample forms and tools, which you can tell have been developed through many years VA experience. I can already see that my upgrading has been a very good investment and will help me in getting my business off the ground! Thanks once again!
Rachel

I joined the VA Insiders and it's one of the best things I have done for my business. VAnetworking has been a tremendous help for me and my business and by joining this elite group, I have access to the RFP system and great downloads. If you haven't joined, don't wait any longer. Do it now! You won't regret it!!
Terri - A Virtual Business Solution

The deal is a great one if nothing else ever was added. However, I'm seeing that the Insiders are committed to having the group be a growing entity that lets members keep growing. Remember the official launch is only a couple weeks old and already the members are seeing practical benefits. In this view of all that is so wonderful, each of us has to function where we are. For those who are absolutely straining to build a business with next to no investment (I've been there), the truth is there will be more work in their future to stay alive as a VA. It can be done and all who do it are to be admired, but their opporuntities for shortcuts are limited. Again, sometimes there is nothing that can be given up that will result in cash, but sometimes there is. It might mean taking a onsite project that ends up with Now money. I have a friend who used to get a waitress job for two-three months before vacation so she would have some money to spend on vacation. She hated working outside her home, but took what skills she had to push herself to attain what she wanted. As soon as she did, she went back to doing what she wanted to do most.
JudyAnn Lorenz - Bar JD

I found once I started investing in my business that my business started to grow. The forms alone make the insider membership fee worthwhile, not to mention the mastermind discussions. Oh, I almost forgot the RFPs! With a reduced number of members seeing the RFPs I have a far better chance of landing those clients. I already responded to one yesterday and got a call back today!
Sally - Virtual Simplicity

As I'm just starting my business I hesitated about whether to spend the money on something like this, but I'm so glad I did. You couldn't get better value for money anywhere - the templates alone are worth more than this introductory price! I'm looking forward to fast-tracking my business and client list with the help of the VAinsider Club.
Levi - VA Flex

Being a VAInsider has been one of the best choices that I've made with my small investment. Having access to the many, many templates, forms, tutorials, archived seminars, and RFP's more than pays for the membership fee. Plus, we can learn online marketing techniques and tips directly from Tawnya in the VAInsider monthly seminars. But, the icing on the cake is networking with other like-minded VAs who are serious about running a successful business.
Ruth - Maplewood Virtual Assistance

This is a great opportunity for us all. I am a member and love it.
I also have the VBSS System. The two combined can help you take your business from so-so to great. Thanks Tawnya for all you do!
Lisa - LG Creative Assistance

I started to write a post explaining what benefits I have already gotten out of my VAinsiders Membership and how I plan to maximize my membership going forward. However, the message ended being way too long. So, in an effort to highlight everything and also keep it short for the forum I decided to post an article titled, "Virtual Assistant Networking Exclusive Offer ~ VAinsider Club Membership" on my blog. In this article, I have illustrated my favourite tools at VAnetworking, the benefits I have already received through my VAinsider Club Membership, and how I plan to continue to maximize my VAinsider membership benefits. Here is a snippet from the article, "Exclusive Marketing & Advertising Opportunities: Did you know that VAnetworking gets over 4,500,000 hits a month? Where else can you afford to advertise on a site that gets this amazing amount of traffic? You could have a banner ad for as low as $50 per month. Imagine how impressed your clients and leads would be if you had a “client spotlight” section on your website and could tell them that you advertise with a banner ad on a site that generates 4,500,000 hits a month."

With that being said, I would like to share yet another amazing BONUS of my VAinsider Membership that I implemented just last week. Tawnya's Business Plan Template and Tawnya's Financial Template. These 2 documents will save me countless hours of work and I mean countless. For example, I recently got accepted into a 52 week entrepreneurship course offered through my provincial government. I am currently attending class 3 full days a week for 10 weeks just to learn how to create an effective business plan. This doesn't include the time I will have to spend actually creating the plan. And, as you know the information available today from a virtual assistant perspective is very limited. I have a deadline of Dec. 31st to have my final plan approved by the instructors or else I am booted out! So now, you can see how much this tiny percentage of VAinsider Membership Benefits has already moved my business forward. Once this business plan is complete, I will be able to walk into any bank with full confidence of securing the funds I need to invest in myself and my business development.
Frances - Ultimate Biz Assistant

I know that for many VAs starting out, money is a big concern, and investments in your business have to be carefully chosen. One of the best investments you can make in your business is joining the VA Insiders! As a VAInsider, you get access to RFPs, business templates and contracts and other valuable downloads -- not to mention the marketing seminars, and the invaluable networking opportunities. Joining the VAInsiders is a critical part of a successful VA's business plan -- which, it happens, is also available for download to VAInsiders. Being a VAInsider adds great value to my business. Why not let it add value to yours?
Leanne - Tiny Queen Designs

