Hey guys,

I dug up the ad that I posted to HireMyMom.com.  It got a lot of response.  The main thing I want you to think about when forming an ad is to make sure you are clear and be yourself.  Don’t get lost in the ‘we’ and a bunch of formality.  Let the person know who you are.

I am a professional juggler – let me just get that out of the way first. For 29 years I have traveled around the world doing my comedy/juggling shows for corporate audiences at sales meetings, trade shows, and product launches.

This virtual assistant position is not to help with that job!

My wife is a teacher and writer.

We both have online businesses and it’s getting to be too much. We are in search of someone that can field a multitude of tasks, is driven to exceed expectations, and someone that is creative, smart, and wants to be a part of our team.

Somethings that will help:

• You LOVE making lists. In fact, you make them for just about everything…every day!

• You are extremely detail oriented.

• You love to make sure tasks are completed.

• You dot the I’s and cross the T’s and proofread EVERYTHING just one last time.

• You have past experience in accounting, legal, and/or planning.

• You find yourself getting recruited as the organizer for events and social gatherings, such as a high school reunion.

• You find it fun to create spreadsheets and organize things.

• You take feedback well and don’t hold grudges

• You are an honest team player that in enthusiastically engaged in the success of a project

• You are fast, smart, and creative.

Tasks we might want you to handle on any given day might include:

• Administrative duties including project management, contract execution, calendering, etc

• Follow up phone calls to clients

• Emails to prospects/clients

• Administration on our WordPress Membership site

• Copywriting for our product launches

• Scheduling airline flights

• Writing blog posts on our blog or comments on other blogs

• Researching possible marketing partners

• Finding relevant websites for cross-promotions

• Answer emails to prospective clients (we’ll help you with the first few!)

• Schedule phone interviews with clients

However, this isn’t just an ordinary Virtual Assistant position. We’re really hunting for the right person for our growing online businesses, someone who will love contributing to and growing with our team over the long-term.

We really believe in rewarding excellence because we know our team member’s success contributes to our own. This means you would receive regular bonuses and salary increases over time as our company grows and profits increase.

If this sounds good to you, please send me an email with the subject line: “I’m your VA!” Tell me why you are right for this assignment and attach your resume.

Thank you so much for your interest in this project. I look forward to hearing from you!
