Separate topics with commas, or by pressing return. Use the delete or backspace key to edit or remove existing topics.

You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

Google + Remember the milk + Jott OR Dial2do (not necessary but nice)

This setup covers all of your bases. The trick is to become adept at using filters/canned responses in your gmail coupled with your calendar. I've practically built a secretary using this setup. I do it using a gcal account, two gmail accounts (one primary and one as a robot) , remember the milk gadget in gcal, and jott for when I can't text (rarely used).

I can access the entire setup through any wifi spot or by texting from my junk cell phone. I bring the whole setup full circle using a service called goosync to sync my gcal to my cell phone calendar. It's a very robust system, all parts are fully integrated, and best of all FREE!

Google, RTM, Jott, Goosync, Lifehacker.com and most importantly, personal experience. I rock that setup.

Guru and eLance. You can review prior feedback and use escrow services to make sure you are a good "fit" for the VA prior to forming a long term relationship. Test out several by using a trial work example then compare speed, accuracy, response etc...

Gotomypc is the best. They have aired commercials recently for their product, but have been around for a long time. Both parties need to have it downloaded/installed on their computer, but it is really fast and easy to use. I have used it in several troubleshooting scenarios and like the way it is used. You can also have someone view your computer and show them a PowerPoint presentation while they are watching.

Just my opinion, but it's better than Windows Remote Assistance by far.

i try to tell everyone i can about jott. you can find their website at jott.com. they allow you to setup an account (there are different tiers for the accounts, the free tier is what i use and it amazing) and once you have you can call their 800 number and do amazing things all through voice recognition. you can send emails and texts, add appointments to your google calendar, and interface into numerous other websites. you can send an email from your cellphone in around 30 seconds, and you don't even need a data plan. the voice recognition is very accurate and this company offers an amazing service.

I prefer Remember the Milk. It is a to do list that you can access with text messaging through twitter and it will send reminders to your phone or email.

I Want Sandy is another good virtual assistant, but I found that I preferred Remember the Milk because Sandy sent daily to do lists every morning that I found excessive and annoying.

I've used both of these websites to keep me organized.

Google's calendar (linked through every gmail account) is great. You can have it email or text you reminders and the calendar allows for easy, color coded organization of engagements, meetings and assignments. Plus you can access it from any computer that can go on the internet.

Logmein as a free solution

or

NTRGlobal as a paid solution

I recommend ntrglobal as a business solution. First step is to create a web page with a link for clients can use to click on. Once clicked, your IT department can quickly assist the incoming request (assuming you have an IT manning the helpdesk most of the time). No need to install software on multiply computers.

I recently met the CEO of a mobile security company who swears by http://www.timesvr.com/ He said you need to provide very detailed instructions, but if you do, they can save you a ton of time.

His virtual assistants schedule phone calls for him, researched the best apartment based on criteria he provided and created a spreadsheet comparing the 10 best options based on his criteria. They researched local black car services to find the price difference vs. a taxi, found the best company, and booked a car to pick up a potential hire at the airport.

For $69/month they'll help you with an unlimited number of small tasks and up to a half hour per day of complex time consuming tasks (long web searches, transcribing, etc.). They also offer a free three day trial. I'm planning to give them a try.
