I often get asked what is the difference between the following three books below. Here is an explanation:
The Home-Grown Secretary is my story of how I got started, the journey of developing a business and a formula to set your own rates (works for any country and currency), set up at home, pros and cons of operating at home, finding work and some history of the VA industry. Available in printed form and as an eBook.
How to Become a Virtual Assistant is a list of questions asked by would-be VAs and answers to those questions, which has some info from the first book (The Home-Grown Secretary), and includes the formula for setting up your own rates. This page shows a list of questions here. eBook only.
How to Set Up a Business From Home is similar to the second book but is generic with many other questions answered. It also lists suggested types of businesses to run from home so would be ideal for someone who is looking for something other than being a VA. eBook version only. For a list of the questions for this book, click here.
