<td valign="top"><strong>You may not know this but a bulk of my revenue is generated by incorporating Affiliate Marketing into my online business mix.</strong>I&#8217;m even speaking about this hot topic at OIVAC coming up this week (see more info below under #2 Virtual News You Can Use Now) if you&#8217;d like to learn about the nitty gritty details.For those of you who have never heard of the term before, affiliate marketing basically means selling other people’s products for a commission online. Affiliate marketing is similar to offline sales where sales people earn a commission for selling a product; the difference is that all selling is conducted online.</p>
<p>As an affiliate marketer I research and find products to promote on my website. Each time I make a sale through my affiliate link I will earn a portion of that sale. The commissions can vary from as low as 7% to a generous 50%.</p>
<p>The sales are tracked through my unique affiliate ID which is assigned to me at the time I sign up for a specific affiliate program. My unique affiliate ID is tracked and each time a sale is made through my link it is recorded. A good affiliate program will give me plenty of tools for promoting their products as well as a comprehensive member’s area where I can track my affiliate sales and commissions.</p>
<p>Affiliate marketing is a good way to get started making money online. You can be set up and ready to go within a few days and there is no need to spend any time creating your own products or purchasing inventory. You are simply promoting other people’s products, which means the vendor is actually responsible for order fulfillment, customer service and anything else related to the sale – you simply refer the sale to them and get paid for doing so.</p>
<p>For example if you have a Virtual Assistant website, you can create a resources page for you clients around products they may evenutally use in their business. Examples that come to mind are 1shoppingcart, Carbonite, Freshbooks or Clientspot. You can find other programs by doing a search under your chosen topic such as “business startup products” and adding the words “affiliate program” to that term. You can also find affiliate programs at places like <a href="http://www.cj.com" target="_blank" onclick="pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/www.cj.com?referer=');">Commission Junction</a> or my favourite, <a href="http://vanetworking.com/clickbank" target="_blank" onclick="pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/vanetworking.com/clickbank?referer=');">Clickbank</a>.</p>
<p>Although affiliate marketing is an easy way to make more money online, there is a little more to it than just throwing up a few links and banners and waiting for the affiliate check to arrive. A good affiliate marketer knows it takes time and effort to make sales.</p>
<p>A good way to do this is by providing quality information on your website and only linking to affiliate products where appropriate. Another good tip is to review the products you promote so that you can accurately describe all the features – good and bad. Your customers will appreciate honest feedback and will be more likely to buy from you if you give them good quality information and honest reviews.</p>
<p>And don&#8217;t forget it is not just clients you can market affiliate products to. Virtual Assistants also visit other VA websites to learn about their competition or to learn how to become a VA. Don&#8217;t miss out on this potential revernue generating traffic, Make sure you also have resources for Virtual Assistants on your website that have your affiliate link embedded in them so you can make money off your competitors too.</p>
<p>Did you know that every time you refer someone to VAnetworking.com and they buy a product from me that you can earn commissions?</p>

<p>To your happiness in 2012,</p>

<p><strong>PS:</strong> A warm welcome to all our new subscribers this week. I look forward to helping you answer all the questions you may have in your virtual business.

If you are having a hard time finding the positives ask someone to help you in your quest.

<p><strong>DATE:</strong> Tuesday, May 15th, 2012 at 3PM PDT</p>
<p><strong>Topic: </strong>Referral Building</p>
<p>Referrals can be a great way to build your business, but many make the mistake of waiting for the referrals without working on getting referrals for others. We will talk about why you should concentrate more of giving referrals then getting referrals and how to become an effective referrer. In this class we will also provide you with some effective tips for not only building your referral database, but just what you need to know about a person in order to effectively refer to them. When participants leave this class they will have the tools needed to effectively interview and seek out leads for others and how to effectively ask others to do the same for your business.</p>

