Press Release Body: The contracting of Virtual Assistants (VA) is the next big step
for allowing businesses to cut costs while operating in an efficient manner. And
Moving Ahead Communications is bringing affordable outsourcing through their Virtual
Assistant Plus program and changing the face of outsourcing as we know it.



A Virtual Assistant provides any combination of tasks including administrative,
technical and even creative services to their clients, acting as an independent
contractor. They work from their own offices, cutting out the costs of office
space, operations costs and employment taxes, all of which usually fall to the
responsibility of the employer. However, this type of outsourcing allows businesses
to reduce expenses and redirect certain tasks to Virtual Assistant so that key
employees can focus of vital responsibilities.



Research



Research is a vital aspect of marketing and valuable time can be wasted within a
company by employees who do not have the training and skills to conduct efficient
research or who are tasked with multiple duties where research is a fraction of
their responsibilities. By outsourcing a Virtual Assistant to utilize research
tools such as those offered by eBay, and Best Sellers at Amazon.com, and do nothing
but research, a company can maximize its efficiency and stay ahead of the game.



Google Adwords and Adsense tools can be outsourced to a Virtual Assistant which
means that there are no distractions stemming from other responsibilities. With
this type of focus, a company can get very timely information on their market, what
people are searching for and what they want to buy. When the VA delivers the
information in real time, companies can get a jump on the competition. In
marketing, timing is everything. It is imperative that a company receive up to the
minute information on their target market, what is moving and what is losing ground.
An employee who is torn between research and a dozen other tasks can not give this
vital assignment the time and attention that is needs to keep the company at top
notch competitive status.



Product Creation



While research tells a company how to fulfill the 4 P\'s of marketing, Product,
Price, Place (distribution) and Promotion, the product is what generates the profit.
Many products can be constructed by Virtual Assistants. Videos and EBooks are two
prime examples of products that a business can outsource the majority of the
creation process. Virtual assistants can even offer a service or a product on
demand where specs are provided. For instance, an eBook company can take requests
from clients. The company can then turn around and contract the Virtual Assistant
to write the eBook to spec.



Other products may not necessarily be sold for profit, but may be use to attract
customers and drive traffic to the company so that they will be exposed to the
actual product. Autoresponders and various website visitor freebie give-aways like
free eBooks can also fall into the category of products even though they will not
directly contribute to the company\'s profit margin. Ecourses are another popular
product that can be a free offering from the company or one of its products used for
profit.



Sales & Marketing



A product can be top of the line, something that everyone needs or wants, but it
does no good if no one ever sees it - if there is no promotion. A Virtual Assistant
can be outsourced to conduct various aspects of the marketing process such as design
and create websites, set up and manage affiliate programs, conduct the company\'s
online campaign and do various other sales and marketing tasks. Article marketing
and blogging are both very popular and very effective methods of marketing. The
Virtual Assistant can focus all energies on the marketing process, attending to
details that may normally be ignored or missed by employees who are tasked with a
variety of responsibilities.



The Virtual Assistant can focus solely on driving relevant traffic to the company\'s
website and can draw interested eyes to the product. They can help to increase the
company\'s website ranking in the search engines. They can perform many duties
including direct sales and sales calls. There are many options for promotion like
ezines and newsletters, do social networking and email campaigns. The experts at
Moving Ahead Communications can devise a plan for any business and any form of
marketing campaign.



By outsourcing vital tasks to Virtual Assistants, businesses can delegate non core
operations to experts that exist outside of the business. Moving Ahead
Communications is breaking ground in providing businesses of any size a one stop
shop for outsourcing through Virtual Assistants. From administrative duties, press
releases, copywriting and marketing, to web content, auto responders and other
tasks, Moving Ahead Communications meets the needs of businesses where it counts and
they allow those businesses to utilize outsourcing and Virtual Assistants through
three primary areas of business, research, product creation and sales and marketing,
thus cutting costs and increasing efficiency and production.
