That is such an excellent post. He hit on what so many do wrong where they just go on and on about how great their services are, what those services are, etc., and not talk about what benefits they can give the potential client.

Thanks!

I have heard about Duct Tape Marketing for quite some time now but never really looked at the site or blog. a lot of the internet marketing guru's talk about it. Good find.

The you tube video idea is great I hadn't even thought about it, but it makes since that is the most accessed media on the net. I have also thought about setting up a myspace account. I know that there are alot of people on the myspace arena that I can market to also.

These were great tips! It will be a great help as I'm tweaking my press release.

Thanks!

Wow, thanks! These are great tips for me since I'm only at the beginning stages of starting up my VA business. I've marketed for other companies I've worked for but this is my first forum ever so this type of help is wonderful and much appreciated.

Thanks, Shari.

Boy! As I move around in this site I never know what new "information adventure" awaits me around the next corner (thread). I feel like a kid with free reign of a candy shop running around in circles trying to decide what to eat first!!

This is wonderful. Thank you for sharing this information.

I agree this is great info! Reviews on Amazon - legitimate reviews of books you have read - is a great idea!! Think how many hits that site receives looking for a particular book!

I have seen a few other VA's with videos on their websites - I guess it's time to make mine! Watch out World!

Thanks for sharing the link!