<p>This business trip reminded me of a time a few years ago when I attended my first VA Conference and the reasons why I attended same. I recorded a whole VA Talk Show on my experience. Here&#8217;s the podcast from back then (NOTE: Being this was an archived podcast, some of the links or call in numbers may not work now as they are outdated but the content is still very valuable to those &quot;thinking&quot; about attending their first VA Conference).</p>

  </p>
<p>At the time of this recording, I also asked other Virtual Assistants to phone in and give their reasons why they attending VA conferences and here is that recording:</p>

<h2><a name="news" id="news"></a><font color="#CC9900">Are YOU Finding Yourself Stumbling Over Technology?!?</font></h2>
<p>Lynette Chandler spoke with us this past week at our FR-EE Virtual Assistant Training webinar and if you missed it you can <a href="http://www.VAnetworking.com/downloads/vatrainingsite" target="_blank"><strong>watch the replay here</strong></a>.</p>
<p>Lynnette shared with us some valuable information if you are lately finding yourself stumbling over technology. Maybe you have had a client ask if you could add a new email to their cpanel or simply change the font style in the headline of their blog posts?</p>
<p align="center"><a href="http://www.vatrainingsite.com" target="_blank" onclick="pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/www.vatrainingsite.com?referer=');"><img src="http://www.vavirtuosos.com/images/sponsor.jpg" alt="" width="468" height="60" border="0"></a></p>
<p>It&#8217;s not always that easy trying to figure out the little steps in between that are often technical in nature, like Cascading Style Sheets (or better known as CSS), making certain pages appear different in WordPress, protecting premium content, stringing together the payment system, affiliate program and membership system.</p>
<p>This tech stuff can be brutally frustrating. You could stumble, stub your toes, cut your knee or feel like taking a sledge hammer to your computer. That doesn&#8217;t mean you should. In fact, you don&#8217;t have to if you had a pass to attend and preview all our NEW &quot;TECH&quot; training programs at:</p>

<h2><font color="#CC9900">Ready For Some Hippy Marketing?</font><br />

<p>&#8216;ve been following an Internet Marketer lately that has really impressed me and who I&#8217;ve learned some interesting online marketing tips from the past couple of months that actually work! Now that I&#8217;ve checked him out, I can&#8217;t keep my secret any longer. Here&#8217;s introducing some hippy marketing that is working for me and I&#8217;ve just managed to grab you a fr-ee copy of the scariest, grittiest and most effective &#8216;realresults&#8217; Internet marketing newsletter out there. In his &#8216;Affordable Mentoring Newsletter&#8217; Tony  simply doesn&#8217;t &#8216;DO&#8217; theory.</p>
<p>Everything in &#8216;AffMent&#8217; is a technique that has been used by Tony or marketers he personally<br />
  knows. And you&#8217;ll be able to see that for YOURSELF because he lays the results WIDE OPEN for you&#8230;Including ACTUAL stats such as earnings, income, traffic numbers. list sizes, results, disasters<br />
  and even black hat stuff.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s the nearest thing you&#8217;re going to get to Tony&#8217;s sold-out $12k a year personal mentoring<br />
  program.</p>

<p>As Virtual Assistants, and especially busy Virtual Assistants, we forget the importance of scheduling breaks into our day. We become so focused on our business and our clients that we forget about ourselves. By taking a break, even if just for 10 minutes, you will find yourself rejuvenated and your creativity will be in tuned. Start scheduling breaks throughout your day and you will begin to reap the rewards.

