VA Tips: Seeds & Placeholders

Even if you do some super awesome VA startup training (like the Stellar VA Training for example) you will never come out the other end with a business that is 100% ready to go, clear on the perfect ideal client, the right pricing, the right branding, with no more learning required.  What you SHOULD have is placeholders and seeds. Let's explore that further..

What Aussie Virtual Assistants Pay Themselves

This is interesting but also NOT GOOD! Recently Tracy Brockhoff did a survey to look at how VAs pay themselves and whether they were happy with their figures. Tracy kindly shared her numbers with me and I've written up this post to share some stats and thoughts with you. I'd love to know what you think. Where do you stand with this? How can we improve this situation?

Let’s talk about pricing!

Let's talk about money! When you set up your business one of the hardest aspects is working out the pricing. That whole damn money thing! I mean, how are you supposed to work this out when no-one wants to discuss money or share thoughts on how they worked out their pricing?

The unreported side effects of Covid19

It’s been well over a year since we first heard about this new and dangerous virus called Covid19. Over a year since we were told that it could kill us all. What they didn’t warn us, was that even if we never even meet someone who has had Covid, we will still end up feeling as though we have been hit by a truck, mentally and physically.

What can we learn from Virtual Assistants?

What a jam packed 2 days we had. It’s now been over a week since the inaugural VYVA Conference and I’m still uploading recordings from the sessions! Will this conference ever end? Perhaps not - but that’s not a bad thing. Because bringing rockstars from the VA Industry together is never a bad thing!

What can an Instagram (Social Media) Manager do for you?

I bet you’re thinking, what the heck is an online presence manager? And rightfully so. I may have made that up to cover a few roles in one! Think of an online presence manager as your digital communication expert combined with a social media manager.

What a Pinterest Strategist can do for your business

Before we begin, I want to clear up one major misconception. Pinterest is not a social media platform. Shocked? Many people are when I tell them. And it’s because it’s not a SM platform that many businesses overlook it as a powerful marketing tool. But it’s honestly one of the best ways to drive traffic to your website or blog.
