One of the questions I get asked often is how much money a VA can make. Well, the answer to that question is similar to the answer to this one: how long is a piece of string? The fact is that when you are a small business owner, you are the one in control of how much you earn in your business. If you want to have a small, part time business that allows you to be at home for your family and work around a busy schedule, then you can choose to do that. If you want to work full time as a solopreneurs, and work only during regular business hours, and you just want to replace the income… Read More »What’s Your Earning Potential as a Virtual Assistant?

How does your marketing calendar look?

I love to sit down and plan things in my marketing calendar. First, it really helps me to get a clear vision of what I have coming up. Second, it gets me excited about how I can expand and grow my business. And last but certainly not least, it makes me accountable to do the things I say I’m going to do! Planning a marketing calendar takes no more than a pen and paper. Sure, you can get as fancy as you like and set it up online, or you can do it like me and just use post-it notes on your wall calendar. Whatever you choose, you should be sure to detail out what you want to do so… Read More »How does your marketing calendar look?

That may be true if you make plans or goals in your business and you don’t have a strategy in place to roll it out, but it can also be true if you don’t have someone there to make sure it gets done. Who are you accountable to in your business? You are a small business owner. You probably work on your own for the most part (maybe with some support of your own, but maybe not yet). So who keeps you on track? Do you do it yourself? Do you… Read More »Who Are You Accountable To?
