My friend Patricia Mayo, who writes the excellent blog ComHacker, has just published an e-book (the Crystal Edict E-book) on how to find, train, and get the most out of a Virtual Assistant. I’ll let her tell you a little about it:

Here’s a short list of a few things my virtual assistant is doing for me, just to give you an idea:

• Research on blog topics - I give him a little nudge in the right direction, maybe even with a few trusted sources, and I get what I want in about 24 hours. If I want pictures and links like a blog post and additional references, he takes care of that too (and like a pro!).This gives me time to just write. I don’t have to waste any time finding the information, and instead get to spend every second coming up with more great ideas, and turning the research provided into provocative eye and brain candy.
• Organizes my online files - As most marketer netizen types these days, I have an absolutely massive collection of ebooks, audio books, programs, PLR packs and articles. One of these days I’m going to compile all that information plus everything I have learned into a few ecourses - but I have to know what I have first!
• Handles almost all my email - I probably read more in a day than a professional editor does in a lifetime… or at least it would seem that way with all the newsletters I get every single day, all with great tips, free (or practically free) downloads, invites to conferences, or the typical “buy me” questionable could-be-spam stuff.

How does that sound? Pretty good, eh? If you would like to find out more about this amazing resource and how it can work for you all you have to do is get your hands on some crayons (yes, crayons) and then click the Crystal Edict E-book link and download your very own copy of Patricia’s free e-book.

Yes I said free! Why is it free? Well:

If I, quite possibly the most over-ambitious person in the world, can bring to you this e-book for absolutely free because I not only have the time available to do it, but also don’t need money so bad I have to nickel and dime you to death - anyone can conquer their overwhelming pile.
