Some things you just don’t want to leave to chance and delivering a Webinar in front of a large group of people is one of them. As a Virtual Assistant I have been helping my clients over the past couple years in setting up and moderating their Webinars.  I have finally gotten around to creating [… Read More]

This is the fourth in my series on “How to use Camtasia Studio to record, edit and produce a Webinar”.  So many of my clients are now getting into doing Webinars that is seems a shame not to go ahead and record them and get them a little more exposure.  In my last blog post [… Read More]

I really thought I had job security in this field.  I thought if I just kept doing a great job for my clients I would never have to worry about being replaced.  Now I find out these animated 2nd life type creatures are coming to steal all my work. You’re going to LOVE this video [… Read More]

O.K. I wasn’t thrilled when he used the words “grunt work” to describe the copywriting work he outsources to VAs and other contractors. But, I did like the way Michael Fortin discusses the value we bring. He feels that you need to outsource and you need to be open to the new ideas and perspectives [… Read More]

Earlier I showed you a demo of how to help your client set up a domain name. That must, obviously, be done first before you set up Web hosting. I always recommend Hostgator because for 9.95/month you can host unlimited Websites. Now, I’m embarrassed to mention this, but a while back I did not realize [… Read More]
