Internet Marketing – What Do You Mean You Don’t Have A Web Site?
As we pointed out last month, we all know that in order to work virtually, we need to have an online presence, a web site. But it’s amazing how many virtual assistants don’t have one. There can be many reasons, or should I say excuses, including ‘a web site’s too expensive’, ‘I want to see if I get any interest before I spend a lot of money on a web site’, ’it’s too hard to get someone to update it’, ‘I don’t know anyone who can build me one’, ‘my brother/cousin/friend said they’d make me one, but they haven’t done it yet’, the list of reasons why a web site is missing from your armoury is endless. It’s also absurd when getting your web site up and running is as easy and inexpensive as this.
You need to have a web site to run a ‘virtual’ business; it’s as simple as that. And now it’s just a simple to build one yourself, quickly and inexpensively. We recommend Do Your Own Site as you can build your own web site, add your own images and text and be up and running in minutes. It’s simple and from £5 per month including hosting and a free .co.uk domain name what more could you ask for? Once built you can update your pages whenever you want to, and if you want to add additional features later on, such as a shopping cart or additional password protected pages for your clients, you can upgrade when and if you want to.
What is more, Do Your Own Site offers a thirty-day free trial so you can see what the package has to offer before spending a penny. Genius!

Recommended Reading to Start and Improve Your VA Business
Well autumn is here and winter is just around the corner and it’s the best time of year to take advantage of those long dark evenings and curl up with a good book. Now were not talking the latest thriller or Mills and Boon here, not that there’s anything wrong with either, we’re talking about quality information to get your Virtual Assistant business off the ground, or further along the road to success.
There’s nothing like a good read for inspiration and education so at the UK Association of Virtual Assistants we recommend several ebooks and standard published books to help you get your business off the ground or develop it in any area that you feel needs overhauling.
From our own published guide, ‘Setting Yourself Up As A Virtual Assistant’ (available here: http://www.ukava.co.uk/html/i_want_to_be_a_virtual_assista.html) to a whole host of recommended reads including my two favourites ‘Virtual Assistant - The Series: Become a Highly Successful, Sought After VA’ and ‘2 second Commute: Join the Exploding Ranks of Freelance Virtual Assistant’.
