Virtual Assistant - Bad Buzz

June 23, 2008 | 2 Comments

I read a long and detailed blog post here on Virtual Assistants.

 You might think that I am unhappy with bad buzz for virtual assistants, but nothing could be further from the truth.  Our goal at Virtual Buzz Assistant is to create a network of people that have specific specialty services that have high value and are in demand.  Plus, we require them to be English speakers.

Part way down in the article, it is mentioned that ideally you could work with a US Virtual Assistant that manages an Indian Virtual Assistant for certain tasks.  That is exactly our goal here.  First our VBA’s become proficient at creating buzz, then I hope they learn how to outsource some of the tasks and oversee the project for quality and proper execution.

I personally think that a Virtual Assistant that does not specialize is doomed to lower pay and has a much more difficult job of selling their general services.  Several times in the past I have thought about hiring a VA for marketing, but I never believed it could be successful because of the generalist nature of the offering.  This network is a direct result.

Social Media - Virtual Buzz Assistant Required

June 14, 2008 | 2 Comments

There is a variety of problems with social media.  I have identified the 7 mistakes that really make you look like a rookie that just learned about the Internet.  Don’t worry if you are making some of these mistakes, you are not alone.

The biggest reason you need a Virtual Buzz Assistant to help you with this, is that success takes persistance and time - and business owners seldom have it to spare for socializing on the web.  You can request an assistant to help you by clicking here.

  1. Trying to participate in too many tools
    If you are siging up and building a profile on every new tool that comes out, you better be a writer for Mashable.  No one can keep up with all the new things.  Find some you like and do a good job in them.  Doing a good job in 2-3 is still so hard that you may need an assistant.
     
  2. Expect that just setting up accounts will yield results
    Guess what - you have to do more than just set up an account on a social media site to get results.  If I had a dollar for every person that has told me they set up a LinkedIn account and nothing happened, I’d be rich.
     
  3. Not using the tools to connect with people
    Nearly every site makes it possible to connect with other people (I think that is why they call is SOCIAL media).  If you are not connecting, no one is finding you.  Your Virtual Buzz Assistant can help you grow your networks in these tools.
     
  4. Giving up after a short time
    Social media is about making and sustaining connections.  The only way you can grow your influence is long term.  Do I see a few hours a month with a Virtual Buzz Assistant in your future?
     
  5. Promoting yourself without providing value
    The fact that you signed up for an account does not give you the right to promote yourself constantly.  And it is a sure way to get people to run away.
     
  6. Not using the tools to link to other sites and articles
    Similar to not connection to people, if you only link to your website or blog and never bookmark or link to other interesting resources, you will never gain the respect of your audience.  Nor should you.
     
  7. Not intentionally building a target network
    Don’t pick the biggest network or the one that your brother said you should.  Find out where your current customers go and your target audience hangs out online.  Intentionally build value and influence in the right communities, even if they are smaller.

If you are a business person trying to get into this social media thing, I fully expect that you have made all of these mistakes.  I promise you that if you get these things turned around, your popularity and influence will rise online, as will your pocketbook eventually. 

And if you need it, get help.  It is affordable and helps you build an audience for the future.

Virtual Buzz Assistant Pricing Changes

June 4, 2008 | Leave a Comment

If you were thinking about requesting a Virtual Buzz Assistant but bulked at the $199, we have changed our pricing and process.

We have had a flood of calls and emails, but many people bulked at the $199 to request a virtual assistant.  Many people worried that they would spend the $199 and not get matched or not get enough matches.

Since my concern is to focus on the training and development of the skills of our virtual buzz assistants, the last thing I wanted to do is spend my time convincing people that $199 to be matched with  marketing savy virtual assistants is a good idea.

So I have adjusted the program to be FREE (as of June 2008, subject to change).  It is now automated.  I do not review your plan.  It just goes out to our network and those that have skills that match will send proposals to you.  Since our goal is to have a small, talented group, you will not get flooded with requests.

You will also have the option to subscribe to private tips list on working with Virtual Assistants to achieve marketing goals.  (Included in the fee)

Please note that you CAN put out a project that is just a few hundred dollars, but our Virtual Buzz Assistants are most valuable when your project is an ongoing monthly retainer with clear marketing objectives and goals.
