Hi AL,

Here's an even different twist:

I spoke with a VA earlier this week. She has the first 3 or 4 months as a non-negotiable contract. At the end, they adjust their hours and go to a month by month contract. She says that her arrangement assures a commitment from her client and gives them enough time to work out any snags. After that, the clients are "in" and a month by month contract works great.

It's interesting, isn't it? So many different ways to do it.
