The Productive VA
Welcome to The Productive VA. My name is Victoria Santiago and I have been a Virtual Assistant for over 5 years. My areas of interest have always been Project Management, Transaction Coordination and Productivity Software.
A frustration I’ve always had as a VA is knowing that there had to be a better, faster way to do what I was doing and having to search endless hours on the net to find an app (short for “Application” or Software) that could help me.
Yes, there are countless Virtual Assistants and Web Worker blogs and organizations with their own very useful resources pages which have helped me countless times but I still had to search through several of them to find what I was looking for. My hope for this blog is to make it a one stop shop for those of you looking for productivity apps.
Following is a list of types of apps that I will feature in this blog:
- Meeting scheduler
- Calendar
- Project Management
- To Do/Task Management
- Email Management

If there’s anything you would like me to add that you don’t see listed here please make your comments and I will add it.
I welcome your feedback and your comments on each app that I feature. I believe that reviews from VA’s in the trenches are most useful in helping someone decide to give an app a try.
Visit my Reviews page to read my app reviews.
Disclaimers:
To help make this project worthwhile, some of the apps I will feature in this blog will have affiliate links. Meaning, if you decide to subscribe or buy any of them I will receive a small commission.
However, that will NOT be the sole reason for me to to feature them. If I list them on this blog it’s because I believe they will make you and your clients more productive and hopefully, in the end, more profitable.
Also, I will concentrate here on apps that are available for use and purchase ONLINE rather than traditional brick and mortar software.
