Add Business Listing

Edit your business listing:

 

Click on Members Area (top nav area)

Click on “Business Listings Admin”

Using ‘Connections’ you can select ‘Add new entry’.

Make sure you only tick categories you offer or live in.

Make sure you select “public” and “organisation” in the settings on the top right.

On right hand side ensure you have selected “organisation” and “public” so your listing shows.

Click “update” after any changes.

 

Any time you see “you are not permitted to view this area” please contact me asap so I can reset the settings and ensure it’s all good to go. Hopefully soon you will only be able to see your own entries (the plugin creator is working on this as we speak) which will make it even easier.

Joining VYVA FAQs – please read before contacting us

So you are thinking about joining VYVA?

Here are some of our more FAQs!

 

Will I get jobs?

This is the most common question we get asked, and to be honest, it’s the one we really cannot answer. We will provide you with information about jobs which are posted to us via our site or via phone and after that, it is up to you to convince the potential client that you are the one for the job.

We generally have fairly regular jobleads (sometimes lots, sometimes none), but they are not always going to be matched to your skills, location or rates. And sometimes, when you speak to the client, you just won’t feel like you are a good match.

Other times the job sounds perfect for you, the client thinks you sound perfect for them, and you have a wonderful business match!

When this is the case, the client relationship is in your hands from then on – you need to ensure you have an agreement in place, any insurances you might need, an invoicing system etc, so that you can provide that service to that client.

While we are happy to help if you have any issues, at the end of the day, they are your client, not ours.

 

How do I get support from VYVA?

The VYVA forums are simply amazing. The wealth of knowledge, support, humour and honesty is absolutely incredible. This is a tool that money can’t buy and you get out of it what you put in.

Networking in business is vital, and in this industry, it’s vital that you also network with your peers. They will make you stronger, connect you with more businesses and be that shoulder you may need as you ride the roller coaster of business ownership!

The forums are run through Yahoo Groups and this means that once registered to the groups, you won’t need to log into Yahoo Groups as the emails will be sent directly to your chosen email address and you can send messages to the forum straight from your own email! Fantastic!

What else do I get?

Once registered and logged into this website, you will see a large navigation open up to you on the right hand side of this page.

This includes access to

  • Training opportunities and recordings
  • Articles about working from home and working with other VAs etc
  • Access to useful documents/files
  • Skill testing
  • And the VYVA Loves You! Section where we include some more fun tips and ideas.

You get lots of support from not only VYVA members, but from the VYVA Manager, Rosie Shilo, who is always happy to respond to your questions.

 

Is this just for new VAs? Or just for experienced VAs?

No this forum is for ALL VAs and all VAs will see the benefits of their membership.

Running a business can be very hard and with technology evolving as it does, you will always have questions, new things to learn, whether you are new or well established.

We also have a separate forum for new or struggling VAs to ask questions they might feel more embarrassed about (even though there is no need to feel embarrassed!) – this forum is the newbie cheer squad called VYVA Plus and that’s where you can really ask the base level business questions to get you off the ground.

Our workshops are run regularly and are aimed at all VAs. They have included sessions about business insurance, VOIP systems, using Dreamweaver, setting up businesses, writing resumes etc.

 

How much does it cost?

Membership is monthly and costs AU$15 per month payable via paypal subscription.

There are no other costs unless you want to take advantage of special training events or workshops, which cost anywhere from $10 to $400 each depending on what they are for.

VYVA Member Testimonials

Virtually Yours Virtual Assistant network is a great resource for a growing business. Rosie presents the team in a professional manner using great promotional items; the postcards, folders and member webpages are great (I get a number of hits a week from my VYVA page to my business site!) Job leads are genuine leads and well educated about virtual assistants. Member forums have been really useful in sharing knowledge and technologies and when I’ve needed specific urgent or technical help Rosie offered personalised technical support in such a friendly way. The network has been a great advantage to my business.
Katie Allen

My membership with Virtually Yours has provided me and my business with opportunities and support and is expertly operated by Rosie Murphy. A membership worth having!

Melinda Dunlop

I have only been a member of this group for a few weeks and haven’t been participating much, but I must say that Rosie you are fabulous. You just keep giving and giving and giving, and I’m really glad I joined this group. As a few have said, VYVA Rocks and so do you. I also find everyone on this group very supportive and eager to help out where they can which is fantastic.
Maria Zito

Just wanted to say a massive Thank You for all the hard work and effort you put into the network and supporting us VAs.  You are an amazing woman, you just keep on giving and giving, and I for one know I wouldn’t be as positive about my business if it wasn’t for you and VYVA.
Paula Wynyard

I just wanted to let you know how very much I appreciate you and the VYVA Network. You have developed an amazing network with such an awesome group of people. I’m always overwhelmed by the generosity and support of the team when I need some assistance. VYVA is always the first place I come to when I need support – I belong to a few different networks but by far this one feels like home.
