Dear Professional Virtual Assistant or Aspiring VA,

As you and I already know, for many internet businesses, Virtual Assistants are the glue that holds each business together.

Today's internet marketers and entrepreneurs are increasingly stressed, overworked and overwhelmed by all that goes into managing their businesses. They're desperate for great VAs like yourself to basically rescue them from drowning in a list of tasks they are not able to manage properly.

No doubt about it -- a great Virtual Assistant is a successful Internet business's finest asset .

More and more Internet entrepreneurs are realizing this, as more books and seminars continue to coach them on the value of outsourcing work to capable VAs.

The small and medium business client base for Virtual Assistants is growing at a meteoric pace. It's expected that by 2009, 80% of these businesses will have an internet presence and will market online. That means over 20 million potential clients for VAs!

In the US alone , it is forecasted that Internet Marketing and Advertising Spending will skyrocket from 1.3 billion dollars back in 2005 to 9.3 billion by 2010. This equates to more companies investing more dollars into their internet marketing efforts with no end in sight!

Things are growing and evolving so rapidly in the Internet Marketing industry, that an ever expanding pool of internet business owners are desperate for Virtual Assistants with the right niche skills to effectively support their marketing efforts!

This is where VAClassroom.com comes in... to help guide YOU to be that VA they are looking for!

As an entrepreneur, and the owner of two successful companies, I rely on virtual assistants for a variety of tasks. Over the years, I've seen a wide range of quality in the service, experience, and skillset I receive from VA's. That's why I'm so excited about VAClassroom, as I know the certified VA's I hire in the future will have a good foundation of training and expertise. I no longer have to gamble on inexperienced or unqualified VA's if I hire virtual assistants certified by VAClassroom. Thanks Craig for making this happen!

What’s the Story Behind VAClassroom and the

Internet Marketing VA Training Program?

Before I tell you about how VAClassroom's Internet Marketing VA (IMVA) Certification will help keep you skills and knowledge up-to-date and very much IN DEMAND, allow me to quickly introduce myself…

My name is Craig Cannings. I'm the Managing Director at VAClassroom.com, which I co-founded with my lovely wife, Kelly.

Kelly began a professional Virtual Assistant business with an Internet company way back in 2000 - when VAs were just getting started! .

She's performed many VA functions, such as setting up and managing Customer Support Systems, handling billing and accounting functions, as well as affiliate marketing research and ad campaign management.

She's well aware as you are, that the Virtual Assistant industry is evolving so much faster now than just a few years ago!

Although I have not worked as a VA myself, I have had the privilege of training, managing and partnering with some fabulous Virtual Assistants over the years. This is one unique advantage of VAClassroom which I'll get into in more detail shortly... VAClassroom was built not only by VAs, but by the Internet Entrepreneurs who need to hire them!

Our inspiration to create the IMVA Certification Course and share this amazing service with you originates from Kelly's and my own experience in training, managing and working alongside wonderful and very valuable Virtual Assistants like you over the years.

I understand very well that much of my success in business is due in large part to my partnership with great VAs. VAClassroom is our personal effort to give something of value back to the industry.

I drew upon my own experiences as a busy internet business owner who regularly hires VAs. I also immersed myself in months of research.

Over a 6-month period, I invested many hours surveying multiple internet business owners and internet marketers and identified some current skill gaps for many VAs. Through this research, I've identified many new specific tasks that businesses are increasingly outsourcing or would like to delegate to Virtual Assistants.

The outcome of my research was very clear about one thing...

There is an emerging demand for an Internet Marketing Virtual Assistant Training Program that equips VAs like you with the specific skills internet businesses need , today and beyond.

• Blog management and support
• Social media marketing and submission
• Article submission
• Affiliate marketing research and recruitment
• Online competitor analysis
• Web analytics tracking and reporting
• Effective keyword research
• Press release submissions
• Internet market research strategies
• Email auto-responder management
• Online Project management
• Video editing and marketing support
• Podcast editing and submission
• Online survey set-up and management
  

… and many other services!

With VAClassroom's IMVA Certification, you'll know exactly how to effectively perform and market all of these services and many more.

Introducing...

I am very impressed with the wide-ranging content contained within the VA Classroom videos. Craig has an in-depth understanding of how VA’s work and is clear and concise in his explanations. There are also several great references to invaluable resources which will help any aspiring or indeed, existing, Virtual Assistant to progress their business. Overall, this is a professional and well thought through training course and I have no hesitation in highly recommending The VA Classroom training course.

VAClassroom offers you practical skills, not fluff. It's designed to reduce the hassle and time it will take you to keep current on the latest in-demand skills and trends you need to know to send your Virtual Assistant business soaring!

You may have experienced, as I have, the frustration of paying a substantial fee for a university degree, or a training course, hoping to get out of it everything you need to know in order to find a job, or run a business... only to discover that what you learned is not what your future employers, or clients, are looking for.

Now I want to make it clear that our training programs do not just identify what skills are in-demand and profitable. We will show you how to put these practical skills to use to grow your business and generate some excellent income opportunities immediately.

I am new to the internet marketing and Virtual Assistance scene and have thoroughly enjoyed the VA Classroom courses. After many boring university lectures it was a breathe of fresh air to finally do a course that was thorough, precise, clear and interesting! With the use of both verbal language and visual presentations the course was easy to follow and extremely helpful in understanding the course material. Without this great course I would not have known what to do or where to turn! Thank you VA Classroom!