<td valign="top">Are you truly happy in your life and work? While the ability to achieve happiness and fulfillment may seem elusive at best, the truth is it is actually quite possible to find both.<strong><span style="color: #330099;">Here are 5 tips to achieve happiness and fulfillment in your life and work.</span></strong><strong>Tip #1 &#8211; Know what you want, and write it down </strong>What do you truly want? Visualize yourself feeling happy and fulfilled. What do you see? Are you sitting on a beach? Is your debt gone? Are you painting? Running? Playing with your children? Write down what will make you feel happy and fulfilled – consider it your life vision statement. Post it in a place where you have access to it and can refer back to it often. I have mine posted on the wall behind my computer monitor which I look at every day.</p>
<p>Now, from this vision statement, create small steps to make your vision a reality. For example, if you find fulfillment from being with your friends, then what can you do to make that a reality? Why not drop a phonecall today to that friend you&#8217;ve not heard from in awhile.</p>
<p><strong>Tip #2 &#8211; Be grateful for what you have </strong></p>
<p>Gratitude is a powerful emotion. It reminds you of how important the small things really are. Each breath, ray of sunshine, plate of food and roof over our head is something to be grateful for. Make a practice of writing down what you’re grateful for each day. A nice practice is to wake in the morning and think about what you have to look forward to and end the day thinking about or journaling what you are grateful for.</p>
<p><strong>Tip #3 &#8211; Help others </strong></p>
<p>I&#8217;m not saying you have to donate your life savings or volunteer 40 hours a week, what I am saying is that small acts of kindness boost your mood incredibly. And they have the effect of improving the lives of others. Small things, like holding a door for someone in need, saying &#8220;thank you&#8221; and &#8220;have a nice day&#8221; when you’re talking to strangers and helping to pay for someone’s coffee when they’re short changed, brings happiness to everyone around you.</p>
<p><strong>Tip #4 &#8211; Understand that you have the power </strong></p>
<p>You’re ultimately responsible for everything you think and do. While that may seem depressing at first, when you consider the unfortunate decisions you’ve made (and we’ve all made decisions we wished we could take back) the truth is that this is an amazing power. You can choose to learn from mistakes, take advantage of opportunities, look on the bright side and control your life.</p>
<p><strong>Tip #5 &#8211; What is your purpose in life? </strong></p>
<p>Is your purpose to help others, to learn, to lead, to unite? We all have a direction we want to take our lives in. Finding your purpose may not be easy. However, it can be a fun process in and of itself. For example, if you love learning new things then your ultimate purpose in life might be to learn. Regardless of what your work and lifestyle are, you can make time to embrace your purpose. Read books, take online courses,, enroll in college courses, participate in community education to help you with your VA business!</p>
<p>You deserve to feel happy and fulfilled, whatever that means to you. Take the time to celebrate who you are and all that you have in your life. Understand what makes you ultimately feel happy and fulfilled and create strategies to make it happen.</p>
<p>To your happiness in 2012,</p>

<h2><span style="color: #cc9900;">Are YOU Finding Yourself Stumbling Over Technology?!?</span></h2>
<p>Running a profitable blog, marketing and selling on the Internet is actually a simple process. What&#8217;s not so easy, are little steps in between that are often technical in nature, like Cascading Style Sheets (or better known as CSS), making certain pages appear different in WordPress, protecting premium content, stringing together the payment system, affiliate program and membership system.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.vatrainingsite.com" target="_blank" onclick="pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/www.vatrainingsite.com?referer=');"><img src="http://www.vavirtuosos.com/images/sponsor.jpg" alt="" width="468" height="60" border="0" /></a></p>
<p>This tech stuff can be brutally frustrating. You could stumble, stub your toes, cut your knee or feel like taking a sledge hammer to your computer. That doesn&#8217;t mean you should. In fact, you don&#8217;t have to if you had a pass to attend and review all our NEW &#8220;TECH&#8221; training programs:</p>
<p>You will find a wide variety of technical training to help run a profitable blog or web based business. Topics vary through the year so there&#8217;s something for every skill level. Keep in mind, what you&#8217;ll get is so much more because classes are often peppered with valuable real life experiences and techniques.</p>

