Early in 2010, I am launching a web-based training solution for up-and-coming and evolving Virtual Assistants. I have conducted a lot of research online and looked at everything that is currently available to new start up VA’s and I decided to go a different route, which is entirely distinct from any other training programs or courses aimed at virtual assistants; I am offering five FREE memberships to really help to launch this programme. If you want to know how, and what you need to do to get a FREE membership (worth $1997), you can skip to the end, but I recommend you read what I have to say

So what’s different about my programme compared to other VA courses?

1. It’s Not Sugar-Coated

I am a straight shooter here and will tell you exactly like I see it, using the full benefit of my honest approach and gained experience.

2. Resources and Support Team

I have built my existing business with a lot of good resources behind it and you will have access to this and my team to help you get going really FAST! You can, of course, choose to make entirely your own arrangements when it comes to technical development and creative, but I just wanted to know that I’m not setting this all up for you and then leaving you in the dark when it comes to the support that you might need to get it all done. I don’t expect you to learn anything new or technical in order to start your business.

3. Quality, Not Quantity

This is designed to be user-friendly and we have incorporated a very intuitive interface, with a step-by-step guide which is not overly complicated. I’m not incorporating a lot of “padding,” which would just overwhelm you. You won’t find a lot of that free junk and all those bonus offers that are supposed to make a course much more “valuable,” that is a sales tactic that I don’t like and you won’t see it here. There is nothing more valuable to you right now than the experience and expertise which I am going to pass on and my very carefully (cherry-picked) selected resources and tools (Yes, of course there are bonuses – but only freakin’ awesome ones which are essential to your business development and self-improvement) which I will provide in the members area. Remember, it’s all about quality and not quantity.

The objective is to get you into business and making money as soon as we can, so we don’t want too much information in there that is going to really slowly you and hold you back.

4. I Am Not Your Average VA

Since the time I started my business I have experienced not only what it has been like to start a VA business from scratch, but also while travelling, experiencing different things, running my business in sometimes difficult and challenging situations, and discovering ways in which to limit my tax liability, plus giving birth twice along the way, I have faced a variety of problems since setting off on this journey and I have always found ways (sometimes very creative and unique) to overcome them all. I don’t consider myself to be an average Virtual Assistant, not by a long shot.

5. It’s Not Bland or Boring

Do you get passionate about anything? Music, Sport, Religion – anything?

Then you know that when you have a passion and a love for something, no matter what it is, there is never anything bland or mundane about it – certainly not for you anyway. For me, this is my passion and I have been lucky enough to turn it into a business and a way to make a living. It’s very exciting to be able to make money at what you really enjoy doing. So this isn’t just a job for me, and this isn’t just a way of me trying to earn a few extra quid on the back of my VA business. So, ask yourself if you really want to do this, how enthusiastic you really are and if you want to be a virtual assistant and translate your love for whatever it is into a business that makes profits, where your daily life has some spice to it; jump on board and I will do anything it takes to help you get to where you want to be.

There are no frills to this, it’s just a focused journey, where I will help you to make your VA business a total success. So whether you’re looking to become a virtual assistant now, looking to become a virtual assistant in the future, or you’ve already become a virtual assistant, please come by for a visit to meet up with like-minded individuals – and you never know, you could win a chance at changing your business and lifestyle, forever!

There you have five reasons why my program is going to be a lot different to anything else out there and if you trust me to guide you here, then I want you to get one of my five FREE launch time memberships, to help you.

So tell me about the FREE membership?

All I would like you to do is leave in a comment below as to why you would like to join my Virtual Assistant Training Programme (I will send you the FREE eBook offered below if you choose this method). You can always send me a private e-mail as well, at info@virtualassistant-live.com.

In today’s world, many of what people need can be found in the Internet. Whether it can be said that this is a good thing or bad, is not up to me. What I can say about the fact though is that when you run an online business, it is not merely something that should be considered a gimmick. The only problem with an online business though is how to keep your customers. This is where front end marketing shines.

What is front end marketing? Well, basically it is where you offer something to your customers that would hep them keep coming back to you. Whether it is a free introductory gift, or if you can’t afford giving stuff out, it’s something cheap that you profit very little from, or just break even. Why? Because customers will appreciate that fact and will keep coming back to you because of that gesture of good will you do to them. It’s like training them that, hey, you are a great guy to deal with, who will give out free or cheap stuff if you can afford it. Or something to that effect.

I learned all about front end marketing from the well known Internet marketing guru, Jim Fleck, who has a whole lot to say about front end marketing and how to use it effectively. In an interview I read, he talks about the cost of acquisition. Basically it expands upon the idea of the phrase “it takes money to make money.” Implying that to be able to lure customers, you don’t just sit and wait, you must act and do something, even if costs a few bucks.

