You know that you need the very best and we have put many steps into place to make certain that when you hire a virtual private assistant from Professional Website Promotions, you hire nothing but the best.

These references have been broken down individually and placed on separate pages but they are listed here in their entirety for your convenience.

Fully Managed Virtual Private Assistant

When you hire a Virtual Private Assistant from Professional Website Promotions, you hire a fully-managed, in-house employee who is constantly monitored with state of the art software to insure that they are getting your work done the right way every time, all the time.

When you hire someone to complete work for you, you need to be certain they are able to get the job done the right way every time. You could go to some of the freelance sites and begin working your way through the Virtual Private Assistant section until you find the right one. You could go to some of the other freelance sites where you can actually manage your VPA yourself.

However, if you are hiring someone to do the work for you, chances are pretty good that you do not have the time to get the work done yourself or you have better or more important things to do with your time and you certainly do not have time to be a babysitter while you explain everything step-by-step to your employees. Throw in the fact that many of these applications that allow you to baby-sit your VPA by constantly monitoring their desktop and this solution is hardly cost effective unless you hire someone to manage the workers in addition to hiring your Virtual Private Assistants.

When you hire a virtual private assistant from Professional Website Promotions, they work in an office environment conducive to production and getting the work done. We use state of the art software that allows them to access the Internet when it is a critical part of their workload while disconnecting them when it is imperative that the work you get done for you will not be plagiarized or otherwise copied and pasted from existing products or websites. When you hire a virtual private assistant from Professional  Website Promotions, your personnel are working in the same type of environment that you would set up for them in your office and are fully managed for you just like you would manage them there in your business office.

Your Work is NEVER Outsourced or Sub Contracted out

If you have been looking for a Virtual Private Assistant you may have seen many websites, companies and individuals offering these services. We had to sort through a lot of our competitors website in order to get the support that we did from the Chamber of Commerce, the Dept of Tourism and the city mayor here and we had to explain a lot of things to them about website promotions, conducting business online and Internet Marketing. One of the most common questions revolved around these very same issues.

Competitive Prices

If you just take a cursory glance at many of our competitors sites, you will see the US or UK address and perhaps that is enough for you. However, if you look deeper into their websites, you will frequently discover that they are actively and constantly looking for outsourcers and service providers in far away countries to take care of your work. Hey, you can get some really good deals that way but why are you going to pay American Prices for overseas workers?

What these companies are telling you, even indirectly is that they do not care about your work as much as they do their bottom line. According to national statistics in the USA, the average salary for a virtual private assistant there is $56,000 USD per annum. (http://www.simplyhired.com/a/salary/search/q-Virtual+Private+Assistant) That boils down to about $4667 USD per month. When you look at it that way, that thousand dollar bill every month or even worse, that twenty to forty dollar an hour average may not seem so bad … at first glance at least. But again, why would you be paying rates for University Graduates in the USA when you are getting your pool of workers from overseas in the first place? It does not make any sense to pay these rates for a Virtual Private Assistant when they are available on a much more inexpensive level for the same (or better) level of work and production.

No Setup Fees or Outrageous Hourly Costs

What exactly are the setup fees involved when you want to hire a Virtual Private Assistant? You need to clearly state and define your needs, give them to your employee and get the work completed. What is there to set up? Why do so many of the companies that will find you a service provider that they hope will work out well for you want or need to charge you outrageous setup costs for telling the service provider exactly what you want and hoping that their outsourced workers can get the work done for you?

Not only does it not make any sense, it costs you very real and hard-earned dollars that will accomplish absolutely nothing except increasing the profit margin of someone who by their very actions has already indicated that they do not have your best interests at heart.

Professional Website Promotions does not charge any set up fees. The initial consultation is free and is held for a number of different reasons. First, you do have a responsibility to fully explain exactly what you are looking for, need and expect from your virtual private assistant. Second, we need to sort through our qualified, local applicants who have expressed an interest in working in our office to fulfill your needs and find the VPA that is best suited to take care of the work that need to have completed. There is a certain amount of time involved in this process but that is to be certain that you have the best possible match.

Nobody is going to charge you for making sure you get the best possible service at Professional Website Promotions. You do not start paying until everything is set up and ready for you to start getting your money’s worth. We do not expect you to be responsible for buying equipment or even worse, for charging you for getting online and looking for a new helper for you the same as you could do all on your own.

What we do is provide you with service and bill you accordingly for that service without expecting you to pay for a lot of additional fluff or simply pay out money that you get absolutely nothing in return for. When you hire a Virtual Private Assistant you pay for only the virtual private assistant and get a qualified and professional virtual private assistant that is ready to go to work for you.

