PLR article & web site editing

Sunday, May 16th, 2010

Not having any writing skills to brag about and not being at ALL talented with art or graphics skills, I am a huge fan of PLR, or Private Label Rights products. I am also a digital *junkie* so do admit to purchasing every interesting or useful ebook, article pack or instant biz type item I can find.

Luckily, with PLR products, we are allowed to edit them as we see fit. We can change the names, web site info, resell at any price we choose and most importantly, to ME, a proofreader, can fix the often few but sometimes MANY typos and run ons and other annoying mistakes.

I had been searching my last few months worth of downloads, knowing I had purchased a book on copy writing but having forgotten its NAME, having quite a time of finding it! I am usually very organized, but for some reason lately have been remiss in filing all downloads in my handy categories for easy use.

Well, great news, last night I found it! It is a really informational and interesting ebook of an interview with Alex Mandossian, done by Louis Allport, titled 10 Steps To Killer Web Copy.

Over the past twelve years, Alex has made his clients and himself over $184 million in sales. Yes, you read that right!

He’s the marketing consultant many internet experts consult with.

The book is exceptional BUT I have to be honest here, the mini-site salespage was coded to where it was all one LONG line, instead of the usual from top to bottom format, AND half of the words IN the salespage were all run together with no spaces. I am not sure if this was an accident and a proofreader / editor was needed or if it was done to make the reseller “work”, but it took me almost two hours to edit the salespage and get it ready to use.

This is just one of the many services your Virtual Assistant can perform for you. And, if you purchase the above product, I will edit YOUR salespage, except for your name and website info and payment information, for FREE.

Remember, I am a Virtual Assistant who LOVES to do editing,
proofreading and transcription assignments!

Social Media Virtual Assistance

I love to network and use social media but there are some sides of doing so that, for me, are more WORK than they are enjoyment. Most of the avid social networkers I come across agree.

I have a couple of clients that I assist with the “chores” facet of their networking so that they can concentrate on the FUN sides, and I know I would love to someday have a helper to do my “busy work” for me as well.

I love to do my own searches for new people to connect and interact with but a lot of the people I am in contact with do not like this stage of the game. To me, the biggest chore is weeding through new connection requests to make sure the person is someone I would want to be associated with, have something in common with or at least has something interesting to discuss now and then.

I have helped others set up their social media personas, find like-minded people for them to connect and interact with, written or at least edited their profile descriptions and weeded through their new connection requests.

I have both a personal Facebook presence and a professional or business one. Some people tend to “friend” every person that asks so that they have a huge friend list. This is probably fine for personal social gossiping, sharing fun stuff, etc. but for my business, I feel that I need to concentrate on people who are my peers or in an industry compatible with mine or that might someday either need my services or at least know someone some day who does.

I also have an account on Linkedin for the sole purpose of connecting with other business people and getting and sharing tips, advice and resources with my peers.

My most fun, and most USED social media platform is Twitter. I am quite active on twitter and have some really interactive connections there. I have also made some real friendships from being on Twitter AND have gotten the bulk of my clients and referrals from my connections with this great platform.

If you love social networking but want to concentrate on the fun, interactive and connecting side and need someone else to manage and perform your maintenance for you, please keep me in mind.

I can set up your account for you, search for people in YOUR designated criteria, weed through your connection requests for the people you DO want to be involved with, send them a personal hello and welcome so that you do not have to use an autoresponder or even send them NO hello and welcome message and pretty much anything else to make your social networking experience a more fun and/or rewarding one.

Article writer or re-writer Virtual Assistant

I edit a lot of the articles submitted to my ezine, Rim Digest,
for marketers and small business owners AND proofread
and edit web pages, blog posts and more for my clients.

I am NOT a “writer”, however, and rely on my strengths
with spelling and reading and grammar to help me help
them to show their very best face to the online or offline world.

One of the niches I find to be so helpful in things I want to write or share are PLR
or Private Label Rights articles where you pay a small fee for the use of the articles
and can edit, alter, add to or take away from something a real writer has created.

I have one such collection that I want to offer to my visitors that you can claim as your own and post in your ezines, submit to other ezines, use on your web site, use as eBook material or even offer in pieces in eCourses.

As one of my valued visitors, I’m giving you a one-time-chance
to download over 600 unique niche articles with Private Label Rights.

Professional copywriters can charge up to $250 PER article. I, myself,
have paid over $5 per article when I ran out of ideas for my ezine.

You CAN hire a Virtual Assistant or a copywriter to write or re-write your articles or blog posts for you, OR you can purchase these economical packages and use the content
as your own.

I do warn you, however, you will want to edit them or get someone else to do so for you. Number one, you do not want “duplicate content” where more than one person is using
the same article, word for word, AND there are quite often typos and spelling errors in packages with hundreds or thousands of documents. This said, it is usually very cost
and time efficient to try these out, I have found, if nothing else, a lot of good nudges
toward an idea that ends up helping me actually write something of my very own. :-)

Bonus with the above 600 Articles Package, purchase this product and I will proofread
and edit any one niche from the package for you FOR FREE and any others you might
want done for half my normal rate.

Remember, I am a Virtual Assistant who LOVES to do editing,
proofreading and transcription assignments!
