The acclaimed The Complete Virtual Author’s Assistant Training Program and The Complete Virtual Speaker’s Assistant Training Program are comprehensive, jam-packed, self-paced, step-by-step courses of videos and instructional downloads. No having to pay for shipping, no waiting weeks for delivery. Within 24 hours of registration you will be sent your login information which will give you immediate access to over 250 pages of instructions, notes, checklists, planners and step-by-step guidance in each course that will be a reference long after you complete the class.

Here’s how it works:

You can follow the comprehensive course plan to work through the entire course material or you can access the particular part you are immediately intersted in. The materials are arranged “by subject” just for you. We have had very motivated participants complete one of the courses in a long weekend! If you are new to working virtually, you may want us to start with the Business tab which will tell you all about how to set up your virtual business.

The training course is just one aspect of the password-protected, exclusive Virtual Author’s Assistant Online Headquarters and Virtual Speaker’s Assistant Online Headquarters. The Online HQ is available to you not only during the class, but afterward so you can get updates to the constantly changing publishing and speaking industries. A dynamic on-line peer community that will support you well beyond the class, including recommended industry professionals to refer your clients to, such as web designers, marketing consultants and many more. Includes all the links to the sites recommended in the course and recommended by your peers.

A gateway to continuous learning and honing your skills for years to come, with many ways to learn, whatever fits your style. If there is a service you want to watch and hear about again, you can do that anytime, even months later. Each of the services has downloads that give you the step-by-step of everything you will see on the slidecasts, so if you like reading better than watching or listening, you can do that too! And whenever there is a new trend in the publishing or speaking industry, we add to the course and offer webinars to introduce you to the new materials. Once you have registered for the basic course, you never pay extra for (and you always have access to) updated material.

When you have successfully completed the courses, you can take a certification exam (don’t worry – it is a practical, open book exam) and become a certified PVAA (Professional Virtual Author’s Assistant) or PVSA (Professional Virtual Speaker’s Assistant) and earn a free Business Profile page on our Author’s Assistant Directory or Speaker’s Assistant Directory. With a first page Google ranking our PVAA and PVSA Directories are for authors and speakers looking for assistants. As a graduate of our course you can create a personal listing on the directory, marketing your new business and services.

But we didn’t want to create a good course, we wanted to create a full business support system so we added more amazing benefits:

Benefit # 1:
Forms, checklists and worksheets to use with clients.
To help you get your virtual author/speaker assistant business off to the right start and as quickly as possible, we have included over 40 sample forms and letters, checklists, and worksheets in each of the courses that you can use day after day and year after year in working with authors and speakers. We give this to you in both a hard copy format (you can use them with a pencil or pen) and in downloadable spreadsheets so you can use them right on the computer and attach them to your emails as reports to your clients).

We added a whole unit of the course devoted to help you find profitable author and speaker clients who want to do business with you. Here is a sample of just SOME of the forms and letters, checklists, and worksheets specifically designed to help you grow your business quickly by helping you market to authors immediately:

• New Client Checklist. You won’t have to fumble around and guess as to what to ask a new client. We have created a form that will save you hours of time and guesswork

Benefit #3:
Advanced topic classes to keep you up to date offered live when there are major changes in the industry. We know that your learning about working with authors and speakers doesn’t end when you finish the course. In this fast-paced ever-changing environment, your clients expect you to keep up and bring them the latest information. We bring you new concepts and interesting experts who talk specifically about how to market these services to authors and speakers. If you have to miss an advanced class, don’t worry – we record them all so you will have the information when you need it.

Benefit #4:
Proposal and Contract for Author’s Assistant Services. One of the hardest things for a new virtual professional to do is market their new skills. To help get you off to a great start we created a VAA proposal that puts in your hands a document that sells your business for you. It lets you put your best foot forward and present your new skills as a new professional in your field. Creating contracts can be costly and time consuming. Our additional benefit to you is a working contact you can use with your very first client. Our priority is to see you succeed and in the shortest time possible.

Benefit #5:
Live updates and news in our blogs. You’ll stay informed and updated on developments in the publishing world and the world of people working at home saving you hours of time each week not having to read publication after publication to keep up to speed in this industry.
