Once again, thanks for the review, I finally went back to this post months after I had read it and I think I'm ready to try out an assistant. As for “They have a system where you can input your passwords for various sites, which are then stored securely on a server in the US. The aides never see your password, but the system somehow allows them to use your digital identity to handle tasks for you” well I'm a bit paranoid with that stuff… but it seems very handy!

Sid, firstly may I say that your article is excellent and has got me absolutley itching to get started with a VA. Secondly, can i be so cheeky as to ask you for Prabhu's details. If you dont want it to go public you can e-mail me. Pretty please! Thanks, Titan.

Good article, Sid.

I've realized in this business that you do need the more dedicated VA if you are looking at Outsourcing as more of a long-term set-up. Saying that, using a company with round-the-clock assistant ready and waiting for you can be handy.

Anyone interested in hiring a VA, let us know...

Hi Sarah,
Thanks for your comment! I think there is definitely some things I would
want to research myself, to learn specific domains better. In many cases
though, I prefer to have someone else research, analyze and present me with
results, if I need to make a decision quickly.
