Lisa Nicholson is a Virtual Assistant who offers many online services like Real Estate, Administration, Social Media, Design services and Contact Management services. Can you imagine how easy it would be to just hire your own assistant to take care of your administrative work without having to provide all the basic necessities to her in your office space? I think this is a unique concept and Lisa has well established herself in this domain and is an expert in the concept of Virtual Assistants.
Get to know more about what it all means by visiting her website and I am sure there is more value added by this unique service being offered. Lisa has also taken up to blogging and has even published a Guest Article on my website which you can read here – VA & Social Media.
