Writing Your Newsletter.
If you write a newsletter, be it weekly, monthly or whatever, try to write in blocks. It can be hard to find a quiet time to sit and write but when you do, often you feel like you could write for hours. Do it when you feel inspired and then split the content over several newsletters.

The UK Association of Virtual Assistants attracts members who are generally women who run their own businesses from home, often with children of school age. If you supply a product or service to this demographic, would you like to partner with us to supply a free or discounted item that we can include as a ‘Membership Benefit’? If you are interested, please contact me directly at justine@ukava.co.uk
