SVA Forum

Hello,

Beginning April 1 thru May 15, 2007, I will conduct a podcast and blog visiting tour to promote the VA industry and the upcoming Online International Virtual Assistants Convention (May 17-19). VAs from around the globe are invited to participate and help me spread the word about the benefits of working with a virtual assistant.

All you have to do is create at least 5 questions, one of which must be about the convention, and I'll answer them when I visit your blog or podcast. Your site will be linked to the OIVAC and promoted in the media campaign as well as on sites I visit before and after your stop.

It's going to be fun! Here's a link to a media release:

To learn more details, visit www.oivac.com and while there, check out our featured speakers, seminars, and join us for this exciting celebration of the VA industry.

If you have questions, contact me directly at sharon@the24hoursecretary.com

What a brilliant idea Sharon! Will you post progress of your blog hopping tour here too?

I know OIVAC were going to try and have an interactive element last year but a lot of the online stuff was really late at night UK time!!! (I'm not good without my beauty sleep!).

Are there any plans to put more online for accessing afterwards?

Hi Caroline,

Sure, I'll be glad to post my progress, but you can visit the tour stops, solve the scrambled phrase and be eligible to win prizes. If you are a bloger or podcaster, we still have open dates and would love to visit you.

While there is a 5-hour difference between EDT - New York and London time, the schedule contains several activities you can attend during your business hours. For instance:

Thursday - not too many live events

Friday - beginning at 1:00 p.m (UK time) you can attend live -
1:30 What is a Virtual Bankrupcy Assistant?
2:30 The Power of Positive Linking
3:30 Subcontracting Made Simple
4:30 How to Respond to Requests for Proposals
6:00 What You Can Do to Avoid Getting Squeezed Out of the Middle Class
7:00 Imagination, Inventiveness and the New Fangled Idea
9:30 Coke is More than Soda, It's a Brand. Learn How to Identify Yours & Increase Profits

Saturday, seminars you can attend during the same time frame include:
1:00 The Most Important Plan of Your Business - The Disaster Recovery Plan
2:30 Dare to Be Different: The Extrovert Approach for the Introvert
3:30 Working Virtually With the Right Technology
5:00 How to Explode the Size of Your VA Business without Breaking a Sweat!
6:00 Grow Your Business, Not Your Waistline!
7:00 Documenting Critical Success Factors for Profitable Growth
8:00 Finding Your Ideal Client - The Law of Attraction
9:00 Marketing Your VA Services on the Web

Several of these presentations will be conducted by our Featured Speakers; all offer information that can help grow your business.

And, if unable to attend live, as long as you have registered, the seminars will be made available. You will be able to view them anytime during the following week (at your convenience). And, I only listed half of the seminars -- there's many more.

So, I hope you can join us, either live or via the recording!

Yours,
