We see all kinds of products for stretch mark removal, in the physical realm, but what about the business realm? Did you know your business has stretch marks? Maybe this isnt’ a real pretty picture to paint, but it gets the point across.

Stretch marks show growth and if your business is growing there should be proof. What steps are you taking to insure that your business is growing?Think back to the first year in your business, you didn’t really have any task to outsource. You probably didn’t have a need for a bookkeeper or an accountant.Now think to your second year in business; you feel the “time crunch” on certain tasks, you can’t keep up with your own record keeping, you don’t have time to write your own articles anymore let alone submit those articles to all of the submission directories.

Now you’re into your third year of business, you find that you really need help and NOW! But where do go to find help? What do you begin to outsource?

Besides doing your basic internet research for “virtual assistant” or “virtual assistance”, why not ask fellow entrepreneurs and online business owners for their recommendations. You can visit virtual assistant forums and see what virtual assistants are frequenting the board.

Congratulations! You made it to: Day # 10 of a 10 day series entitled :

“10 Reasons to Market Your Business with Articles”

Outsourcing (delegating) a minimum of 5 hours of article marketing per month can benefit your business.  Perhaps if you have a better understanding behind the “why” you should be marketing your business with articles, then this task will never see the end of your to-do list again.

Day 10:  Recap Your Article Marketing “Why”

In the previous 9 days you’ve learned some very powerful “why’s” of article marketing and how it plays an important role in your business. So let’s recap what you’ve read:

1. You build relationships with potential clients you may not have otherwise met.
2. You use your article marketing to build trust wit h your readers.
3. You become known as the “expert” in your chosen field.
4. You generate publicity.
5. You gain pre-qualified website traffic.
6. You feed your “content hungry” target market.
7. You have the potential to be seen by thousands of people in your target market.
8. Article marketing allows you to pre-sell your products or services.
9. You market your business without having to meet face-to-face.
10. You reap the benefits of continual web traffic for years to come.

My hope was to inform and educate you, the professional business owner, on how powerful article marketing can be for your business. If you market your business on a consistent basis, perhaps as little as 5 hours per month, you should reap the benefits for years to come.

Day 9: Free Advertising Space?

Once your article is published by an article directory, it should be seen as a living piece. In other words, once a target client reads what you have to say, that person may copy it into their ezine or on their website for their readers to read, that equals to free advertising!

So basically, once you submit that article, its “out there” for all the world to see..over and over and over again! Take this one step further and let your readers know that they can use your article but they have to leave it “as is” and not change it in anyway (this info can go in your resource box.)

Oh, and if you are contacted by someone that has used one of your articles to educate their market, make sure to thank them! Virtual hand shakes can go far.

Day 8: Pre-Sell Your Services or Products

Article marketing allows you to pre-sell your products or services. You don’t even have to meet face-to-face in order to sell your business. By article marketing on a consistent basis, your message will be read by your potential clients. Those potential clients then follow the link in your resource box, come to your website and hopefully sign-up for your mailing list. Maybe they will also contact you for more information about your product or service and want to place an order. You never know who is going to pick-up your article!

“10 Reasons to Market Your Business with Articles”

Outsourcing (delegating) a minimum of 5 hours of article marketing per month can benefit your business.  Perhaps if you have a better understanding behind the “why” you should be marketing your business with articles, then this task will never see the end of your to-do list again.

Day 4: Get Me Exposed!

Once your article is published, it can easily be seen by thousands of people around the globe.  Make sure you include a “call to action” in your author bio area, at the end of each article. This “call to action” should specifically state that you want your potential client to visit your website.

Having your website visited by thousands? Now that’s exposure!

Being your own boss is freeing, but not when you have the mindset of thinking you have to control every business related task by yourself. Outsourcing or delegating, as little as 5 hours of business marketing per month, can free up your schedule and keep you on your path of success.

If you have found yourself stuck in a marketing rut, then its time to start delegating some of those business marketing tasks. Remember, being in business for yourself doesn’t mean you have to be in business BY yourself.

Please contact me today for your free 30 minute consultation.

Article marketing no longer needs to be seen as a tedious task! But first let me start with some basic reasons why entrepreneurs need to be marketing their business with articles.

Why Article Marketing?

• sets you up as the expert in your field
• brings potential clients and customers to your website (via your Bio)
• shares your expertise with your readers
• Brings in more search engine traffic

You also know that article marketing is a time consuming task for two reasons:

1. You have to type out our article
2. You have to submit your article to directories (preferably on a consistent basis)

Did you know there is an efficient , but still effective way to market your business with your own words WITHOUT having to type your article content yourself?

Here’s how:

1. You record your article content via mp3, podcast or video
2. You send me your recording
3. You specify if you want your recording to be formatted for a blog post, article or report
4. Once I view the audio, I will invoice you with total cost (no hidden fees)
5. Once your invoice is paid in full (via paypal.com) I will complete your project

That’s it! There’s nothing more to being a success internet marketer using your own article content. What are you waiting for, contact me at stephanie@ buckeyeva.com today so we can get started on your article marketing journey!

Virtual Internet Marketing Assistant for New Online Business Owners~

In last week I’ve learned a great (hard) lesson about owning and running a service-based virtual assistant business, which is……
learning to say “NO”!

Saying “no” to things like:

• tasks you don’t like to complete
• tasks you are just learning about
• tasks that take too much time for very little return

It doesn’t matter what type of business you own, you MUST set boundaries for yourself and the clients who you work with, by completing this “little” list of boundaries you will save yourself and your clients a headache and confusion.

God Bless!

Does your business send out ‘Welcome Letters’ to new forum members, clients or customers? If so, here are few important aspects to consider including:

• Invite your readers to connect with you on your social media accounts, such as: Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, Digg and Hub by placing your active links within the body of your email message
• This is a great time to introduce them to your affiliate program and give them the link to your affiliate page for more information
• If you have a virtual assistant handling the customer service emails, introduce her at this time and let them know she/he can handle any issues OR place the direct link to your helpdesk ticket system
• Now’s the time to let your new readers know if you are looking to interview or be interviewed or need a suggestion on a hot topic (make sure you give them credit if you use their suggestions!)

That’s it for now!
