One of my duties or tasks as a Virtual Assistant is doing research
for my clients.

I have checked out several categories of businesses, found tax
and law information, researched people, places and things and
much more in the research capacity.

I like to first do a search in google, followed by one in MyPoints search bar
and it is amazing what one or the other might have that I would miss if
I stuck with just one search engine or method.

I first started out doing research for clients when a fellow eBay seller needed someone
to do the listings on her eBay Store and wanted some original descriptions and different pictures than were the standard “stock” info that eBay supplies.

I now do this for my own eBay Store where I sell popular and hard to find books,
movies and memorabilia.

I have also helped a client who has an eZine find compatible articles, digital products
and other content for his newsletter.

I do a lot of research myself for my Health & Wellness Blog and luckily, there is a huge wealth of information on the Internet, all you need is the patience ( and time ) to look
for it OR a Virtual Assistant who can do it for you.

If this sounds like something that you would like to have someone do for YOU,
you can get in touch with me by email or by using the Schedule a Project option
on my services page.

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

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!

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.
