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!

Today, as I was editing different areas of several of my own web sites,
I realized yet again that although I actually LOVE doing this task, a LOT
of bloggers and webmasters DO NOT. This is just one more reason you might have to consider having your own Virtual Assistant .

Yesterday, I celebrated TEN YEARS of being the editor of my online newsletter for marketers and small business owners, Rim Digest ezine
and spent a couple of hours last night and a few more today updating the many pages
on that domain and some here at my Virtual Assistance site.

I do quite a bit of proofreading for clients, both on their web pages and in their advertisements or email newsletters, but rarely make updates like changing dates, facts, resources, etc. and yet I realize this is another part of editing that is very necessary for those who have online businesses.

My dream, to be honest, is to someday be so busy with my Virtual Assistance assignments that I can hire my own helper to do the things I do not like to do or take up my time and keep me from doing those I love to do. The first thing I would want a helper to do for me would be to assist with my eBay store , which is my biggest time waster. I do not want my eBay listings to be the same boring, blah blah cookie cutter stock descriptions and images but really nearly go into a coma with the monotony of looking up each movie, book or memorabilia item I sell on eBay and giving each an exciting description.

Maybe until that time comes I will be lucky enough to find someone who LOVES doing that kind of task and hates doing his or her own editing work and we can swap! Hey, if I am going to dream, why not dream big?

I have sadly neglected this blog due to being busy, busy, busy and then on top of that, being SICK for about nine weeks with a cold / flu type thing that I did not think was ever going to go away! Now I am back to “normal”, for me, anyway, LOL, and will try to do better with keeping my blog updated. Welcome to this fresh, new year with a chance for new beginnings, new friends and associates and new business!

This has nothing to do with my Virtual Assistance business except for the fact that my focus is ON this business and I have lost my eight year addiction to selling digital products, but I have decided to retire SoftwareWarrioress.com so that I can totally devote my time and energies TO my Virtual Assistance business and my marketing ezine, Rim Digest , which will be celebrating its 10th anniversary with me as its editor on February 10.

I plan to sell the domain name of 8 years, SoftwareWarrioress.com and over 50 Gig of resell digitals plus the web site and pages, etc. This way I can devote myself to my true loves, which are the services I provide as a Virtual Assistant, my wonderful clients and future ones and my ezine. I let myself get stretched in too many directions and this is my goal for 2010 – to get and remain totally focused.

To be perfectly honest, I LOVE Proofreading and Editing and doing Transcriptions and feel I do my best work when it is something I enjoy and excel at.

I am also an avid social networker, especially with Twitter and love helping others with their social networking needs. By retiring the digital sales super store business, I can devote myself to these things.

I do not, however, plan to sell three of my most beloved digital products with this sale. I plan to keep the following three, as they are totally mine, were made for ME and are my 3 best sellers:

First off is the Health Products site with a HUGE inventory of products with resell rights on three levels, Helluva Health Site , which was made for me by my best friend, Sharon McPherson, who is also the owner/operator of Templates Themes and Graphics AND the creator of this blog site and Tallent Agency Virtual Assistance site.

This has been my biggest seller of ALL time next to advertising in my ezine.

Next is the Christmas Bonanza package , which was also made for me by Sharon.

Lastly, the oldest product I plan to hang on to is my Marketing Warrioress Quick and Easy Recipes which was written and made BY ME!

These three items are available to buy but NOT a part of the SoftwareWarrioress.com retirement sale package.

I still love digital products and think they are the neatest things to hit the internet after almost 13 years of my being online BUT they need dedicated time and energy to sell and maintain and I just do not have the “fire” to devote to them any longer.

If anyone is interested in stepping into an already established business, you can email me from any of the pages at the site and I will be glad to talk to you about the possibilities.

Again, Happy New Year and thank you so much for visiting my blog in 2010!
