Comments on: 2010 Goals for Your Virtual Assistant http://www.thevirtualasst.com/2010-blogging-social-media-and-increased-conversions Your Virtual Assistant: Providing Virtual Services to Small Business Owners Wed, 02 May 2012 06:15:00 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Michelle Mangen http://www.thevirtualasst.com/2010-blogging-social-media-and-increased-conversions/comment-page-1#comment-2898 Michelle Mangen Tue, 31 Aug 2010 21:27:22 +0000 http://www.thevirtualasst.com/?p=2160#comment-2898 Gail: Ironic you bring up the email addresses, filtering, etc. set up. I've been trying to figure out how to best handle those myself. I thought I had them all figured out until I recently got my Droid. Since I use gmail as my "filter" for my real business email address I ended up having all 1,000+ of them come through as contacts on my phone, which I didn't want because some are more or less for resource only (such as where to order flowers in Milwaukee). As far as your actual request - what you really need to know before you get busy...I've been chewing on something along those lines as blog posts for about a month now. I just haven't started writing. Anything in particular (aside from the email/contact organization) you mention above that you would like to see written? Gail:

There are things that bloggers, businesses and anyone getting active in Social Networking REALLY need to know BEFORE they get really busy. I am thinking this type of thing would be right up your alley as a Virtual Assistant. You could share what they need to do and how to do it and then those who don't have the time or desire could hire you to do these tasks for them. If you're interested I would LOVE to promote that kind of content far and wide - beginning with how to get your email filtering and folders and contact managers and task managers created and optimized. Believe me when I say you want to do this early on rather than after you are buried and really wish you had already done it! Hi Michelle,

Awesome & Congrats! Good list too! Don't worry about always getting everything done on the list, chances are that without the list you would not get as much done and then there are days when you will overachieve! best...........valentina .-= Valentina´s last blog ..<a href="http://www.blogincomelife.com/golden-nuggets-for-your-blog-income/">Golden Nuggets for Your Blog Income</a> =-.

Albeit a tad later than I normally publish them. Indeed when I move to FL I'll box up warmth and send it to you and you'll have a place to come and vacation!

More as a re-evaluation of what my annual goals are based on what has happened over the past year. I try not to get too "rigid" when I set my goals so I have the ability to flow with them. Of course, that doesn't mean that I allow things to just "fall off" because I don't tend to them. If something "falls off" my list it's because things have shifted and it's no longer a priority. I am a huge fan of Zig Ziglar - have you ever read his auto-biography? It is an amazing book - I always love to hear him refer to his wife as the "redhead". Whenever you are ready to be a guest blogger be sure to let me know. I would love to have you!
