Twitter Tips for Virtual Assistants

Posted 12-14-2008 at 02:13 AM by JKVirtualOffice

So I just created a thread HERE in the Social Networking area with some links to different Twitter resources to help you get started with using Twitter and with getting familiar with how Twittering works. But I thought I would use the wonderful new blog feature to write some more specifics about how Virtual Assistants can use Twitter not only for their own marketing and networking purposes, but as members of the larger Virtual Assistant industry.

I've only been using twitter for a couple of months and I will freely admit that I'm thoroughly addicted. When I get up in the morning, I check my email first and then moments later, I log into twitter. All this usually happens before I've had coffee or breakfast...(and embarrassingly...

Menu Updates = Easier Navigation!

Posted 12-14-2008 at 12:02 AM by VAF Admin

We were looking at the site menu recently and it dawned on us that not only were there so FEW of the great features here on VAF appropriately linked up in the menu, but there wasn't a *single* pixel of space left for all the great new features and pages we have planned for 2009. So we did a little remodeling

Please take a moment to check out the new (and we hope, improved) VAF main menu - there are now drop downs to help you more easily find and use the many key features here at Virtual Assistant Forums.

Are You An Entrepreneur?

Posted 12-13-2008 at 11:50 PM by Virtual Horizons

I recently came across an excellent article from fellow VA, Angie Green, which describes the concept that an entrepreneur satisfies needs we do not even know we have. To have it put into words what exactly an entrepreneur should be/do has inspired me to change some wrong thinking on my part. You see, I am guilty of colouring within the lines and staying within my comfort zone when it comes to any kind of marketing. That means that when opportunities to speak up have occurred (and they have) that I usually freeze and get the ‘caught in the headlights’ look. I’m also a forum lurker so I haven’t participated in many discussions which have been proven to be beneficial in both creating a support system and increasing your online presence. Has this...

Christmas Ideas-

Posted 12-13-2008 at 03:33 PM by Virtually Assisting You

Ok. So, I'm a procrastinator, and I must say I work very well under those conditions, usually. Christmas is almost here and I've barely started my shopping. Although, I love this time of year and being with my family, trying to decide on the perfect present can be quite stressful.

I set my boys down this morning and told them to make Santa and I a list. They had neither one asked for much, just this and that here and there. And, here is the reponse we got - Tucker (8) Wii, laptop & remote control motorcycle. Heston (6) trucks, semi -trucks and some box trailers, gooseneck flatbed trailers, remote control honk honk (semi truck). Tell me just how in the world that is going to work. The oldest one is wanting about $1000.00...

Announcing the Virtual Assistant Directory at Virtual Assistant Forums...

Announcing the Virtual Assistant Directory at Virtual Assistant Forums, Where Even the Listings Are Multitasking

Virtual Assistant Forums answers the need for a more comprehensive virtual assistance industry directory.

The Virtual Assistance Industry is booming, but the lack of a comprehensive industry directory of virtual service providers has left many potential clients scratching their heads over just how to locate a professional Virtual Assistant, and many VAs questioning the value of listing their sites in directories in the first place. In search of the perfect VA, these potential clients soldier on, patiently wading through a hodge podge of hit-or-miss keyword search results, poorly structured or...
