Hi

I think you'll have a variety of responses on this question for me I could not live without my jump drive it where I keep all the information I need. It's also where I can everything that I don't want to lose in case something happens to my laptop.

Every VA should have Outlook to help organize for personal, home & client. Can't operate without it.

Well, it's not a gadget, but IMO, a VA must have a website and domain name email address instead of a freebie because it makes you look like a real business.

I totally agree with you. Branding your business is very important. Your website is your business card on the net where clients can find you.

Me as a new VA I do a lot of networking and get a lot of business cards. I found this little gadget to be very helpful in organizing them, its NEAT Receipts. It scans, analyzes and organize your receipts, bills, business cards, and stores everything in a database on your PC. This was a great find for me, I really like. You can buy online at www.neatreceipts.com. To me its a must have because it keeps all the information from a potential client business card right there in my database.
