What Are 3 Things a Virtual Assistant Can Do to Post Quality Content to the Web
I'm sure you have all heard me lament that I just don't have the time to write articles anymore. You see, as a virtual assistant, my clients are my priority. With working from dawn to late in the evenings, there just aren't extra minutes in the day for personal writing. I had to find 3 things I can do to post quality content to the Web and do it fast!
Share
Did you just read an article on the Web and really, really like it and you think your clients or colleagues might enjoy it? Share it through one of the popular bookmarking and sharing services that you can find on the Internet. There are some that you can get a share button to add to your popular Web browsers like Firefox, Internet Explorer, Google Chrome or Safari. Reading an article pertaining to your niche? Share it!
Talk it up in social media
Okay, so maybe you don't have a lot of time to write an article. But, if you can take five minutes out of your day, you can post to LinkedIn, Facebook, Twitter, or some of your other favorite social networking sites. Here are a couple of benefits for doing that:
1. Increase your brand image:
It stands to reason that the more you post, the more chances you will have of having your logo, photo, business, etc. visible in the eyes of the public. Seeing can lead to their talking YOU up (watch out; it can work in reverse also) and spreading their feedback.
2. Become more widely known as an expert in your field
If you continuously offer valuable input on Facebook Pages or to your social media in response to questions pertaining to your niche, the chances are very strong that they will look to you to solve their needs in the future. You will gradually be recognized as a go to person for help in solving issues.
Offer input in forums
In my opinion virtual assistants or anyone that has a niche that they write about should have at least one forum that they are a member of. Why? Here are just three benefits of becoming part of a niche forum:
• Sharing opportunities
After all, if you like horseback riding (yup, that's me), then you want to be able to talk with other people that have the same interests and get new content for writing blog posts or articles when you get more time.
• Brainstorming opportunities
If you have an idea, you can bounce that idea of another member or even all members of the forum and ask for advice on what the members think. It's a great way to receive, give, exchange, recommend (I'm sure there are more words I could think of to describe this if I thought about it, but let's go on.)
• Networking opportunities
The more people you know and like you and hear of your virtual assistant services, the more they will spread the word to their business associates. Who knows? You could gain some new clients yourself in the process as their business associates come to you for services you offer.
A virtual assistant has to be alert to new opportunities to take advantage of managing their time. There are several ways you can post quality content to the Web, even though you may not be actively writing articles or blog posting. Some of those methods can take as little as five minutes. Good luck!

Re: Is This The Answer For A Busy Entrepreneur??
- [quote="litekepr":396nnmxn]Have any people on the forum had experiences with virtual assistants?? Did it work for you?? If not, what kind of problems did you have?? Did you find a way to resolve these problems??

I tried to get a job as a virtual assistant - I would have loved to do it... - but the job fell through. I don't think my prospective employer realized how much it would have cost for me to be doing the work she wanted... and after a prelimary 10 hours just to see how it'd work, she figured it would be cheaper to do it all herself!
And I've got to agree!
Unless the "boss" is some big shot who thinks the Virtual Assistant is a status symbol and is willing to pay for it, most VAs won't last long....
Hello from Nova Scotia, Canada
- Hello all!
I'm a Virtual Assistant and just started my business this past summer. I specialize in freeing up time and saving money for my clients by taking care of the time consuming, yet necessary, tasks that keep them from working on the revenue generating aspect of the business. At present my clients are from one end of Canada to the other - Prince Edward Island, British Columbia and here in Nova Scotia. I do a variety of tasks for them; client contact management, newsletters, website and blog updating; social network support and maintenance, and admin support within the financial services industry to name a few.
I joined this forum because I feel it would be valuable to connect with those outside the VA world. I'm looking to get a different perspective on business from the varied entrepreneurs here and be able to give something back as well.
Looking forward to meeting everyone!
Re: Meta Tags
- [quote="ChrisH":tzc1bohg]I'm just curious what you all think -- -
How important do you think meta tags are? If the content is keyword optimized and they are being used correctly (as per Google's current instructions) how important are meta tags??
Chris[/quote:tzc1bohg]
Metatags were very important 10 years ago. Now, search engines are smarter...
There are 2 very important things on your page:
1/ Page title: make sure to place some keywords in your title (avoid title like "welcome to my website, great information resource". You are wasting prime keyword real estate.
2/ Content. Content. Content. Content. Content. Oh, did I mention content?? Your content as to mention your main keywords several times.
3/ <h> and <b> tags are very important too. They tell search engines you emphasize these keywords.
