Becoming an Online Business Manager Blog Tour

As a virtual assistant myself for several years, I was very interested to see what Tina Forsyth had to bring to the table in her book, Becoming An Online Business Manager. Well, for me, this is the way I have been conducting business, however, didn’t realize to assign this title for the several duties I performed for my clients.

In Tina’s book, it really showcases the different areas to which a virtual assistant can expand their skill set and take it to a higher level -or as Tina calls it, “play a bigger game with your clients”. By providing a broader range of services and encompassing more responsibility within your realm, you can offer a sigh of relief and reduce stress for your clients.

As this book is suited for virtual assistants, it also allows business owners the opportunity to realize those areas a online business manager would be suited for in their business and hire an great addition to their team.

This post was part of a blog tour:
Yesterday the blog tour stopped at Tracy Lawton of Office Organization Success & Andy Wibbels of Andy Wibbels.com and author of Blog Wild
Tomorrow the blog tour continues with Teresa Morrow at Key Business Partners

Forsyth’s book, Becoming an Online Business Manager Playing a Bigger Game with your Clients (and Yourself), is available for purchase at http://www.becominganobm.com/

    Another book to add to my list. On of the things VA’s have to do is to constantly read, read, read. IVAP is new to the VA industry but have already learned so much from networking with and reading what others in the industry has to say.

    I had never heard of an Online Business Manager until I read this post. It’s an interesting concept and one I should look more closely into as a business owner.

    Tina Forsyth’s “Becoming an Online Business Manager” is a vital success tool to have in your arsenal. It gives numerous examples and practical advice that can help solo entrepreneurs and small companies more easily understand and assimilate the attitudes, mindset, and dynamics of running a successful online business.

    This book is a great gift for VAs and for the individuals planning to be VAs in the future.
    I’m a VA as well, and I think this book would be a helpful tool for me in terms of expanding my skills and developing my potentials as a better VA. Finally, this would be a great preparation in offering broader services to clients.Thanks for the info.
