This info has been published here in various places previously, but we have so many new members I thought I'd revive it so that everyone can utlize it!

There are three easy ways right here on the site that will help you get more traffic and readership to your virtual assistance, small business, or marketing blog:

1) Add your blog's RSS feed to your forum profile.
You may have noticed some members have the linked title of their latest blog post displayed next to their username in every post they make on the forums. If you have a VA blog you can do the same.
Here are some quick instructions to help you update your member profile to include your blog's latest post. All you need is your RSS feed!

2) Submit your blog's RSS feed to our VA Industry blogs page.
Have you checked our our Virtual Assistant Industry Blogs page lately? We list (and archive) posts from some of the best industry blogs - why not include yours too?
To submit your blog for inclusion simply click here, select 'Blog RSS submission' and *be sure to include your Blog's TITLE and RSS FEED in your message!

3) Add your blog to our Virtual Assistant Industry Directory.
It's quick and easy to include your blog in our directory and each listing includes an expanded Alexa profile complete with oversized thumbnail screenshot and various interesting stats - plus of course your own description.
Click here to submit your blog to the directory - just be sure to select 'VA Blogs' and a relative subcategory from the drop down menu!

Id like to update this thread to clarify the RSS feed submission mentioned above - in number TWO.

When submitting your blog in this manner, please be sure to provide your blog's RSS feed - not the URL/domain name...

If you are uncertain as to how to locate your blog's RSS feed check with support or FAQ for the blog program you use, it should be a very easy thing to locate once you know how AND will be very important for you to have this information if you're going to be doing any SEO work on your blog submitting it to directories, etc.

Thank you!!
