SEO Virtual Assistant Training: Milestones towards Excellence

Excellence is an art won by training and habituation. We do not act rightly because we have virtue or excellence, but we rather have those because we have acted rightly. We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit. ~ Aristotle Getting on top's hard. But it's worth every step. Plus, the view's pretty nice up here.

SEO Virtual Assistant Myths - Busted

Virtual assistance is such a misunderstood profession. Just read the following popular (yet completely untrue) myths about the job: Myth #1: You would not save any money by hiring SEO virtual assistants. Truth is: SEO VA’s actually cost more per hour than regular employees. WHAT? Here's something really weird though: Hiring SEO virtual assistant will actually SAVE YOU MORE MONEY compared to regular employees. Why?

The Need for SEO Virtual Assistants: Why Superheroes Need Sidekicks

Every Superhero Could Use a Sidekick… …just like every business could use an SEO virtual assistant. Or more. Sure, if you are Superman you would not have to go around looking for a Robin like Batman does. A lot of us are not Superman though. Sometimes, we just can’t save the world without a handy, reliable assistant in tow. I know some of you will not agree with what I’m saying, but let me try to explain (in superhero terms) why businesses are way better off with SEO virtual assistants. If Superhero is too busy fighting an alien invasion, he could always tell Sidekick to put out the fire at the nearby hotel instead. One great thing about having sidekicks is that they can be relied on in case two emergencies happen at the same time. Superhero could do the dirtier work and leave the less...