I love my iPad2 and iPhone4 but surprisingly don&#8217;t own a MAC yet (maybe my next techie investment?)</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s a sweet trick for users of the iPhone2 that I just learned today from a friend who isn&#8217;t even a geek, go figure! I love learning new things so here is a kewl iPhone tip if you want to send emoticons easily in your text messages.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.vanetworking.com/images/iphoneemoticon.jpg"><img src="http://www.vanetworking.com/images/iphoneemoticon.jpg" alt="" width="179" height="276" align="left" border="0" hspace="20" /></a>First you&#8217;ll have to upgrade to iOS 5.1 with your iPhone. Once you do that then do the following:</p>
<p>1. Go to Settings icon &gt; General &gt; Keyboard</p>
<p>2. Scroll down and click on International Keyboards and then choose &#8220;Add New Keyboard&#8221;</p>
<p>3. Look for &#8220;Emoji&#8221; in the list and add it.</p>
<p>Thats it! Now go and text message someone and you&#8217;ll now see a small globe icon beside the number 123 icon on your text keyboard. When you click on this it gives you all kinds of emoticons you can use in your text messages from happy faces to balloons. Cool feature huh?</p>
<p>Only downfall is that the emoticons will only show up if the person you are texting also has an iPhone. So how do you know if the other person has an iPhone? Easy peasey&#8230;if your text message is in a blue bubble when you send it out, then the recipient is using an iPhone. If your text message is in a green bubble then they are probably on a Blackberry or some other type of cell phone and not a member of the iPhone tribe. Too bad so sad for them ;)</p>
<p>Hope you all have a productive week and learn new things to help your business along the way.</p>
<p>Wishing you virtual $UCCESS in 2012,</p>

<h2><a id="news" name="news"></a><strong><span style="color: #cc9900;">VAvirtuosos Online Conference Revs Up!</span></strong></h2>
<p><strong><span style="color: #990000;">The doors are opened and tickets are selling fast</span></strong> to attend our Virtual Assistant Virtuosos Seminars Season 5 (VAVS5) online conference called “From one Virtual Assistant to another…”</p>
<p>If you have attended this event before I’m sure you’ll grab your ticket right now as you know how much you can learn to help you succeed in your VA business from the speakers who have been there and done it already, Virtual Assistants themselves. ;)</p>
<p><a href="http://www.VAvirtuosos.com" onclick="pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/www.VAvirtuosos.com?referer=');"><strong>REGISTER NOW</strong></a></p>
<p>If you’ve not attended it yet, just listen to what some of our past attendees have said:</p>
<blockquote><p><em>“The amount of information I have received for such a small investment is insane! The notes and tips I took away from the seminars are priceless! If you are a VA it should be a no-brainer to attend this week long event! Don’t miss this event you will potentially lose new opportunities!!” ~ Jaime-Ann Laidlaw</em></p>
<p><em>“I can’t wait! I attended last year’s VA Virtuosos and it was one of the most informative series of tele-classes for virtual assistants I’ve ever been part of. I can’t believe it’s such an amazing bargain.” ~ Nina Feldman</em></p></blockquote>
<p><strong>DON’T DELAY…THE DOORS ARE OPEN</strong> and you can attend all 20 webinars during March 26-30th for ONLY $19. You heard it right! That’s under $1 a webinar to learn new strategies, tips, programs and ideas to help your VA business grow to its fullest potential. We sell out for every VAVS so make sure you grab your seat early.</p>
<p><strong><a href="http://www.VAvirtuosos.com" onclick="pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/www.VAvirtuosos.com?referer=');">Check out all the speakers and register today!</a></strong></p>
<p>(Lynn Terry will also be there doing Virtual Assistant website reviews to help you learn how to monetize your VA site).</p>

