<p>Is Your Computer Running Slowly and About to Crash?</span></h2>
<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 <img src='http://www.vanetworking.com/varesources/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </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="urchinTracker('/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="urchinTracker('/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>

<h2>VIRTUAL NEWS YOU CAN USE</h2>
<p><strong>1) 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="urchinTracker('/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="urchinTracker('/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>Try 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 someone you love right now.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.SendOutCards.com/vanetworking" target="_blank" onclick="urchinTracker('/outgoing/www.SendOutCards.com/vanetworking?referer=');"><strong>Please try it on me by clicking here</strong></a></p>

<p><strong><a href="http://www.vanetworking.com/varesources/files/2011/11/tawynasanta1.jpg"><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-2155" title="tawynasanta1" src="http://www.vanetworking.com/varesources/files/2011/11/tawynasanta1.jpg" alt="" width="95" height="129" /></a>2) We are NOW accepting prize donations for our upcoming Vanetworking Holiday Bash</strong> held every year in December. <a href="mailto:tawnya@vanetworking.com">Contact me directly</a> to learn more about how you can give to the Virtual Assistant audience and market your business through your contribution to our network.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>3) Please take the VA Challenge For Cancer Research&#8230;</strong></p>
<p><a href="http://www.momstalknetwork.com/resources/vachallenge/" onclick="urchinTracker('/outgoing/www.momstalknetwork.com/resources/vachallenge/?referer=');"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-2158" title="st-baldricks-fundraiser" src="http://www.vanetworking.com/varesources/files/2011/11/st-baldricks-fundraiser.jpg" alt="" width="237" height="100" /></a>Kelly McCausey, host of Solo Smarts &amp; owner of Mom&#8217;s Talk Network, is in the midst of a fundraiser for St. Baldricks Foundation and I&#8217;m partnering with her to help spread the word.  St. Baldricks raises money to fund childhood cancer research.  Kelly chose St. Baldricks because they choose to work with individual doctors and scientists who are focused on a specific problem.  That appealed to her since she knows how much one dedicated person can accomplish when they have the support they need.  (And we know all about that don&#8217;t we?)</p>
<p>To draw attention to the fundraiser, Kelly has died her hair pink this week (you gotta see it!) and on Black Friday (the day after the US Thanksgiving) she&#8217;ll be getting her head shaved bald. (That&#8217;s sort of the St. Baldricks thing&#8230; it makes a bold statement about the fight against childhood cancer.)</p>
<p>I am honored to partner with her in this!</p>
<p>With a big goal of raising $5000 by November 25th, 2011, you know she needs all the help she can get so I&#8217;m asking all of you to answer her challenge to Virtual Assistants!  Blog about the fundraiser or lend some of your social media muscle to get the word out.  If you do, you can enter a fun sweepstakes with some great business resources up for grabs.</p>

<p><strong>4) Holidays are closing in and I know for me my appearance is important.</strong> Makeup is a quick and easy way to look and feel fresh and attractive. And guess what? My daughter is putting on a contest to WIN a prize pack of cosmetics valued at $60.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.imlovingthis.com/makeup-giveaway" onclick="urchinTracker('/outgoing/www.imlovingthis.com/makeup-giveaway?referer=');"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2157" title="imlovingthis" src="http://www.vanetworking.com/varesources/files/2011/11/imlovingthis.jpg" alt="" width="468" height="72" /></a><strong><br />
Now, I wanted to show this contest to you for TWO reasons.</strong></p>
<p>First, you can win cosmetics! YAY!</p>
<p>But second and most important, it is an <strong>excellent example of using online marketing to increase your following on Twitter and Facebook plus build your email list. </strong> It&#8217;s genius marketing! I&#8217;m always telling you to get online and raise the awarenes of your business through the social media venues. Now you can see what I&#8217;m talking about in full action at:</p>

<h2>VAinsider Club MotiVAtor</h2>

The difference between hearing and listening is that when you begin to listen you begin to be pro-active. Oftentimes listening means “hearing” between the lines and recognizing the problems that exist, even when they remain unspoken. When you begin to take the time to listen to your clients your clients will realize that you truly are a partner in their business and interested in their success.</p>

<p>3) I can&#8217;t stress enough how important it is to have your backup systems in place. I just spoke to another Virtual Assistant this week who lost all their files because they only backup crashed on them. I think it is wise to also have an online backup and I highly recommend Carbonite. It&#8217;s only $50 a year and works fanatstic keeping your files secure. <a href="http://www.VAnetworking.com/carbonite"><strong>Check it out by clicking here.</strong></a></p>

You can decide whether you are going to be happy or sad about the results. Remember that you can always choose to be happy even when faced with adversity. By choosing to be happy, you will start to feel better and see that every situation has a silver lining … sometimes you just have to look a little harder.</p>

Since you are a VAnetworking.com member I&#8217;m giving you a heads up before I announce the event to the general public on Tuesday.

<p><strong>3) On a personal note, I&#8217;d like to ask a favour from all of you.  </strong>Let&#8217;s help my daughter Danielle, who is an Administrator here at VAnetworking.com and works full-time with me to keep VAnetworking running smoothly win an online Award. Her website www.ImLovingThis.com is nominated for the 2011 Beauty Blog Award at Hand Made Reviews website.<strong></strong></p>
<p><strong></strong>She has been a true inspiration to me in how quickly she has learned how to sell her VA services and products online. Go figure, over a year ago she didn&#8217;t even know anything about online marketing or blogging, etc. and now she&#8217;s up for an Award! Danielle, you&#8217;ve come so far in such a short time and I am super proud of you <img src='http://www.vanetworking.com/varesources/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>PLEASE give her website a look and then VOTE for her if you think her beauty blog is worthy of your vote. It&#8217;s an informative blog on beauty products for women where she actually tries the product then writes a review on it.</p>
<p><strong>BONUS:</strong> 3 voters will be randomly selected to win a cool beauty prize. December 12th is last day to vote.</p>

Many individuals choose a mentor based on what that person’s role is in the industry; instead choose someone that has a business that is the closest to your goals and aspirations. These are the people that are most likely to provide you with the information you need to succeed.</p>

</strong></p>
<p>Karon Thackston, website and search engine optimized (SEO) copywriting expert, walks you through the steps to solve all your copywriting problems with your website sales copy like:</p>
<ul>
<li>&#8220;Prospects can&#8217;t find my website on the search engines.&#8221;</li>
<li>&#8220;If they do find me online, they stay at my site for a few seconds then leave.&#8221;</li>
<li>&#8220;I don&#8217;t know what my site visitors are really looking for.&#8221;</li>
<li>&#8220;I&#8217;m not sure how to position myself as the obvious choice.&#8221;</li>
<li>&#8220;I need big-time help getting site visitors to take the action I want them to take.&#8221;</li>
</ul>
<p>Whether you want to learn to write excellent copy to boost the performance of your own website or you want to add this skill as a new, money-making service to expand your business and add to your service list, this LIVE series is the best place to start.</p>

<h2>VAinsider Club MotiVAtor</h2>

Things are always changing and evolving and if your business does not allow for the flexibility to change and evolve you will be left behind. Flexibility in business means planning for the future and the possible “what ifs” … thinking it out and preparing an answer now while you have an unbiased perspective and can truly focus on the best solutions to any possibility.</p>
