VA seminar


I attended Jomar Hilario’s VA seminar some weeks back.  I have been quite curious about making money online. I read a lot of them, but mostly those making money are situated in the US.  Until one day while surfing the net,  I came across an article about a housewife making money through the internet (she does not sell stuffs online, if that’s what many of you are thinking) here in the Philippines.  My curiosity even grew more.  So, I searched the net and stumbled on Jomar Hilario’s Ad post on sulit.com.ph.  Timing was on my side that moment as he was going to give a VA Seminar just a few days away.  I immediately availed myself a slot through online payment.  I can definitely say it was worth my whole Saturday afternoon time and the money as well. Yes, it was just one whole afternoon 1pm - 6pm.   I learned a lot about what a VA is, and still learning.   I have now decided to try it out, being a VA.  Oh by the way, this is my first blog.
