June 23, 2009
A couple weeks ago, I had the pleasure of attending the live event put on by Craig Cannings (VAClassroom.com)and Leesa Barnes (Marketingfit.com)titled,
“Five Social Media Tasks to Outsource (And still be authentic)”
They discussed these five specific tasks that businesses should outsource to a virtual professional:
Social Media Strategy
Social Media System
Social Media Submission
Social Media Technology
Social Media Tracking & Evaluation
These are five hot areas that many business are delegating to Virtual Professionals right now.
Here is a MP3 recording of this 75 minute event that breaks down the specific tasks you can provide for your new and existing clients.

Top 5 Reasons Why Your VA Should Be Contracted On A Retainer.
April 6, 2009
Do you have a VA? Are you a client who works with your VA on a month-to-month basis wondering at the beginning of that month whether or not they are going to have time for you? Have you experienced the disappointment that your VA couldn’t allocate more time to your project because they were already too busy? Scrambling to get your project in before someone else does?
Alleviating these monthly headaches can be easily remedied with a retainer. A virtual assistant retainer is commonly designed as a “package of hours” that is prepaid at the beginning of the month with a discount in the fee. Retainer packages are unique to the virtual assistant. There are several reasons why it is better to utilize a retainer but here are the top 5 reasons:
1. Guarantee your VA’s time.
When you purchase your retainer at the beginning of the month you are guaranteeing your VA’s time in advance. No more wondering if your latest venture will fly or falter because you will have the assistance that you require to do so.
2. Cost efficient.
A discount is applied as part of the retainer package. The more the hours purchased the larger the discount.
3. Optimize your time.
Knowing in advance that you have the undivided attention and dedication to your projects is a great strategy to streamlining the process to complete it; not to mention the time it will free up to focus your attention on more important issues.
4. Stress buster.
No more stress added to an already busy workday! You can relax and take a big breath because you know that your VA is ready and scheduled to perform the tasks they were contracted to do.
5. Budget friendly.
It’s always much easier to budget and allocate funds when you know what your bill is going to be.
So stop running your business month-to-month and contact your VA today to find out more about a retainer package. It’s just better busines sense.
The New E-Works Office Services Blogsite
March 22, 2009
Hello and Welcome to my new site!
I’m really excited to have launched my new blogsite and to have a brand new look! I’m fairly new to blogging and I’m not sure where to begin exactly but perhaps I’ll start with why I made a new site.
I recently completed the Social Media Marketing Specialist certification at VAClassroom and realized that my site was static and not doing a thing for me or E-Works Office Services. Blogs are highly indexed by Google therefore bringing more attention to your site. Having a blog is also a great resource to connect with people. They are also much more powerful not to mention flexible than traditional websites. Updating blogs is far quicker and easier too.
While I’m still gaining experience with my new blogsite I learned a lot about the process of switching to a blog, hosts and domains. Stay tuned for the next post where I’ll share my experience with you.
