Guess what, I'm taking the course! First class was today and it's great so far. The price was steep for me, but I'm thinking that being able to tell clients I'm certified in the field will be an assurance for them, and I do see the service as being definitely in demand. Also, I've been only slightly involved with the social networking world, and this is a way to get it all in a nutshell. (Kimberly, you are already an expert, so I can see why you responded as you did. Maybe you should organize a course!) Moreover, the course focuses on how to organize your services to be the best help to clients ... often, what's called for is teaching/coaching your clients and promoting a Web 2.0 approach to marketing. This is very new territory to a lot of small businesses, and VAs can help by providing well-structured strategic planning.

Anyhow, I think the course is full for this go-round, but there surely will be more, and likely at lower cost. So far, I recommend it!
