Want to Offer Social Media as a Service?...

A few years ago, social media started popping up as a way to connect with your family and friends. Sites like Facebook made it easier than ever to participate in long-distance communication and to keep in touch without the costs of long-distance fees. Over time, these social media sites picked up popularity amongst the business crowd and now, you can’t turn your head without someone mentioning one of the social media sites.

Twitter, Facebook and LinkedIn are three of those social media sites that have gained intense popularity amongst the business crowd. Being a virtual assistant, you know how important it is for us to stay on the cutting edge of what our clients want and need. Social media is THE single, hottest item people are looking for today.

Without having a full understanding of what social media is, how it’s used amongst entrepreneurs and how our clients can benefit from being a part of it, we are missing out on a HUGE opportunity to attract new clients and upsell our existing clients on additional, much needed services.

Adding social media as a service to your business will allow you to:

• Increase your rates
• Attract new business
• Stay up-to-date with new rules on each site

Plus, you can implement what you learn in this program for your own business so that you can begin to attract new clients using social media!

We’re kicking off our Social Media for Clients Program on October 25!

FoVA (Forum on Virtual Assistance) Recap & Pho...

This weekend (May 2-4) was the FoVA Conference in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. It was held at the Delta which featured stunning conference facilities and really great rooms
(we upgraded to the Executive Deluxe floor!) This was the first virtual assistance conference I attended and let me tell you, it was fabulous. You know how sometimes you get the feeling, working remotely from others, that you are working inside of this little box and it isn’t until you get out around your peers that you realize that people do notice? That’s what I felt like at this conference. It was amazing.

I presented during the conference on the subject of creating passive revenue streams in your business. If you’d like to grab a copy of that presentation, I’ll be posting a link to the blog shortly. You can download them even if you aren’t a VA as the information is great for any Internet-based business owner. I love, love, love to speak to others about the things that I do. It’s amazing to be able to share and everyone in my presentation got to experience, first hand, my insanely over-idea’ed brain.

All right, so enough from me, let’s get on with the photos!
