Recently, I had the great pleasure of being nominated for three AssistU Community Recognition Awards.  The award ceremony was held this past weekend in Las Vegas.  It was a time for visiting with friends and meeting new ones in the process.

By now, many of you have heard that I got a wee bit sick while there in Vegas.  I had flown in specifically for this mid-day event, only to get a bad case of motion sickness on the flight into Vegas (I swear).

If you didn’t get to hear all of the gory details, I encourage you to click to see my  ==> YouTube video.  After recording that video, I realized I hadn’t taken the time to properly thank the people that helped me the most during my sickly visit to Vegas.

Without a doubt, I owe so much thanks to my VA sisters for taking care of me during my time of need.  While I was able to recover and have a good time visiting with everyone, I had to make a special mention to those people who went out of their way to comfort my sickly self (smirk).

I entered myself into StartUp Nation’s 2008 Home-Based 100 Competition about a month ago.

Events like this are great for a little startup business like mine (or yours, for that matter!).  And there’s nothing better than a whole lot of free exposure, right?

I would love your clicks in order to make it to the finals.

You are allowed to vote once a day and voting continues well into the month of October (**sigh**).  If you hear me asking a few more times before the end of October, thanks in advance (big grin).

Your support is greatly appreciated.

As a small business owner with an online business, I had to find a way to market myself in a virtual setting.

I’ve had the most success with Facebook and I’d like to show you how.

I created a Two Part Teleseminar series called FACEBOOK: Simple and Straightfoward aimed at answering all of your basic questions and showing you what to do next.

I want to show you what I’ve learned and, more importantly, I want to share my successful strategies on communicating authentically and with integrity, without annoying people with unsolicited emails and heavy-handed tactics.

Have you heard about FACEBOOK and SOCIAL M-E-D-I-A NETWORKING but you don’t know what where to start?

Are you intrigued enough to create an account, but don’t know what to do next?

As a Virtual Assistant and owner of an online business, Social Networking has been an invaluable tool in marketing myself and my business in a virtual setting.

After deciphering the rules of Social Networking engagement, I began to get inquiries from potential clients (PCs).

Once those PCs became my clients, customizing and maintaining their Profiles became one of the ongoing projects I handled for them.

A new client service was born.

As more people approached me to help them with their own profiles, I realized I couldn’t keep up with the one on one demand.

I created a Two Part Teleseminar series called FACEBOOK: Simple and Straightfoward aimed at answering all of your basic questions and showing you what to do next.

I want to show you what I’ve learned and, more importantly, I want to share my successful strategies on communicating authentically and with integrity, without annoying people with unsolicited emails and heavy-handed tactics.

As a bonus, I’ve created a in-depth guide to help you figure out Facebook’s most important features.

I’ve trimmed away the extras to give you a quick start.

These calls will be geared toward those who need to start with the basics and add on from there, step by step.
