One Vital Task Most Virtual Assistants Neglect

By deepak | Published: March 11, 2010

Most people think that once they get the client and complete the task there role as a virtual assistant is complete.  However, in fact this is only the beginning of building a successful client list and your future work relationship with said client, because follow-up tasks are just as important as the initial task that you perform.  Follow-up checks are not only where you check in on your client, but also when you get a unique chance to offer customer service beyond the norm and possibly secure repeat business.

In fact, if it seems as if you do not have many repeat clients follow- up may be the only task that you need to incorporate into your business model.  In many CRM market surveys companies responded that if they hear from a business they are more likely to remember the business.  The same is probably true in your personal life as well.

For instance, think of the last time you had your home rugs cleaned or had your windows replaced.  Do you remember who did the service for you?  Since this is something people only do every few years it may be likely that you forget.  However, if one of those services sends you notices and flyers in the mail you likely do remember and maybe have even made use of their services once again.  This is why follow-up is so important regardless of what type of field or industry you are involved with.

Therefore, a month or so after your last interaction with a client it is nice to send out a follow up email that checks in with the client to see how their business is running and if they need any additional aid.  For the clients that do not need aid at the time, it will a nice sentiment and make them feel as if you really have their best interests at heart. For the clients that may have a task, it will remind them of your existence and possibly motivate them to reply back with a new job.

Why Consider SEO When You Develop A Website?

By deepak | Published: March 5, 2010

If you have lately been active in the online world, more specifically, the blogosphere, you have probably heard the term search engine optimization a lot of times. If you are in your quest to developing a website, may it be personal, informational or for whatever purpose you may want to build it – it would be best that you have knowledge on SEO or search engine optimization, most especially, if you are planning to make money while owning a website.

To further address the need of knowledge and consideration on SEO, one must know what it is mainly all about. Basically, search engine optimization is a process on enhancing the quality or volume of traffic that enters a website through search engines by using natural or unpaid search results without payments involved. Most commonly, the earlier or rather, if a site ranks high in search engine results list, the more the visitors it will be collating from that search engine. SEO may target different niches – it can be imaging, local or video search.

In building a website, a lot of things are to consider – such as content, layout and photos. All of these have to be complemented with great search engine optimization techniques as for the website to be given web presence. You don’t want your site attracting the visitors you don’t need don’t you? What’s worse is, you don’t want to make a brilliant website, which doesn’t appeal to anyone and that no one can see.

So for the website to appear on top of search results, first, you should use keywords on your menu. A lot of web builders tend to lack creativity while developing their website. Yes, you may have come up with a great layout and color scheme, but if you tend to follow the common websites, especially when titling menus. A lot of people may have knowledge of keywords and how SEO works but a lot of people tend not to use it to the fullest. A smart thing to do is to put keywords on the menu instead of the bland “About  Us” or “Contact”, why not change it to “Contact San Francisco Builders”; that adds emphasis – more so, it can help you gain web presence.

Also, you can use URL keyword optimization, which helps your website to get recognized. Make sure you modify your URL with the target keywords for the page you are building. If you take notice in a lot of websites, primarily those top earning ones and those with huge traffic, they have their URLs keyword optimized. You may notice that in their entry’s single pages, the URL reads http://yourdomainname.com/keyword-optimized-title. To rank well in the search engine, optimizing your URLs is a wise move.

So that’s it. Some simple ways to make your website gain presence in the world wide web. This goes to show that learning SEO is a must if you’re developing, most especially, a top notch website.

Twitter Marketing Tips

By deepak | Published: March 1, 2010

Twitter is all about interaction between the users.  You have 140 characters to get your message across.  It’s not a lot, but with a bit of effort, you can put a lot into 140 characters.  Here are some tips to help you with your Twitter marketing.

Make sure you post quality –:
With Twitter, it is easy to post all day long with everything you are doing.  But most people do not care if it is lunch time, if you were playing with your dog, etc.  Make sure what whatever you post is truly important and people will want to know.

Communicate with others –:
Twitter is all about getting to know other people and interacting with them.  You need to learn how to reply and how to re-tweet.

Don’t over promote –:
Part of Twitter marketing means posting relevant information, but not always about your specific product. Your posts can be about related products, but not your specific one all the time.  For instance, you own a restaurant; instead of every post being about why they need to come to your restaurant, post about why you love certain dishes, the qualities of an ingredient, or anything else associated with restaurants and food.

Quality Followers –:
Twitter marketing is all about getting people to follow you, become aware of your product, and then come and support you.  One of the first things you need to do is find the right people to follow.  Going with the restaurant example, you are going to want to find people on Twitter, who are local to you.  Targeting someone who lives across the country isn’t going to help you, unless you know they are coming to your area, which isn’t too likely, and they probably will be a one time only customer.

Directing Traffic –:
You can use Twitter to direct traffic to other sites you may have such as a blog or website.  Post when you put up new information, and direct people to go visit.  You can also do this in reverse, by putting up tools that will automatically post to your Twitter profile when you post to them.

Watch for people talking about you –:
With Twitter, people can put @YourUserName, and if you search for that, you will find all the comments people may make about you.  This is a great tool, as you can then go and respond to whatever, they are saying.

Twitter marketing is all about what is going on right now.  Due to the nature of it, it is almost like an instant messaging system, and people aren’t concerned about what is going on a day ago, they want to know what is happening now.

Most websites are designed to sell something regardless of whether it is simply the content so that your advertising revenue increases or the general product or service.  When you use SEO you will improve how much your site can sell because you get the chance to use SEO to increase the visibility of your products and praise your services in articles.  Article submission websites are a large part of SEO, and when you submit content you get the license to say whatever you want about your product which creates the perfect atmosphere for you to pitch your product to a wide audience.

Cheap -:
SEO is considerably cheap when you compare it to other practices online to increase the visibility of your website.  Since you can do it on your own SEO can only cost you your time, but if even if you hire someone you can find plenty of freelance agents that can build the SEO value of your website for a reasonably low rate.  Even better, since it will raise your sales SEO will quickly pay for itself.

Higher Internet Exposure -:
Finally, the overall purpose of SEO is to boost your website to the top of the search rankings which it will do if properly conducted.  Thus, in just a few months you can have much higher internet exposure than your competitors which of course means more customers and more money.  The more you use SEO the higher the chances that you will garnish a large amount of traffic from simple searches.
