Entrepreneur on Fire's Weekend Jam Session, Episode 6.

Welcome to Entrepreneur on Fire's Weekend Jam Session, with your host, John Lee Dumas.

Prepare to ignite.

Hey Fire Nation and welcome to another Question & Answer Weekend Jam Session.

So glad you joined us, we have some great questions coming up so let's just get launched.

John, I love your podcast and I listen to it all the time.

I've been dealing with real estate for some time now and I've recently started a blog teaching people how to flip houses.

I've been utilizing VAs in my business for real estate and I found it interesting that you also use them.

My question is how are you able to train your VAs to work your social media for you?

Mike Nelson and his website is www.wholesailinghouses101.com.

Well Mike, this is a great question about virtual assistance and I have some very actionable advice for you.

I personally went to virtual staff finders, you can find them on my resources page at entrepreneuronfire.com slash resources.

And what they do for you is that they actually go out and find three specific VAs that fit your needs.

So I specifically requested three VAs that had social media skills.

They went out, they vetted the virtual assistants out in the Philippines who all had good quality social media skills that fit exactly what I was looking for.

Brought them back to me, I was able to interview them, over Skype and over email, really continue the vetting process on my own and then hire the ones that I actually thought would be a good fit for my program.

So that's a recommendation. Go to a service that you can actually rely on that will provide you with legitimate VAs who have resumes, who have past working experiences that can be vetted by an organization.

So that you know they have a good living environment, a stable internet connection, and you can really make them part of a valuable team.

And then to train them again on my resources page, you can go and you can find screen flow and you can also find Camtasia and what these products do is they actually record your screen as you are going through it.

So if you want to teach them any task to do just record it once and then email that recording to them and they'll be able to very, very quickly learn exactly how to do exactly what you're requesting them to do.

And you'll be surprised a how quickly they pick it up and B how quickly they're using their ingenuity to start teaching you things I'm telling you my VAs are so talented they do some amazing things I could not be more positive.

Give them the tools and they will do the rest.
