Summary
For the review, I asked @SocialManager to demonstrate the example VA services he listed in his thread. The details of my review are below.

Service Highlights
  • The upvotes/likes/views/commenting services were delivered based on what the seller felt was reasonable.
  • I sent the seller a random and poorly-written Clickbank landing page for him to proofread. Not only did he point out the spelling and grammar errors with screenshots showing where they're at, but he went a step further and sent me explanations on each and every issue he found explaining why they're wrong and his suggestions for fixing them.
  • The testimonials @SocialManager wrote were well-written.
  • The voice recordings the seller sent me were crisp and clear. In addition to the m4a files I was sent, @SocialManager also sent me a transcript of the voice recordings, which matched up perfectly to what was said.
  • The Quora Answers were well-written and informational. Additionally, they were not only on topic, but each one also sounded as if they were written by a different person.
What Could Use Improvement
  • I'm nitpicking here, but there was just a little bit of noise at the end of the recordings as if someone very lightly tapped the microphone, but it's really nothing that can't be edited out.
Additional Information
  • I found @SocialManager quite easy to work with, but on top of that, he sent me an explanation regarding his service that I don't normally get from VA services. This explanation he sent me really showed how he's set himself apart from other VA service providers and how he provides quality over quantity, hence why he's received one of these green reviews I rarely give out to sellers.
For buyers: The quality of the product or service that I receive is what you should expect, or better. If you feel that the quality of the service has dropped significantly, please let us know via the report button.
 
Is there a limit of articles or reviews you will do?

No. If you give me 1,000 articles or reviews to work on, I will spend some time each day working on them as I balance projects from other clients.

New website and Frequently Asked Questions coming soon to help explain the value I can bring to clients.

It's in my best interest to do as much work as possible for clients so that they do not complain or cancel their subscription.

It's in my best interest to work quickly on projects and get results to clients so I can take on more clients.

Clients can assign unlimited work and I will do my best to provide as much completed work each month as I can, according to their instructions.

So roughly how many hours a month does the $48 get you?
 
I have the same question....

Clients should expect a minimum of 8-10 solid hours of work from me each month right now. Each client is very different, so it all depends on how much work you assign me and what type of work. In addition to those hours, I am spending many hours planning and considering the best way to handle your projects, reviewing my work to look for improvements, and discussing projects and results when needed.

I am a project based worker, not an hourly worker. You assign me projects, and I work on them.

Think of the kinds of tasks sold on Fiverr as a good example of the kind of work I do. Rather than paying $5.00+ per task, you just hire me for the month and assign the tasks to me. You get higher quality than most Fiverr sellers can deliver, you have no limit on the number of tasks you can ask for, I work as quickly as I can to open myself up to take complete more tasks to keep my clients happy so they renew each month. There is no upselling or extra fees involved, you have the backing of BlackHatWorld's shitlist if things go bad, you don't need to go looking for different sellers, you get all the revisions and changes you want with no extra fees.

New website launching soon (hopefully) where I can include samples of my work for everyone to review.
 
You commit some minimum count on each of your work for that 48$ package . that way people can understand and order .

I am trying to build a client list of people who want a personal virtual assistant available for tasks they have, and who see good value in having a dedicated person with my credentials and availability. It's not easy on BlackHatWorld, for sure. I feel like trying something different though.

You can hire me to write articles, but then you decide you want to try and rank some YouTube videos. You don't have to hire a different person, just consult with me and we can develop a strategy together for what I can do to help achieve your goals. When is the last time a service provider spent 3-4 hours just consulting with you on an order that cost $48? If that's what you need, then let's do it.

If you just want to leave me to write articles, that's great too! I will do my best to give you great value, and I am always available for feedback, unlimited revisions, corrections, and anything else you need at no extra cost. If you have a minimum amount that you want, you should just PM me and ask if I can do that for you as part of the $48 monthly fee.

I am very interested in this;

Any reviews?

No reviews are available. I only have a few clients I am working with right now, and we haven't completed a month so it's hard for anyone to give feedback on the value I have provided. Some clients I work with every day, some clients I will just deliver work after 2 weeks or at the end of the month. Every client is unique. Best is to send me a Private Message with some ideas you have for what you want me to do, and we can see if I can make a proposal that looks like good value to you!
 
Does this possible from your VA to do outreach.

I have long list of blogs to do outreach.

please let me know if they can do it
 
How many people will you sign up?

How many have signed up?

Will you be transparent about that?
 
I'm interested in data entry, do I need to train this person?

Usually, there is no training required. All work is done by me personally, and I have done data entry professionally for many different organizations and in many freelance tasks. If you give me basic instructions, this is usually enough, and I can show you the results, and if there are any problems I can make adjustments according to your feedback.

How many people will you sign up?

How many have signed up?

Will you be transparent about that?

I am working with 3 clients right now. I am only signing up a maximum of 10 clients to start, because I need to make sure I can give enough time to each client to give them good value. But, people shouldn't be worried about how many clients I am working with, they should be worried about what they want from me. Every client is different. A client may only need 3 hours a month from me to get good value (some of the work I do is usually charged at $15-$25 per hour, such as medical transcription work).

If someone is truly interested, and doesn't know if this service will be a good fit for them, they should just send me a message with what they have in mind, and I can easily give more realistic expectations about what I can provide them. I am obviously going to be doing anything I can to keep people from giving me bad reviews, especially early on in my service offering.

For my ideal client, the first month is merely an investment in a long term business relationship. I am very open-minded and willing to try anything and do reasonable tasks I can for subscribers, even if they just want 1 month of services and nothing more, but I really would like to find clients who I develop a long term relationship with and I am just their go-to virtual assistant who handles random tasks that come up, or on-going management of social media accounts keeping them updated on a regular basis.

It's not profitable for me to have clients who work me to the bone every month. We are talking about $48 a month, and for me, that's 2 hours of off-line work, but I would rather work from home, and rather develop long term relationships and network with other like-minded people.

anyone tried this service?

Yes, but we are just getting started, and as such, there isn't much feedback available. The beginning of the month is often me establishing the relationship with the client, making sure I understand what they want, then I have to spend time researching the tasks, researching the client's industry, and planning how I will spend my time during the month to balance the clients and my own projects.

You can see a review of the basic quality of work I can do, and my associated skills, in the mod review.

If you have specific concerns or questions, simply send me a PM and I will address them.
