<p>But there definitely is a right way and a wrong way to go about it.  Believe me I know, I have been there myself and gotten some bad apples. But I stuck with it and before you know it, I finally developed a system that works.  One of them is that I vetted the heck out of them and would go through about thirty two for every good one that I would find.</p>
<p>That is why the using assistants through YakWrite.com can save from the &#8220;1 out of 32&#8243; equation.</p>
<p>We have already vetted our assistants and can provide you with ones that work.</p>
<p>I will be posting more information on how to get the most out of your virtual assistants over the next few days.</p>
<p>In the meantime, if you have any questions, please feel free to leave a comment or use our contact form.</p>
<p>Cheers<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="color: #0000ff;"><span style="font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><a href="http://www.yakwrite.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/010523_0767_0011_lsms.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-182" style="margin: 7px;" title="010523_0767_0011_lsms" src="http://www.yakwrite.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/010523_0767_0011_lsms-150x150.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="150" /></a>Outsourcing and using Virtual Assistants can be a key component to not just bringing more profit to your business, but in this new world economy, surviving and staying in business. </span></span></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #0000ff;"><span style="font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-size: medium;">With more and more city, state, and federal regulations, taxes, and increased costs of benefits, hiring a new employee is an expensive, time consuming, and outright scary undertaking these days.</span></span></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #0000ff;"><span style="font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Well, YakWrite has a solution for you that is as easy as dialing the phone.</span></span></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #0000ff;"><span style="font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-size: medium;">YakWrite has taken the hassle out of finding the right Virtual Assistant(s) by creating Pooled Virtual Assistants or PVA&#8217;s and here is why. <span id="more-177"></span></span></span></span></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #0000ff;"><span style="font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-size: medium;">We have developed a symbiotic relationship between our VA&#8217;s and our clients and have a pool of Virtual Assistants and provide steady work for them.</span></span></span></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #0000ff;"><span style="font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-size: medium;">The VAs benefit from the fact that YakWrite and our clients constantly provide a large steady workload for them and our clients benefit because they have access to a large pool of Virtual Assistants to do their work and do not have to depend on a single VA. </span></span></span></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #0000ff;"><span style="font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-size: medium;">We have negotiated great pricing with our Virtual Assistants which can be passed on to you. So, everyone benefits, which is how Capitalism works when left alone.</span></span></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #0000ff;"><span style="font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-size: medium;">This has a double benefit for us and our clients.  It helps us find honest and hard working Virtual Assistants and only the best clients. </span></span></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #0000ff;"><span style="font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-size: medium;">To become part of our Virtual Assistant Pool and get the benefit of working for YakWrite, they have to agree not to work directly with clients outside the confines of the pool. If we find out about it, we banish them forever from playing in our pond again. </span></span></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #0000ff;"><span style="font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-size: medium;">We figure if they can&#8217;t keep their word on that, we do not want them dealing with our clients anyway. Not only that, we also banish the client from my pond. </span></span></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #0000ff;"><span style="font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Life is too short to deal with people like that. You may find that you want to adopt your own rules like this too. This is the Pareto Principal on Auto Pilot.</span></span></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #0000ff;"><span style="font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-size: medium;">It takes care of both contractors and customers that we don&#8217;t want to deal with anyway.</span></span></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #0000ff;"><span style="font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Here is just some of what the people we have access to can do at some amazing prices. Most are less than $7.00 per hour and many below even that!</span></span></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #0000ff;"><span style="font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Here is some more detailed information about our PVAs.</span></span></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #0000ff;"><span style="font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><strong><span style="font-size: large;">Pooled Virtual Assistants or PVAs</span> </strong></span></span></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #008000;"><span style="font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><em>I hired my VA to help me write a daily newsletter about contests. I wrote a document explaining what I expected from the newsletter and a step by step guide to how I did it. I also gave them access to some examples of what I wanted. After a few days, I got the message that their first try was ready. I was pleasantly surprised! It was not perfect yet, but for a first try, it was really great! I gave some feedback and they corrected it.</em></span></span></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #008000;"><span style="font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><em>Since then, every morning when I wake up, I have a beautiful newsletter, ready to send out, waiting for me! The feeling you get when you wake up and see someone has done your work while you were sleeping is absolutely amazing! And that for such a low price! I am really excited about all the possibilities this gives me for the future! Thanks !</em></span></span></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #008000;"><span style="font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Signed, a Happy Customer! </span></span></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #008000;"><span style="font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Gert from Belgium, </span></span></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #0000ff;"><span style="font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-size: medium;">What is the difference between a Virtual Assistant or, VA, versus a Pooled Virtual Assistant, or PVA? Plainly put, it is reliability. </span></span></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #0000ff;"><span style="font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-size: medium;">When you submit your project to us, we then assign it to one of the dozens and dozens of PVAs that we have available, and this Pool is growing. That way if a particular PVA is sick or unavailable, your work still gets done. </span></span></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #0000ff;"><span style="font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-size: medium;">If you like the work of a particular PVA we can get them to work with you on your projects and you only need to commit to 10 hours a week. </span></span></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #0000ff;"><span style="font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-size: medium;">This system works great for all parties. Because we provide our PVAs with mountains of work, they have job security and do not have to spend time pursuing other clients for their next job.  It works well for YOU because you do not have to worry about your PVA getting sick or not being available and having to hunt down a new one if they are.</span></span></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #0000ff;"><span style="font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><strong>We provide PVAs at great prices</strong> </span></span></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #0000ff;"><span style="font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Because we will be purchasing thousands of hours of VA time per month, we are passing those savings on to you. Currently the vast majority of our PVAs are $7.50 per hour and under.<br />
</span></span></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #0000ff;"><span style="font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Our PVAs are overseas which allows you to take advantage of discrepancies in currency exchanges to bring quality PVAs at the lowest price possible.  <strong>We have negotiated with our VAs to give our clients thousands of hours per month.</strong> This gives you access to multiple VAs and far better prices than you as an individual could get, plus it allows for instantaneous scalability.  Do you need 10 PVAs in three days for a big project? Well, you do not have to worry about it, you now have access to them with YakWrite.</span></span></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #0000ff;"><span style="font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-size: medium;">What can a PVA do? A PVA can do anything that you need done that does not involve actually having to touch anything. Here are just some examples and qualifications.</span></span></span></p>
