Homeschoolers Work At Home Virtually

Did you know that the greeting card industry is a 7.5 billion dollar per year business in the United States alone (it is also estimated that American families purchase an average of 35 greeting cards each year and 80% of these purchases are made by women)? That’s an awful lot of purchasing going on!

That just goes to show that if you have ever wondered if you could have your own business selling greeting cards there’s definitely room for you. It’s a matter of finding a specific target market or niche to sell to and answering a few questions about yourself like:

• Do you enjoy bringing a smile to someone’s face? (more…)

Ghostwriting Success Smaller

On Friday we discussed how many businesses turn to PLR to help provide content for their blogs. And regardless of where you stand on to PLR or not to PLR, the need for behind the scene writers, also known as ghostwriters, is huge. Content is king and the thought of having to add fresh content on a regular basis to a website, a blog, article directories, etc sends some people running for cover.

That’s where you come in. If you have a love for writing, a knack for words and don’t mind hanging out behind the scenes and letting someone else take credit for you hard work ghostwriting is a perfect avenue for you to take. (more…)

The art of doing business on the Internet has come a long way. Businesses large and small are doing more online, they are demanding more useful, exciting websites. There’s simply a lot more riding on today’s business websites than a collection of text and images. With that comes the increasing need for technically savvy help to manage it all and a smart, forward thinking VA should be sharpening her skills and offering services like these: (more…)

Kelly McCausey is a professional blogger and trainer. You can easily find her teaching and blogging at Moms Talk Biz.  She’s written an article that demonstrates that blogging can be a springboard into many other profitable niches.  Well, enough of my chatter, let’s listen to an expert.

If you have been online for any length of time you’ve been exposed to a blog in one way or another. In fact you’re probably using one yourself and understand the importance of a small business utilizing a blog for several reasons such as increasing traffic, building a relationship with your readers, etc.

Not all people are as fortunate as those of us that know the importance of blogging. Speaking on a local level if you’ve ever had a conversation with a small business owner who has a brick and mortar business you have probably come to the conclusion that some of them don’t even know what a blog is!

That’s where a Virtual Assistant who loves WordPress, has a creative side and doesn’t mind working mostly behind the scenes can utilize their services by becoming a blog consultant. Then you can start evangelizing to small business owners in your local community not only the importance of blogging but the truth – blogging is smart for business.

So exactly what is a blog consultant?

It’s someone passionate about blogging. They love blogging in general but more importantly they understand the importance of blogging for small business owners and want to share that understanding with small business owners especially on the local level.

So if you’re that VA mentioned above and are passionate about blogging and want to share that passion with others then be sure to check out Become A Blog Consultant. If you’re not a VA that’s ok too, this course was created for anyone who has a passion for blogging and wants to share it with local small business owners.

Be sure to visit our site where you can watch a quick two minute video and see a real life client example and sign up for a 16 minute audio that will help you decide if this is for you.

When I was away on that homeschooling/business retreat in Destin, FL I met many aspiring virtual assistants including my new best friend Mimi of Your Virtual Services. We were roommates and talked a lot (I’m sure you can tell I’m the quiet type — not!) and during one of our marathon conversations Mimi told me about an interesting VA niche called “Virtual Event Specialist.”
