:: The Virtual Nation ::

We've added basically a whole new library to our resource books section. It's filled with over 50 books about business, virtual assistant books, marketing, networking, anything I could find on Seth Godin (one of my favorite marketing gurus), and lots more!

We also added more resources in just about every section, including one to find out if someone has stolen your identity. It's scary these days, but if you don't become your own advocate, who will? Check it out! While you're checking your identity, you can also look at the new 2007 QuickBooks starter kit.

Are a new virtual assistant and looking for scholarships? We've got you covered. With several to choose from, it would be worth your time to investigate these a bit.

If you aren't a new virtual professional, there's still a lot more resources to fit your needs. In fact, one of our readers, Sandi Silva, recently submitted her favorite resource for event and meeting planners. Check it out in the travel resource section.

So, don't be shy, send us your favorite resources and tips. We'd love to give you full credit for sharing with your peers! Send an email to info@thevirtualnation.com

Well, we're still working on this, so when we get the blog back up and running correctly, we'll send out a notice with new topics. Thanks for your patience.

If you already have a blog, but want to learn more or just want to read other people's blogs, here are a few top sites to check out.

Would you like to submit an article to be published in our monthly ezine? If so, we'd love to hear from you. For $25, you can be spotlighted here! Below are the details.

Ask me how to get your article published in our newsletter by sending an email to info@thevirtualnation.com.

We're so close now! The Virtual Village forum is almost done. We've got a few more steps to go and then, we'll announce it! Due to the costs of putting the Virtual Village together, it will only be available to current and new members who pay for their memberships. This will be a private forum and not available to the public.

In the meantime, we started a yahoo group. We'd love to have you all join this group for fre*e and share with your peers.

Please share your events, stories, questions, and more. We want to know more about you and how we can help you grow your business.

The Virtual Nation motto:
If it takes a village to raise a child, it takes a virtual village to grow a successful business.

April 25-28	The International Virtual Assistants Association (IVAA) conference will be held in San Francisco, CA. We're planning a dinner for VAs, so send us an email if you are interested in joining us.

Are you a Virtual Assistant?

Are you attending the Sixth Annual IVAA Summit?

If not, you don't know what you are missing!

It is going to be a gathering of VAs from around the country who might not ever get the opportunity to meet again. I went to a conference a few months after becoming a VA and had no idea what I was getting into. I was scared that I wouldn't know anyone and I'd be all by myself, but that didn't stop me. I went and have never regretted it. I am still great pals with many of the same women I met almost 4 years ago. Some I have never seen since, but we email and call each other now and again. I'll bet you'll have the same experience, too!

Join your peers that you've made friends with over the 'net. Have fun and do a little sightseeing while you're at it. Some of the benefits from attending this amazing conference include:

VA Gathering - Meet VAs from around the country
Multiple Breakout Sessions - have you seen the speakers and program line up yet?
- Robert Brenner - the guy who undertook the amazing task of putting together THE ONLY Virtual Assistant study will be there. He's going to be speaking about pricing! How well do you know how to price your services? Robert will tell you how.
Keynote speakers (I know both these ladies personally and you'll love them!)

The opening keynote speaker on Thursday will be Elinor Stutz, nationally known speaker and expert in relationship sales, her mission is to help business owners build long-term, powerful relationships with clients and prospects.
The keynote speaker on Friday will be Jill Lublin, CEO of Promising Promotion, who shares her proven publicity secrets for getting the attention of national media, including The New York Times, CNN, The Today Show, Good Morning America, and more.

Historic Hotel - The Summit will be held at the historic Sir Francis Drake Hotel , which offers luxurious accommodations at a significantly discounted rate for Summit attendees. Rooms will book fast, so reserve early to take advantage!
Secret Dinners & Sightseeing - It's San Francisco - where else can you get such a great variety of food and sightseeing?

Don't miss out! We're going to have a ton of fun...with or without you (but we'd rather have fun with you!) Click on the link below for more information and how to register today. Don't delay!

Would you like to attract ideal prospective clients, convert them to paying clients and create a solid, successful VA business so that you can work from home?

My friend Alexandra Amor, filled her VA business in record time and she wants to help you do the same.

Her two e-books, “Virtual Success: How to Be the Virtual Assistant Everyone Wants to Hire” and “Working for Coaches: A Guide for Virtual Assistants” are industry-leading manuals that will take you, step-by-step, down the road to becoming a successful VA. Learn from someone who’s already created a wildly successful VA business and avoid the mistakes that so many VA businesses encounter.

TVN has a lot of other incredible resources to choose from. If you are in need of forms, templates, information on starting a business in California, where to go to find great books, printers, and more, it's all on the website. Click here to have a look.
