Overwhelmed By Success? Learn To Outsource
June 29, 2008
As a virtual assistant for online physical product sellers I see a reoccuring question:
”Do I really need to outsource?” The only way I can answer this is by asking you a few questions.
1. Have you seen a growth in your business?
2. Do you feel you are stuck-in-a-rut?
3. Are you so consumed with fulfilling orders that you don’t have time to restock your online photos, grow your social network or get publicity?
If you answered “yes” to any of these questions, then you need to learn “how” to outsource and “what” to outsource.

Free Publicity? How?
April 24, 2008
Yesterday we learned that publicity is getting the public to learn about what you are selling and what benefits they will get from your purchasing your product. Now lets talk about:
”How To Get Free Publicity”
*Submit press releases
* Write articles for your niche market offering your expertise
* Blog your knowledge
* Request to be interviewed on your favorite podcasts
* Setup your own social networking profiles
*Create your own YouTube videos!
*Outsource the above list to a virtual assistant
As a small business owner it’s your responsibility to communicate the potiental benefits your prospective customer or client will receive when they purchase your product and/or service, you must take the time to educate then, don’t just assume they already know how great your service or product is.

Free Publicity? What?
April 23, 2008
As a virtual assistant for small online businesses there is one thing that is the same for every business owner and that is “You need customers”! In order to get customers you have to get your website “seen” by these prospective customers and that is called “publicity”
Let’s start with “what exactly is publicity?”
According to dictionary.com publicity is:
| 1. | extensive mention in the news media or by word of mouth or other means of communication. |
| 2. | public notice so gained. |
| 3. | the measures, process, or business of securing public notice. |
| 4. | information, articles, or advertisements issued to secure public notice or attention. |
| 5. | the state of being public, or open to general observation or knowledge. |
Now that you know what publicity is, come back tomorrow to learn some specific ways to get publicity for your small business.
Polite comments are welcome!