The VA Insiders is the best thing that could happen to anyone in business if your serious about making money! The packages that come with the membership alone are worth the sign-up fee. I have heard remarks about, "I can't afford it"...but in my opinion, how can you NOT afford to buy into a place that can only enhance your business? True, there are several things to "join" regarding VAs that includes membership costs, books, tutorials, etc., you also have many freebies available, but you have to be selective in what will benefit your business the most. So many were worried about over 7500 members trying to go for the same RFP opportunity. NOW, the odds are much better and when the opportunity presents itself, it is up to US to make it happen. Tawnya is presenting this opportunity as she has for years, and it only makes sense to provide an insider club to something that has skyrocketed in membership over the years. YOUR opportunity awaits your sign-up before the 31st. Anything of special value cost money...we can get internet info free all over the net...but can you get to the insiders? Nope! Hurry! Sign-up today! You will be missing a great opportunity for your business, if you miss this Insider Niche, I promise!
Mary Beth - Virtual Hours

Upgrading my membership to a VAInsider was really a no-brainer. The RFPs alone are worth the money - and as Tawnya and others have mentioned, with only Insiders having access to them, increases my chances of landing that client. I am still working my way through the templates and the archives of other goodies that are available to VAInsiders. I would highly recommend that others sign up before the deadline, to avoid missing out on this tremendous basket of goodies! It will be the best money you will ever invest in your VA business!
Tracey - Virtual Assistant

There isn't much I can add to the previous posts except to endorse what a wonderful deal this is. The return on investment is priceless. I've had my head happily buried within the details for a week now and am just delighted with being a VAinsider. It's the one area I'd put my money again.
Grace - Virtually Amazing

Thanks for upgrading me the other day, Tawnya! I wouldn't have half of what I have in marketing materials if it weren't for the VBSS I got last year... you helped pave the way with your templates. Now that I'm further along, with the VAinsiders Club there's even more I can use! RFP postings! These key items you offer are priceless. Thank you!!!
Carrie

Earlier this month, I made the right investment choice for my business...I became a proud member of the VAInsider club! Wow, wow, wow! I've only been in business since May of this year and from the very minute that I upgraded, I realized what a smart choice I had made! I can't begin to tell you how much I appreciate all the perks and goodies that have come with my new membership! I feel so blessed to be a part of this elite group! Having access to the forms, business plan templates, RFPs, seminars, etc. have all been more than worth the intro price. The benefit this membership has given to my business is priceless!!
Robbie - iAssistHR

Still not sure about the $249? Let’s see what the big guns of Virtual Assistance have to say about their experience with Tawnya and her team at VAnetworking:

 

I cannot even begin to tell you what an impact VAnetworking has had on the success and growth of my business. Joining VAnetworking in 2004 was absolutely one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. VAnetworking has always been a place where Virtual Assistants at all stages in their businesses can go to meet other likeminded business owners, get answers to questions, celebrate success, commiserate over disappointments and losses or just hang out and have a great time. Tawnya’s watchful eye and constant reiteration that “no question is ever stupid,” has created a safe haven where VAnetworking members know they can go for support and camaraderie no matter what’s going on in their businesses and/or personal lives. VAnetworking truly is the friendliest place on the web for Virtual Assistants all over the world to gather together with one common goal … to network and assist each other in growing their businesses and making their dreams come true. As an added bonus to everything else, I can truly say that I’ve gained some of my closest and dearest friends through my association with VAnetworking. Thank you Tawnya; you truly are the best!

First of all, my own journey to become a virtual assistant started at VAnetworking as have many others. VAnetworking is an important community in the virtual assistant world. If you have the time and the patience, ‘virtually’ every question you have about starting a VA business can be found by searching the forum archives, posting questions to the membership, or paying close attention to signature lines of other members and the advertising throughout the forum.

Working virtually, the one thing that’s missing is coworkers to talk with throughout the day, and often a feeling of isolation that comes with working for yourself in your own private office. If you encounter a problem with a client’s project, are stuck in a MS Word document or just heard a joke on the radio that you would love to share with someone, VAnetworking is there 24/7. The membership is made up of likeminded individuals who are there to support you. Almost almost everyone is either starting out where you are, or has ‘been there and done that’ and can help you avoid the mistakes they have made on their way to success. There are hundreds of people to learn from and everyone has something to offer, no matter how new to the industry. Everyone learns from one another.

If you aren’t a member of VAnetworking, you are missing out on a lot of priceless information and a great sense of belonging.

READ the many Testimonials and Raves
from our VAinsider Club Members

 

Not only did I get one of my first clients from VAnetworking.com, after three years in my business...I got another client from the RFP section just a month ago! This is a very valuable board for getting information from your peers and those who have "done it before" - but more importantly, you can get clients by being a member.

If I had to do it all over again, I would have joined sooner and participated even more in VAnetworking than I did. The resources, access to RFPs, and the seminars are truly life-changing (and business changing!) Don't spend a bunch of money on some training program that has teachers that may or may not be any good. Tawnya's VBSS system, as well as her forum, have been proven time and time again to be all you need for true business success as a Virtual Assistant.
Jennifer Gniadecki - Atypical VA

“In the time I’ve been a member at VAnetworking, my virtual assistant business has grown from having zero clients to a near full time practice. I attribute a large part of that success to having a place like VAnetworking to come to for helpful, friendly advice, to find solutions to problems, to learn about new ideas and techniques, and to find talented virtual assistants who have helped me grow my business.”
Yvonne McCoy - Swift Office Services
