Tell your VA friends to come and spend some time with AVA.

I still have not given away the 50 e-books that I wanted to. I am hoping that this will happen soon and then we can start having some contests and sc…

I recently responded to an ad in the local paper to conduct research survey from home. I went to the compny's website and filled out the form for more information.

I was supposed to cash the bank draft and go to my local Western Union office and send $2,100.00 to a certain person in Onta…

I REALLY want to reach the 50 member goal by this time tomorrow. How can we get 21 new members in the next 24 hours?
- Invite ALL your VA friends and associates
- Blog about AVA
- Post about AVA in other VA groups you belong to
- Add the AVA badge to your website

B.E.T.A. DailyDaily Dose Of Business, Entrepreneurship, Technology & Asides has added a post about AVA to their blog. They have obviously picked up on one of the press releases I released. It is great to see publicity out there on something that is only a few days old. I think we are on to something.
