Excellent info and encouragement.
I love the resources and insight that is available to VA’s now.
The Pomodoro technique/The 50’s! That’s it! I could totally do that!. New to VA here, haven’t started yet but goal is to have a website up and running in the next few weeks. Thank you Cindy for your insight and nuggets of genius. You are infectious.
One quick question for either of you, I have experience creating software/website training videos. Essentially taking a written document/manual, doing a screen cast with voiceover following the steps of the manual. Sounds pretty dry, stiff and boring I know but I try to make it a natural, relaxed experience. Anyway, how’s the VA market for something like that? It’s not my priority to offer this to start but is it worthy of another look at it?
Thanks!

Hi Jenny,
Software screencasting is an awesome skill in today’s market… lots of opportunities in multimedia editing! My good friend, Michelle Schoen has been doing this for years and now has a training center for screencasting called: http://LearnCamtasia.com.
