Working On Website
When I began my VA business, I started a website through GoDaddy and used it for about a year. My hosting subscription then expired, but I continued to keep my domain, so I have been without a website for about a year now. I kept telling myself I needed to work on this and just put it off. Why you ask? I’m not sure myself, but I finally am taking the time and effort to accomplish this.
Recently, I started taking a Word Press class from a couple of fellow Virtual Assistants (VA’s) and decided to finally build a site that I am proud of and not some “template” site. I am in the process of doing this and am learning things to add to the site each class I attend.
As my website progresses, I will start promoting my business more and hopefully be able to add website design to my services. I wish I had learned to do this years ago as #1, I personally believe this is the number one online services a VA should provide to their clients and #2, I have realized how much I love doing this type of work.
I am still learning how to “write” a blog, but I’m hoping that just comes natural. For now, I will be just posting anything and everything to get the experience I need to have a successful website (blog site). Any advice and/or feedback from any of my readers would be appreciated :).
Thanks to the Average Joe University (http://averagejoeuniversity.com/) and the great instructors I have (Diane Potter and Cassandra Morgan, the fellow VA’s :), I believe I am finally on my way to success and want to thank them all VERY MUCH!!!
How Successful have you been with networking on LinkedIn?
I have had a LinkedIn account for probably as long as I have had my Virtual Assistant business, which is going on two years. I never kept up with my account and a few months ago, I read somewhere that LinkedIn was a great place to network with prospective clients and other Virtual Assistants. When I read about this, I thought I would give it another try and began reading all of the wonderful articles and discussions and learned so much and have already found a few new clients that I have loved working for more than anyone I have worked with since I’ve been in business. How successful has LinkedIn been for you?
Bred Of Deceit – Hubby’s Band
In addition to owning my own VA business, I also help manage my husband’s band, Bred Of Deceit. They have gone so far in such a short time and I am so proud of them. If anyone enjoys hard rock/metal music, make sure you check their site out at www.myspace.com/bredofdeceit
Virgin Blogger
I have been working with Diane Potter at The Virtual Difference for a couple of months now and help post and promote her clients’ blog posts. I am now working on updating my website and once that is completed, my goal is to work on writing, posting and promoting my own blogs.
