Virtual Assistant Forums

Hey guys! This is Caroline Mills again.

I'm just starting out ....getting my feet wet...doing some research and exploring this forum. I thought I'd go ahead and put together at least a blog so that people can kinda get to know me. Once I have a bit more experience in the industry I'll invest in a real website.

Let me know what you think. Keep in mind it's a rough draft!

LC - Please provide a link to the blog.

I will say that a website is a better choice than a blog if you want to promote your business. Actually the two work together so that the blog leads folks back to your 'storefront' or your website.

Thanks,
Janine

Oh my! I'm so embarrassed! The address is www.lcmillsvirtualassisting.bl ogspot.com. And, Janine, I completely agree a website is a must have for a virtual assistant. I'm just not quite ready for one yet though. But I will be in the near future, I'm sure. LOL! And I'll take your advice about using both the blog and a website. Good point. Thanks again!!

Caroline,

I noticed you updated your blog with some nice, useful articles which help to establish you as an expert! Nice job!

Now you can use those links when you prospect new clients so they can refer to your knowledge and acumen when determining what you can do for their businesses.

Best to you!

Janine

Thanks Janine! Thanks so much for showing me how to use my blog. I plan to try to post a new blog once a week. Or at least every other week. LOL!

Hey Janine! I just found this thread again and I thought I'd post my current blog address just to update the thread. Thanks so much! Hope you're doing well.

GREAT job, Caroline!

You did it! It looks fantastic.

I "liked" your last article.

Looks like you have a great blog going. People will find you
and see you are an expert in your field.

Thanks for the update.

Thank you, APlusAdmin! I really appreciate it. I'm sure you know...it's a work in progress.

Janine, If you hadn't brought it to my attention, I wouldn't put as much time as i do on my blog. I see now how it can be, essentially, a showcase of who you are and what you can do. So that's how I use it.

I've thanked you before and I'll do it again...thanks Janine!
