I just mentioned to a friend of mine today that I was going to start a VA company and she said she has been signed up to recieve their emails for about a year but has yet to "apply" for anything. I warned her to use caution. A little later she forwarded me an email from them. Here is the TOC with commentary from the email...

TABLE OF CONTENTS
1. Welcome from VOT - The welcome section pitched two books sold at Amazon.
2. Closed Projects - There were more closed listed than open listed.
3. New Virtual Assistant Projects - apply now! - Listed projects paying in the $10 to $19 range. Mostly data entry/typists with one real estate.
4. How To Apply to Projects - They want your references, resume, the works.
5. Message from our Sponsor - Included a pitch about the types of jobs their sponsors typically have and links to sites.
6. Contact, Contribute & More Info - Offers the chance to unsubscribe.

I know I don't have my company up and running yet...I'm trying to decide if I would do this if I was a working VA. After the strings I've read about not providing a resume and how bad I want to be out of JOBLAND and into SOLOVILLE I don't think so - I'd have to be very much in need! That being said I also think that a day spent working potential client leads would be better than typing for 8 hours and making 80 bucks less taxes!

Hope this helps!
