Welcome to ACS News
Thank you for joining us and your interest and also to those who have been clients of "A Clayton's Secretary" over the past 15 years. This month I have the following for you.
Developing Your Presence OnlineJust recently my VA team and I have been discussing Twitter and many are just learning about this relatively new social networking tool. Like most 'new' things out there I watch for a little while to see what kind of interest they are getting and then jump on board if it feels 'right' for me to do so. Sometimes it might be because a client has requested that I explore that program for them even if I don't quite feel ready for it myself. Whenever setting up an account for anything like a discussion forum, Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, leaving comments on blogs, etc I've thought carefully about my userID. I read a long time ago about the importance of branding yourself when online and I took that seriously. And so I want to encourage you to think carefully about the presence you are leaving on the web and how you portray yourself. If you use the same UserID all the time people can Google that and find all the places you've been - that could be a good thing and a bad thing - depending on how you behave online. It will also help you find those long forgotten places you joined some time ago and haven't visited for awhile. If you're interested in finding out more about social networking tools and how to use them, then please visit my blog SOHO-Life.com and check the menu categories for the different tools. I regularly update posts there as I come across different things or people ask questions. I also have a free ebook giveaway for those who want to learn about blogging. Using RSS Feeds To Keep Up To DateI find http://www.google.com/reader/ a really useful tool. Not only can I subscribe to multiple blogs and read them in the one place instead of having to remember their URLs to visit (or enter my email address to subscribe and get lots of emails) I can also view many board chat forums via RSS too which is really useful if you want to keep up with the thread of discussions but not have to log into a site regularly each day. I wrote about this at length in April 2008 and thought I would bring your attention to it as there are many new on this list but also as time goes by and we become more familiar with technology, some newer ideas become more easily accepted. So why not pop over and read that article now?

Need a speaker for your event?“Worth More Than Rubies is a great starting place for moms who desire to work from home. Packed full of practical, useful information as well as the story of Kathie's own journey, I know this will bless many, many women.” ~ Jill Hart, CWAHM.com Are you working for your family or because of your family? This topic really hit home for me. It made me feel good about working from home, I felt validated. Kathie's stories about her family and what it meant for her to work from home and what it meant for her family to have her there just made the whole conference worthwhile. Everything else was a bonus. Where is Kathie speaking this year?
Kathie can speak at your next meeting, seminar, conference or church and you can find her full itinerary at her site. She speaks on the following topics:
About Our Organisation…What is a Virtual Assistant? Think of a corporate office with a Personal Assistant or Secretary who sits outside the bosses' office providing him/her with admin/secretarial support. Now place that PA or Secretary in a different building - still providing that support but contact is done via email and phone instead of face-to-face. Well, that's how a Virtual Assistant (VA) works. We are as close to you as your computer and can do almost anything traditional support staff do - except virtually. You don't need to provide office space, equipment, software or furniture - we have our own! Location no issue as the work is carried out 'virtually' no matter where you are! However, if you need someone locally we can supply. See our list at VA Directory Manage your subscription The bottom of this newsletter if received by email should have a link for updating your subscription or removing it. Or you can hit reply and let me know by email. |