<h2><span style="color: #cc9900;">FREE DETAILED Training Videos!</span></h2>
<p>Earlier this week my colleague Cindy Greenway launched her brand new FR-EE 3-part video training series called the Virtual Assistant Formula.</p>
<p><strong>These videos contain jam packed content that will help all VAs with building a SOLID VA business.</strong> In each video (approximately 30 minutes each) Cindy takes you step-by-step through a variety of topics that, if applied, could mean the difference between a failed, and a highly successful business.</p>
<p>Many of the strategies Cindy shares in this series are the very same ones she used to attract more clients than she could handle within 9 months of starting her business.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.VAnetworking.com/vaformula"><strong>SIGN UP HERE</strong></a> to receive immediate access to this 3-part video training series and get yourself ready to get some kick-butt info.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<hr />
<h2><span style="color: #cc9900;">Ready for the NEW Facebook Pages Timeline???</span></h2>
<p>The new timeline for Facebook pages is going to happen on March 30th whether we like it or not. Facebook Pages are the primary source of business activity in social media. This new set of changes will effect every company that wants to have a Facebook presence, or already has one. After March 30th, old FB Pages will be automatically changed to the new format and if you or your clients are not ready for that, you can end up with obsoleted pages that will lose you leads and sales.</p>
<p>I found this new product for only $27 called the FB Total Timeline. You&#8217;ll get 20 turnkey timeline page templates, training videos on how to install the new timeline pages, live timeline training webinar, a lead generation letter to tell clients what the problem is (page changes) and how you are going to solve it for them, a timeline for pages cheatsheet and more!</p>
<p>This is the resource you need to get on top of Timeline Pages right now not just for your site but to help your clients sites.</p>

And, our obvious traffic volumes from our own articles clearly shows that <strong>YES, article marketing is a valuable marketing strategy all should be strategically utilizing!<br />
</strong>Writing articles can sometimes be a real struggle. Not to mention, trying to write articles that get results.<strong><span style="color: #330099;">Here are a few tips to help you through the struggle while also boosting your writing confidence, website traffic and bottom line.</span></strong></p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #cc9900;">#1 Ask a question. </span></strong>The easiest, and also most valuable and therefore popular, type of content to write is a “how to” article. However, how to articles can get quite complicated. For example, if you’re trying to write an article on how to market your website or getting into the social media realm, that could easily be a book and narrowing it down to 500-ish words can be tricky.</p>
<p><strong><em>So here’s the key, ask a question.</em></strong> Brainstorm one question or a series of questions people might ask on your topic. If, for example, you’re in the marketing industry then one question might be, &#8220;How do I get into Google?&#8221; Or &#8220;How does one optimize their blog post for high rankings?&#8221; Once you have your question, and quite likely your headline, then all you have to do is answer it with at least three points.</p>
<p><strong>Voila!</strong> Add a nice introduction and a conclusion and you have a useful article that was easy to write. In fact, once you become accustomed to this process, and if you really know your industry, you can write an article that gets results in about ten minutes.</p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #cc9900;">#2 Reference a current headline, controversy or trend in the industry. </span></strong>This is a great way to capitalize on a popular topic and thus drive traffic to your website. Additionally, it enables you to give your two cents on the topic. When you reference content written by an expert in your industry, it adds credibility to you and your business because it demonstrates that you’re on top of the trends in your industry.</p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #cc9900;">#3 Answer a question you commonly receive from customers, prospects, associates, friends and family.</span> </strong>This is an easy one because you know if you’ve been asked it before, perhaps several times, then the question is on the minds of others. Start your article by restating the question and then answer it. It’s often very easy to write these articles because you’ve already answered the question at least once. If you write conversationally, the words will flow quickly onto the page. This type of article gets results as well because it helps people find answers and information to questions they have.</p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #cc9900;">#4 Lists.</span> </strong>Finally, it must be said. <span style="color: #990000;"><strong>Everyone loves lists. </strong></span>They’re particularly useful online when our attention span is perhaps a bit shorter than normal and we can quickly and easily scan the article for the useful information. Lists are also saved, printed, emailed and referenced so they’re great for generating repeat traffic. What kind of lists should you make? You can make a list of mistakes to avoid, products to try, websites to visit and so on. The opportunity for list making is virtually endless and they’re super easy to write.</p>
<p><strong>Writing an article that gets results can be quick and easy.</strong> The next time you’re in a crunch, try the answer a question approach or the list. You’ll be surprised how easy they are to write and how much your website visitors appreciate them.</p>

