Virtual Assistant Forums Hosts Free Event For Members: Small Business Growth Through Blogging


Virtual Assistant Forums welcomes special guest and blogger extraordinaire Grant Griffiths as he shares the ins and outs of using a blog to successfully market a virtual assistance business.

Much has been written about the benefit of maintaining a business blog. In fact, blogging has become such a commonplace marketing venue for large and small businesses alike that many virtual assistants run blogs on behalf of their clients as well as for the benefit of their own practices. While blogs are known for potentially increasing search engine optimization and overall visibility online, this important media tool can also help establish a business owner as an expert in their field.

On Thursday, December 17, 2009 at 6 PST / 9 EST Grant Griffiths of Home Office Warrior, an internet magazine for the home office entrepreneur, will guest-host a free live chat event in the Virtual Assistant Forums Chatroom and discuss how to create a better blog to more effectively promote any small business.

Griffiths says, "Any business is almost required in today’s business world to have a presence online. It is no longer good enough to have a typical static website. Your target audience is looking for a way to have a conversation with you and to get answers to their questions. Blogging gives you that channel as well as a way to provide consistent, relevant information to your readers. A blog allows you to position yourself as the place to go for information - as a thought leader or opinion shaper in your industry."

As a special gift, five lucky community members will receive free copies of Griffiths' "31-Days to Kick Your Blog in the Butt" workbooks and e-books as well as a bonus e-book "30 days of Twitter Tips and Hints".