Here’s a good example about front end marketing at its best. I run a mobile photography studio, and though it is not related to Internet marketing, please bear with me. Besides, I am currently finding a way how to integrate this idea to my Internet businesses. Anyway, what I do is I offer free portraits. Out of my own pocket, I take photos and give them a print of it. That’s the front end marketing part. What I do next is, while shooting, I take about 10 photos then choose the 5 best and print them all out. By the time the clients come back to get their free print, they see the other prints and ask how much if they buy it. See where this is heading? What happens is that I spend for one free portrait so that the clients have a chance to buy more from me.

In Internet marketing, front end marketing is key if you want to achieve success. A lot of people visit a site to check prices then leave after a few minutes, seconds even. But if you have something to pique their interest, whether it is a free gift or a special deal, the chances of them staying is higher. And this in turn translates to them coming back for more. In my photography business, I get clients I don’t normally get. In the extremely competitive niche of photography, I had to offer something others don’t to help set me apart from the competition. Do the same in your business online, and you will soon see success.

Among the main misconceptions about making money with affiliate programs is the fact that you can not combine them with pay per click programs like Google Adsense, or with free flash templates. The truth is that the Google conditions of service enable you to make money both ways and most affiliate programs do not merely care what you are doing as long as you send interested buyers to their web sites.

Are you currently a webmaster who wants money to help keep your web site running? Or is your web site the only way for you to acquire income? Whichever you are, for as long as you are a webmaster or perhaps a net publisher and you need dollars, affiliate advertising may possibly work well for you.

Why Affiliate Advertising?

Well, merely because affiliate advertising is in fact the easiest and most likely the nicest means to acquire earnings on the internet, unless otherwise you might be a businessman and would rather sell your personal goods on the internet than promote other goods on your site.

Affiliate advertising, merely stated, is really a relationship or agreement created among two sites, with 1 site being the merchants web site as well as the other being the affiliates site. Within the relationship, the affiliate agrees to let the vendor advertise his goods at the affiliate’s site. The vendor, but then, would agree to pay the affiliate in whatever method they’ve agreed into. This would generally mean effortless income for the affiliate, as he would do absolutely nothing but place the retailer’s ad on his site.

You will find a range of procedures on how the vendor would compensate the affiliate for his services, and for your webmaster, these procedures merely translates towards the method by which he would generate effortless cash. Between the a lot more typical procedures of compensation are the pay per click method, the pay-per-lead method, as well as the pay-per-sale method. The ppc method could be the method most admired by affiliates, for their web site’s visitor would just have to visit the advertisers site for them to acquire money.

So, where do all of these direct us to?

Where else but to money, money and even a lot more money! Affiliate advertising programs as well as the Google Adsense program merely work, whether you are the vendor or the affiliate. In case of the merchant’s side, a lot of cash can be saved if marketing task is concentrated on affiliate advertising as opposed on dealing with marketing firms.

If you feel like starting a blog but you only want a blog as a supplement to your site, here are some tips

1. Choose a Blogging Platform

You can try most of the blogging platforms around without purchasing hosting yet. Do this if you are still attempting to find out what a blog is and how you can maintain it. Set up several small websites on Blogger and on Typepad. After this, you can go for wordpress.org and wordpress.com. After trying out all of the major blogging platforms, ask yourself if blogging is for you.

2. Get a Good Webhost and Domain Name

If you think you enjoy blogging and you could sustain it for a long time, it’s time for the next step. Some people realize that a blog is better rather than the current html design of a traditional website. If you get hosting, there are things you can do on your site that you can’t do on the free hosted blog sites. There are some blog platforms that prohibit the posting of advertisements.

A hosting plan will also give you more breathing room in terms of space for your themes or blog skins. Space and bandwidth are particularly important for internet marketers. If you’re a video blogger, space is extremely important. Getting hosted will also allow you to be more creative. Your new blog could also use a unique domain name to identify it from all the other websites on the web.

3. Blog and Socializing Online

Allowing users to comment on your weblog posts can increase your popularity tremendously. People react to posts because they want to offer feedback on your ideas and add their own. By making it possible for customers to post remarks publicly, and answering comments publicly, you can encourage people to interact with you more. Replying to these comments and communicating with the commenters or just saying thanks shows you care for the people who read your blog

For reasons that elude me now, I kept kind of a diary during my first full year of working at a home based business. It was nothing near to being a total daily diary, but was more of a collection of scribbles about things that I felt were worthy of note at the time. Since rather a lot of time has passed since that time, i decided to revisit these notes.

In no particular order, these are some of the things that I had made note of.