</span><strong><span style="color: #cc9900;">Want to be an Expert in your niche?</span></strong></h2>
<p><strong>What are you waiting for?</strong> We still are accepting applications until the end of February for speakers who are in the Virtual Assistant industry for our Spring http://www.VAvirtuosos.com (VAVS5) series held March 26-30th. No speaking experience necessary, just a desire to share what has helped you in your VA business to others in our industry.</p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #990000;">Don’t be scared, it’s fun </span></strong>and everyone is there not to hear a perfected speech but to hear what you know about being a Virtual Assistant that they don’t. If you’ve got something to tell/teach your business VA colleagues to help with their VA business success, why not step up to the podium and share with us?</p>
<p><strong><em>If you’ve ever been thinking about speaking as a side line income</em></strong> this is a great way to test the waters behind a computer screen via a webinar scenario.

<p><em><strong>Every mistake is a lesson waiting to be learned. </strong></em>If you don’t take the time to look at your mistakes and figure out how you can avoid that situation from happening again, you will be doomed to repeat the mistake over and over. It takes a “big” person to admit when they are wrong, but by making this admission, you will find that others will begin to trust you even more than they already have; especially when you put steps in place to avoid making the same mistake twice!!</p>

<p><img src="http://www.vanetworking.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/is-this-you.png" alt="" width="239" height="243" align="right" />Avoid the blue screen of death, My Computer Guy, Mike Van Ert, has an awesome deal for you this week&#8230;</p>
<p>This is the best computer maintenance offer he has ever made, a whopping $141 savings over his regular $240 price for six months of remote computer maintenance and updates.</p>
<p>What makes it even better is he works to your schedule. He does all his work at night when you&#8217;re done for the day. (He also works on the weekends too). I&#8217;ve been using Michael for the past 3 years and I&#8217;ve never had a problem with virus or updates. My computer has yet to crash!</p>
<p>I love his service and highly recommend it for you and your clients. You just never know when your business will suddenly stop because your computer went down. Avoid that, get Michael&#8217;s offer today :)</p>
<p>In summary, great price + great service = great deal!</p>

<p><strong><em>Keeping your priorities straight is essential on the road to success.</em> </strong>It is important to know what needs to be done and what distractions are keeping you from finishing those tasks. Keeping a daily task list and prioritizing the tasks on that list is a great way to get things done and stay focused. The best way to prioritize is to separate into three categories; must be done today, should be done today and can wait until tomorrow. Focus first on those tasks that need to be done today and you will find that what is important is no longer getting “lost in the shuffle”.</p>

<p><strong>2) The holiday season is fast approaching us.</strong> Are all your greeting cards stamped and ready to send off to your clients, business colleagues, friends and family? For most of us, this seems like such a daunting project organizing your greeting card list and sending out personalized cards yet it is crucial to connecting with your market.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong><a href="http://www.sendoutcards.com/vanetworking" onclick="pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/www.sendoutcards.com/vanetworking?referer=');"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2154" title="sendoutcards468c" src="http://www.vanetworking.com/varesources/files/2011/11/sendoutcards468c.gif" alt="" width="468" height="60" /></a></strong></p>
<p>A simple card referral system I use is <a href="http://www.SendOutCards.com/vanetworking" target="_blank" onclick="pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/www.SendOutCards.com/vanetworking?referer=');">SendOutCards. </a>I can upload a spreadsheet of all my contacts, personalize one card with my picture/logo on it, add my handwritten note with my signature on it and then click SEND TO ALL! Within an hour I can easily send 1,500 customized greeting cards to my people. I can even add gifts!</p>
<p>ry it out yourself. I&#8217;ve set up a F.R.E.E. trial at the link below where you can send out a card to a client or friend right now.</p>
<p>Please send a holiday greeting card to a client or friend on me&#8230;</p>
