Join us for weekly video blogs on how to increase traffic to your business

Now that we have discussed how a Virtual Assistant can help your business, let focus on the good stuff!

Each we, we will post a new video blog on some aspect of generate business for your website or brick-and-mortar business.  In the coming weeks, expect video instruction on the following:

- how to get your logo in the url of your website (just like Google and Yahoo and Facebook)
- how to use tagging in Facebook to bring your message to hundreds of new potential customers (and no, this is NOT spamming!)
- how to use Twitter Search to find targeted customers
- how to use the "wonder wheel" to see where your potential customers are hanging out online

These are just the topics we are going to cover in the next few weeks.  Also, many of our suggestions talk about "keywords" and "keyword phrases".  Look for our first video to be an overview of how to find the keywords specific to your geographic area and industry-specific business.

To your business success!

Why is using a Virtual Assistant more cost effective than using a head-hunting agency to hire a new employee?

Virtual Assistants often have many years of experience in their respective areas of expertise.  As a business owner you don't need to spend your valuable time placing an ad, sorting through resumes, interviewing candidates, hiring and, finally, training your new employee.

VAs are usually home-based.  As a business owner, you don't need to worry about providing a desk, chair, computer, keyboard, mouse, software, software training, photocopier, fax machine, holidays, sick days, CPP, EI or health benefits.

VAs are there when you need them.  As a business owner, you don't need to have an employee hired on a regular basis.  You just email or call your VA when you need them.  You delegate the work and the VA does it - on an as-needed basis. 
VAs take the load off you.  As a business owner, you should be focusing on prospecting, developing products, delivering customer service and getting new clients.  The VA takes all of the mundane tasks such as sorting through email, typing correspondence, billing, and more off your hands.  No more worries about finding the time to do the tasks you hate to do!

The bottom line is that it is much more cost effective to hire a VA than to do the work yourself or to hire someone else on a full-time basis. 
At Virtual Business 911, you get the benefit of an entire team of professionals.  This week, you may need a typist.  Next week, you may need to translate part of your website into French.  Next month, you may need a presentation done.  In a couple of months, you may decide to start a social media campaign.  At year end, you may need a bookkeeper.  We can do it all!  No job is too big or too small.

You delegate it and we do it!

To your business success!

How can a Virtual Assistant help your business succeed and grow?

If you have a work overflow problem, or if your business has a specific task that needs to be completed, but you just don't have the staff available to complete the task, a Virtual Assistant can help.  Here are some examples of how a VA can help to alleviate the stress of too much work and too little time:

* Problem: A client needs to prepare a report or a presentation

* Solution: The client emails or faxes their notes or concept drawings to the VA who creates a professionally written and formatted report or a logically sequenced presentation complete with graphics and animations.  The VA emails the report or presentation to the client as an attachment.

* Problem: A client wants to provide a monthly newsletter to their own clients but does not have a writer or desktop publisher or graphic artist on staff.

* Solution: The client emails the VA with their concept ideas, the url of their website, a copy of their logo and any other information the VA would require and the VA researches the client's field of expertise, writes a professionally written monthly newsletter, which is placed into a professional, industry-related design.  The VA emails the completed newsletter to the client each month as an attachment.  Alternatively, the client can provide the VA with the list of recipients and the VA can also use a mail merge to either email, fax or mail the newsletters to the contact list.

These are just 2 of many options where a VA can be of assistance.  Visit http://www.virtualbusiness911.com/ or contact admin@VirtualBusiness911.com to see how our team of professional VAs can help your business succeed and grow.
