I have a virtual assistant (Cindy Gaffen at Virtuallyfantastic.com) and she really is fantastic. Last month, I was working on a writing assignment and I was getting behind with collecting permissions and sending them to my publisher. She did this so efficiently I didn’t have to worry about it, and I could concentrate on getting the writing done.

As part of the New Year Elance is sponsoring a contest that will award $5,000 to a winner to enable them to hire their own virtual assistant. Virtual Assistants are one of the fastest growing jobs on the web and they can do a variety of tasks– personal and business– that make your life easier, save you time and reduce stress. If you have read Tim Ferris’ bestseller “The Four Hour Work Week” you’ll know that the virtual assistant is an area he spends quite a bit of time writing about. Here is the link for the contest: http://www.elance.com/p/promo/win-virtual-assistant.html

If you win the contest, let me know. Even if you don’t win, consider getting a virtual assistant this year. You can thank me later.
