There's been a lot of buzz about overseas VAs lately. Many small business owners swear by it as a way to get a lot done at a fraction of the cost to hire a “Westerner.” But, there also seems to be an endless flow of overseas VA horror stories making their rounds. What is right for your business?

This is very interesting post.

The guy that developed JustRetweet.com is from Pakistan and I regretted hiring him because he ended up launching wedoretweet.com using the same Ideas and concept as mine which is too bad and I ended up firing him and sold the site without no regret.

Right now I have been trying to get another trusted developer whom I can trust and work with that will help me develop my next project and I found your post very helpful. Now I know who to hire.

Thanks for sharing!.

Hey Valentine, That's terrible. Your experience definitely makes it to the "horror story" category. Good luck on your next project and on finding a good, trustworthy developer.
