March 31st Reminders PLUS Bonus Webinar for Virtual Assistants

Here are a couple of offers that are ending March 31st that I want to bring to your attention that I highly recommend all Virtual Assistants have a look at investing in for their business.

Hope your mid-week is going well. I know many are on March break with their children (my son is here now visiting YAY!) so you may be distracted which is why I thought I’d bring these offers to your attention again so you don’t miss out on them.

1) First…Your online business needs an ongoing supply of fresh content in order to attract repeat visitors.

How Your Virtual Assistant Can Help You Obtain Credibility Online

Credibility to me means “trustworthiness”.

Trustworthiness = More Sales Online!

If I trust someone and believe in them as a person/company online, then they can tell me they are an expert at whatever they want and I’ll believe them. ;) AND, I buy from websites/people I trust in the end. Purchasing online for me all boils down to one thing > Trust = Buy.

There are many ways your Virtual Assistant (VA) can help you gain credibility online and here are just a few you can get them to do over the next month to help increase the money at month-end in your bank account.

What is PLR and How Can It Help My Virtual Assistant Business?

You may have seen the term Private Label Rights or PLR articles being tossed around frequently lately.

PLR articles are articles you can buy (usually in packages or as part of a membership) that you may edit and use as you wish. Unlike free reprint articles, you are not required to link back to anyone else’s website which makes them appealing to many web publishers.

Once you understand the concept behind PLR articles, you can see why they are appealing. Most people can envision the value of adding the articles to their websites. But, did you know there are more ways to use PLR articles than that?

Loyal To the Bone as Only a VA Can Be

Have you ever heard the expression – “loyal to the bone”? A quick search on Wikipedia says “loyal to the bone” means: steadfast in allegiance or duty.

So why do I preface this post with that phrase, because it signifies an experience I just had that, to me, personifies what partnering with a Virtual Assistant means. Let me expand.

In my world as a Virtual Assistant, last week was “one of those weeks” where you question the decision you made (in my case 3 years ago) to enter the world of the self employed. A situation happened that could have either helped solidify the client/VA relationship I had OR it could have severed the ties.

Looking for a Virtual Assistant? You will need a RFP!

You have finally come to the conclusion you can’t do everything yourself and the answer is to outsource the work to a Virtual Assistant. Contracting with a VA is the best solution in helping you take care of many administrative duties and maybe look after that special project you haven’t had time for.

It can be daunting trying to hire someone who may be hundreds or thousands of miles away and there are no guarantees they will meet your needs or are able to fulfill their commitment to you and your business. Don’t give up before you even start. There are many good, reliable and super qualified VA’s who would be very happy to take care of your administrative needs.