Fully Trained Virtual Private Assistants

When someone applies for work as a Virtual Private Assistant for Professional Website Promotions, if they qualify for employment, they are put through a rigorous month-long training program to make sure that you get nothing but the best when it is time for you to hire a Virtual Private Assistant. We are not going to try out and test new employees with your work. We know how valuable your time is, how important your financial situation is and how relevant your success is to these factors. When you hire a Virtual Private Assistant from Professional Website Promotions, you get excellent service, competitive rates and a fully-trained and professional assistant that is ready, willing and able to work with you for your common good.

Decent Working Hours

When was the last time that you had to work the graveyard shift? If you have friends or family this probably was not your first choice … although there are certainly exceptions to every rule. Here in the Philippines, the vast majority of the culture is rooted in traditional family values and spending time with family here is a very important part of the societal structure. Unfortunately, the vast majority of work is done at night when they are working with people overseas. It is not that your schedule is wrong or that theirs is, only that they really are on a totally different schedule. Still, you have a business up and running or you are working on a business and you cannot realistically be expected to adjust your  schedule to meet the needs of a few employees even if their job function is critical to your success … especially not when you already have so much else to do.

There are a limited number of customer service representatives who work at night in order to make certain that you can talk with someone live and make sure that all of your efforts are paying off and that all of your personal needs are met. Your professional virtual private assistants work during the day in a safe, friendly office environment that is not only conducive to making them more productive but also allows them to spend more quality time with their friends and family. This in turn, offers them even more incentive to be productive as well as keeping them much happier than they would be if they had to work at night and deal with you directly.

Individual Employees Working Only for You

Make no mistake about it, when you hire a Virtual Private Assistant from Professional Website Promotions they work for you and only for you. There is no faceless group of employees all working on bits and pieces of your work. Your work is handled by the same person so that you get consistency and quality of content, comments, sites or anything else that you need to have done.

There are many groups and companies out there who do have large groups of people to work on everything piecemeal and for some people this is fine. However, it also results in many inconsistencies regarding the work that is posted online. If you are filling up a forum or a blog with “seed” comments, this may actually work to your benefit, although you can get those same services here as well. However, if you only have websites or want quality articles written for your particular niche, you need to have the same ideas, the same writing styles and more importantly, a consistency in statements and opinions if you want to be counted among the authority sites in your niche.

Different people have different writing styles and different opinions. That is a natural part of life and something that you have to get used to. Unfortunately, if you allow numerous different people to write your content or your articles and you post them on your site, it may very well hurt you more than it will ever be able to help. Now granted, if you are busy, you may not have time to read through everything and compare it to what you have already received.

If a person is running a sweat room or boiler room or paper mill with twenty or thirty employees all working on everything piecemeal, do you think they are going to go over all of your content and make an in-depth analysis and comparative review of all of your work? Now, if you did have the time and/or capacity to write all of that material yourself, do you think you would put in opposing opinions? It is not very likely that you would. When you have a Virtual Private Assistant working for you, they are effectively a Proxy version of you. You need that person to be as consistent and attentive to detail as you are.

Your Virtual Private Assistant will work for you alone and will only be eligible for bonuses when you are fully satisfied with their work. Your virtual private assistant from Professional Website Promotions understands that their success is directly related to your success.

Professional and Native-Speaking Editorial Staff in-house

If you grew up in a home where people regularly speak more than one language, you may be fortunate enough to speak more than one language at the same level as any other native speaker. However, unless you have advanced studies in different languages, it is highly unlikely that you write both languages equally as well. It is possible that you do but that is certainly the exception and not the rule. Fortunately, many people here grow up in the Philippines regularly speaking a multitude of languages in their own home.

However, even these people will be somewhat unaware of certain colloquialisms or other expressions that may be common to native speakers. Some of the more obvious differences appear in the contrast of American English with British or “Proper” English. What is commonly known as the ground floor in the US is often the first floor in Europe. This is not much of a contrast though and either one will generally work. However, the first floor for most Europeans would be the Second Floor in the US whereas the ground floor would be the same in both countries. Additionally, there is the lift in Europe and the Elevator in the USA. While those are certainly some of the most common issues, they are not by any means the only ones.

Much of the local vernacular in both the United States and across the UK is decidedly different based on simple geographical locations. For example, if you were to try to sell something to someone in Texas, having a New England or British accent may not exactly be what you need to get the job done. Y’all may have to understand that they’s gonna be a bit different circumstances there if you want to touch the people on a local level. While certainly, this type of example is limited in nature, it does factor into the equation.

There are often additional little things that may indicate the writer is not a native speaker of the language. There may be an overt tendency to use simple sentences and avoid conjunctions and compound sentences. Additionally, there are many words that are often misused by even the native speakers of a language. “Loose” and “lose” are probably the most common example of this but that does not change the fact that regardless of where your assistant is working, you do not want the materials to be of the best possible quality.

When you hire a virtual private assistant from Professional Website Promotions, they come with a built-in editorial staff to make sure that your content is written the same as any native speaker would write … and maybe just a little bit better and certainly much cheaper.
