The 6 Figure Virtual Assistant
As a six figure VA, last year was a pivotal time for me. My income was steady, making the same amount in 2010 as I did in 2009–BUT I worked less and had more fun.
I shifted my practice from offering standard VA services to becoming a certified Online Business Manager and including some packages like my 1ShoppingCart> Infusionsoft transfer services. Read the rest of this entry »

5 Unique Membership Site Ideas
Recently I’ve been sharing some unique Membership Site ideas to my email list. It’s kind of fun to randomly pick a niche and create a Membership Site idea from it.

Do You Have to Hug Your Clients Before They Will Like You?
Our world – personal and business – is based on relationships. Every time you choose to do business with someone it’s usually because you find them trustworthy, honorable and likable.

Are You Talking to Your Audience?
A long, long time ago, in high school, I had a huge crush on a boy in my class. He was a musician and an artist. I really, really wanted him to like me. I picked up a book on “how make men fall in love with you”. The book suggested that people fall in love with folks that communicate the same way they do… it suggested mimicking the person you were trying to influence.

How Kathy Got Her Groove Back and Learned to Attract the Rare and Elusive High-Paying Clients
When I started my Virtual Assistant (VA) business, there was no training available to teach me how to get VA clients. Instead, I took advice from internet marketing gurus and tried their tips to bring in clients including:
- Direct mail – I sent out hundreds of postcards and letters.
