HOW DID IT ALL COME ABOUT?
Over the past decades, marketing yourselves and getting the word out to the world was both costly, time-consuming, and limited. Television, radio, news print and word-of-mouth was your only options.  Without unlimited funds, even those avenues were not going to take you as far as you really wanted to go.  Then came the Internet and we all realize was a major asset that has been to businesses all over the world.  But still, even though you had a gorgeous web site built for your company,  there was still the problem of getting traffic there.  Now, there is Social Networking.  Within minutes, your can get a message out to millions of potential customers.
The experienced SOCIAL MEDIA MARKETING SPECIALIST knows how to build you a kingdom using the social networks and viral video.  Twitter, Facebook, Ning, LinkedIn, YouTube….used correctly, each of these (and dozens more) can take your business as far as you want and further than you may presently realize.  Facebook alone presently has over 400 million active users worldwide, with 500, 000 signing up each day.   Allow that to sink in and consider the potential for your business for a moment.

THANKS FOR CONSIDERING US We hope you’ll stay a while and look around.  See exactly what we can offer you.  We’re here to help you grow.

The concept of VIRTUAL ASSISTANCE OF PORTLAND began in 2009 as a result of my love to social media and realizing the benefits it held for my own web sites.  I received my certification as a SOCIAL MEDIA MARKETING SPECIALIST through VA Classroom. I had known that the PORTLAND, OREGON area was a hot-bed for startups and young businesses.  Why not apply all I had learned to help the people in the city I love?  It was a perfect niche and I turned my attention toward those small business owners.

I presently work for two VIRTUAL ASSISTANTS as a way to increase my knowledge, use what I already know and subsidize my own business (after all, everyone can use a little help, right?) There is nothing better than doing what you love for a living. ;)
