Can’t argue with that as a testmonial!
I am impressed with this and other posts I have read and watched, Gavin. So impressed I have tagged you in Del.icio.us and given you the thumbs up in StumbleUpon.
If that translates into more traffic looking for outsourcing help, I sure hope your team is training others. I’d hate for them to be unable to take on new customers by the time I’m ready to engage them.

Nice overview of how you are using your virtual assistants and keeping your multiple businesses and marketing juggling at the same time. I keep missing the project management tool you are using. Please post the name (and link if you would) as well as an update on how well is has been working longer term.
How do you typically account for your VA time in billing clients?
1 hour is 1 hour of billing?
Flat rate?
Cost times a markup amount?
Of course you may be working on a project basis, but I am sure you are taking into account your virtual assistant costs at some level. Some sharing would be appreciated.

I’ve changed the tool since then and am using a tool which is really designed as on online learning environment.
We used it when I was working as a life coach for our course material. It’s opensource it’s called Www.moodle.org and if your host supports fantisco scripts most do you can install it free with one click.
You can see an example of it here http://www.outsourcesuccess.com/member/course/view.php?id=3
You can login as a guest or create an account if you wish, there is lots of good info in there about what we do and outsourcing video’s too.

1 hour is one hour.
If a client signs up just for 10 hours a week and want’s somework done that requires a webdesigner then we charge at a higher rate for that. typically one hour of web design work is 1.5 hours of a normal VA.
