Professional Web Design & Social Media Business Services for Local & Worldwide Authors, Coaches & Heart-Based Entrepreneurs

I was reading in todays WebProWorld newsletter about Blogs vs Forums and they indicate that after 7 years and 13,000 posts that built this forum, many of his pages are in the sandbox… Pointing out that by doing a simple post on their niche market using a WordPress blog found them virtually instant recognition on the first page of SERP’s. Does it make sense now on how to get more traffic to your website?   If you don’t quite get it, that’s ok… this is where a skilled virtual assistant can help you.

I’ve been trying to get across to my clients how important blogging is. Thank goodness some do get it and are willing to do what it takes to keep a blog active. Some do not get it and want to complain about no traffic. All I can say is to get more traffic to your website, blogging can help. You have to invest the time to help create natural traffic.

Blogging consists of different pieces. Keywords are very important and the main ones should be placed in certain areas of your article where the search engines tend to read them. With these keywords, be sure to add them to your keyword area in WordPress, called “Tags”… I’ve seen time and time again where that tag will pull an article to the front page of a search engine.

You might think that you are done by just posting an article… Well, you are not quite done yet. You need to do social bookmarking and that takes time too. Third step which some do is article submission. All these together create a win – win solution.

We help our clients post, bookmark and do article submission so they can focus on what they need to do and leave the techie things to us.  This way they find their way into the search engines, as the goal is traffic and whether you advertise doing PPC or getting listed in natural listings, for your business to be successful online or offline, you need traffic.

We have an eBook and video tutorials on posting articles and social bookmarking for our clients in helping them be successful after their WordPress blog is built.

Remember having focused intention and then taking action to create what you desire is so important. Then continuing by posting once to twice a week keeps your blog active and in the search engines.

Don’t give up… You do not get anywhere from giving up. Be sure to do your research on your niche market, be sure to use the right keywords.

Until next time…

To Your Success!

People ask me “How & Why Did You Start Your Home-Based Business Virtual Assistant Services?” What qualifications or education did you have to offer “virtual assistance” to your clients?

I answer years of experience, dedication to helping clients, self-motivation, vision & action… These all come in to play in any business that you undertake.

Years ago they didn’t have a great name like Virtual Assistant… Virtual Secretary didn’t quite describe what I did, because the virtual assistant services I offer go beyond being a virtual secretary.

Entrepreneurial Spirit is the beginning…

Bringing me back to thinking how it all started… Being an entrepreneur and working from home has always been in my blood. I remember in 1975 doing Tupperware home parties and working as a home typist on an IBM Selectric transcribing deposition transcripts… which led me into being a Legal Secretary on & off for 20+ years, working for accountants for 5 years, bookkeeping from home, installing and training people on accounting software and learning my first computer at Lockheed where I did data entry for the L-1011 Electrical Wiring System.

I always liked the flexibility of working at home and in 1999 I started on eBay selling products, learned how to design my own website and for the next 6 years I owned retail businesses on the internet and helped design friends’ websites and taught them about PPC on Google & Yahoo.

Enjoying the creativity of designing and always having the technical gene, loving to learn new programs, my client base started to grow and I sold my online retail business in 2006 and continued with my Virtual Assistant Service Business.

The qualifications and education have been lifelong and they are still going on as I’ve seen the internet change and what used to work does not work anymore. You have to do more with Blogging, Social Networking, Social Bookmarking, YouTube Videos, Article Submission, Forums…

You have to standout among your industry!

Bob & I work together on building sales pages, opt-in pages, upsell pages along with marketing campaigns.

To be in business for yourself takes some risk, dedication and not giving up if something does not go right! Focus & Action and the ability to shift gears and see the bigger picture, taking one step at a time. Knowing what your soul purpose is and going for it!

To Your Success!
