Has anyone gotten a creditable lead on craigslist lately???

The jobs sometimes seem too good to be true, that should have been the clue there. But I'm so determined to get my business up and running that I answer the ads in hope that at least one of them will be legit. You are not alone!

I've been trolling looking at some of the ads from others who are seeking assistants. I wonder if offering my VA services to them would bring forth any fruit?

In fact, I had let the ad expire but he had done a search in my area, my ad popped up so he gave me a call. __________________ Need Help? Ask Viki!

Although I don't give up, but most of the ads I answer are not legitimate. I haven't tried answering ads outside of where I live but may I should. Thanks again!

I will keep searching and let you all know if I find anything legit!!