Choosing the path…in the start, my fervour for my home wealth system was extremely high ( maybe too high? ) and I was chasing off on several different work-at-home business opportunities at the same time ( exhibiting the ‘dog in a beef market” syndrome, I suppose ) and not focusing my efforts enough to be successful at any single one of them. I finally reigned myself in and concentrated on a single work at home business opportunity.

In other notes I find reference to emotional and / or psychological issues that I experienced and are doubtless everyday for most people when beginning a home business. When homeworking an individual can, on occasion experience a feeling of isolation which is perhaps brought on by the absence of interaction of a work force environment.

There were also periods of doubt in the early going…did I pick the best home based business idea?..am I doing the proper things to develop my business?..when will I start making a profit?, and such like.

Plenty of the entries in my so-called diary had to do with the hackneyed ‘two steps forward and one step backward” thing and the ever-looming enticement to become daunted. Although I did not appreciate it at the time, it is now obvious that so long as you’ve more steps forward than backward you will ultimately get ahead! Isn’t hindsight glorious?

Other entries reflect the incontrovertible fact that comparatively minor events can appear huge in the initial stages of developing a work from home business and can truly make a contribution to an emotional roller coaster ride. For instance, if you’re only starting and you have 2 clients / clients and you lose one…that’s a 50% drop! However , if you fast-forward in time to the point where you have hundreds of buyers / clients and you lose one…that’s simply a mere fragment of one percent! Same event, just at a different time.

Looking back on it now, some of the stuff I recorded now appears funny, but I’m fairly confident that was not right at the time I made the notations.

Car Wraps have formed the latest craze which has hit the auto lovers all over the globe. But, for a larger section of the society, a car purchase is quite a expensive investment in itself. As a effect, further investment on it is likely to be avoided. Why spend a $1000 on a spray job of a car, which will get replaced by a completely new car within a time of a few years? But, quite ignoring the fact of higher cost, individuals belonging to different sections of the society are personalizing their auto as well as the desire in individuals for the exact has been noticed to be increasing at a steady rate.

If you are bored to death, driving your exact old car for years as well as a completely new paint does not seem to do the magic, as well as you are also not in want of a completely new car, there are ample possibilities to make your ride, the way to desire. Go for funky, cool car wraps to make your ride as well as drive interesting. At present, it is the perfect way of acquiring noticed on the road.

Each one of these is a potential client. I am going to take a really unlikely topic for Virtual Assistance — Surfing. (The outdoor variety, not the web version.) So in this case we would look at everything that is profitable from the surfing industry.

* Surf Shops

* Surf Tournaments

* Surfing Instructors

* Surfing Equipment

* Schools for Surfing

* Videos about Surfing

* Surfing Magazines

* Surfing Professionals

* And so on…

B – Find the “PROBLEMS” within the business.

When you have compiled a list of potential moneymaking segments within your passion, you need to look on the web for the particular issues that organisations and individuals face; as an example…

* An ambitious local surfing establishment is keen to sell products on the web, but doesn’t know where to start.

* The surf tournaments are running July to August — they need assistance with organising the events and contestants.

* Due to the amount of paperwork to be completed, Surfing Instructors find that they do not have enough time to take on additional students.

* Surfing equipment makers are looking for more outlets and they also need to spread the word more by engaging with social media.

* Surfing Schools understand how important it is to have an online presence, but they don’t know how.

* It would be great if a Surfing magazine could publish an online edition, but they don’t have any digital publishing knowledge.

* An up-coming surfing pro wants to be discovered, and needs video’s putting up on You Tube.

Go to blogs and forums to keep in touch with what’s happening in the real world. If you look carefully, you will be able to reveal things that are causing people problems according to the type of question that they tend to ask, what they write about and who they are looking for to help them with their issues. Remember that no business niche is perfect and there are always weak spots to be filled within every industry. When you discover this, you will be able to convert your passion into a virtual assistant business.

C — Create Your “PITCH”.

If you have found some businesses online, contact the businesses and people via email or phone, letting them know who you are. Get in there somewhere that you specialise in Selling Surfing Products Online, or Creating A Social Media Presence for Surfing Professionals – say something which is pertinent to them, and be very clear that you understand the types of issues they may be facing and how you are able to solve them (I am guessing you do because most people who are passionate about anything will already know a great deal about it – if you are stuck, then you are not pursuing a true passion).

Make sure that you go to forums and engage there, as well as commenting on blogs. In short, hang around everywhere that a potential customer from the list that you compiled above may be.

It doesn’t really matter what your passion is, somebody from within that business will need a virtual assistant, but they are just not aware of it at this point. Use this to your advantage to be the first to present a solution to their problem, and show them how you can enhance their business based on your expertise on what you are passionate about. Find out what they want – and deliver!
