Default Why Virtual Assistants Are Good For Your Business
Hi Y'all -
I've posted an article to my website and would really appreciate any feeback you may have.
There's such a wonderful wealth of info out there for VAs, so I thought I'd address the issue of informing the wider public about VA-type services.
I'll be researching non-VA sites and other places to submit this article, hoping it will be seen by business owners who never thought about using our services before. If you know of a good forum for this type of info, I'd surely be grateful for any ideas.
And please drop me a line if you have edit suggestions, or whatever.
Thanks so much!
Oh yeah, the link is here.

I think it reads great. My only suggestion would be to put a space after each bulleted paragraph to make it easier to read. Do you mind if I link to it from my articles page?

Good article Mary Ruth, but may I suggest you give the page a title? When it gets into the search engines it's going to be listed as 'untitled page' because you haven't given it a title. Have you tried some of the article submission sites? There are heaps of them - I can give you a list if you're interested.

Great point Kathie

We actually have a list of article directories in our own directory here that you might find useful.

Kathie, if there are any not in there that you feel should be included I'd love to know

Thanks, Everybody. Actually, I was intentionally not posting it for the search engines, but today I submitted it to eZine.com and will follow up with two subsequent articles this week. The article directories are so numerous, and I've read that you should just go on submitting your stuff everywhere, but I am definitely a little confused on all this. Will check the directory here, should have done that a long time ago!

I've used several of the article sites from that directory for a client. He has since received requests for article reprints!!

That's always a nice fringe benefit of posting your writing out there on the web. Great for your client - I'm sure that made him happy!
