TWO STEPS TO FIX YOUR SCHEDULE TO START UP AN ONLINE BUSINESS

Do you want to start up an online business but you are having a hard time to fit it in your busy schedule?

Many of us go through this. We become overwhelmed and find it difficult to fit everything we need to do in the time frame we have available, it is all too hard!. If you are at that point in your decision making regarding starting your own online business, then make sure you read this article which will provide you a two­ step method that can assist you to maximize your time so you can start and run your online business.

TWO ­STEP PROCESS FOR MAXIMIZING YOUR TIME

• Step One

For you to free up your time, the first thing you must do is know how you spend your time each day. Time is something that we all get equally: 24 hours in a day and 60 minutes in an hour and we all spend it the full 24 hours in each day doing something. You must take note of how you use your time. For a couple of days to up to a week, record everything you do and how you use your time.

• Step Two

After keeping a precise record of how you are using your time, you can observe the following points:

1. You get involved in time wasting activities where you are just killing time. Example: watching a replay or rerun of television shows. Something that is not necessary or important to building your business.

2. There are some tasks in your life that you can just entrust to somebody else or outsource.

3. Things that you really must do. These are things that you must accomplish in a time no matter what. For instance: having quality time with your kids and family, or personal down time.

4. Finally, you may be able to do things that allow you to do other things all at the same time! For instance if you are on a train or plane trip, you have the time to do other things rather than just simply sitting waiting to arrive at your destination. These are perfect times to check emails, write articles for blogs, catch up on writing and letters etc.

By following the above suggestions, you may be able to free up a couple of hours from your time scheduled in a day to start up and run an online business. A couple of hours per day would be the minimum time required if you’re really serious about starting up an online business. Wait no more and invest in your future!

Michele and I started a business in a box it is a great way to fast track your success. See the banner on the right of the screen, check it out for yourself.

If time is still a problem for you, rise earlier, go to bed later. Remove things from your daily routine that are not important to achieve the results you desire. If you are struggling to find the time to do everything you need to do to get your business moving forward, then use outsourcing. Click the banner on the screen “Need a VA”. Michele and I use them regularly to  get those things done we do not have time to do and to do the things we are not sure how to do. They are fantastic. Their service is great; they are efficient and get the job done.

Remember – Live Your Life with Purpose

WHAT DOES SEO MEAN TO YOUR BUSINESS?

Search Engine Optimization or SEO is a real big part of your business and here is why if you don’t invest in proper SEO both technical and social media you are burning your money and not getting a good bang for your buck and missing out on FREE traffic that comes to you from ranking on the first pages of Google.

Now here is where it gets interesting Google has algorithms that they use and they change regularly to rate your site and how relevant the content it is to the title of the content and what sort of experience does the reader get when they come to your website.

Google wants the reader to be:

• Educated
• Entertained
• Have FAQ’s
• Good quality content

The spiders also report back how long that they readers were on your site, links that were clicked and even is sophisticated to record scrolling to see how people were engrossed in your content and also can also see through Google analytics all of the information that I will cover in another article.

Now that we know what Google wants and that is good quality content that is unique and delivers the information that the reader first typed into their browser.

What happens though if Google goes to the content and finds that there are a few duplicated versions of the same article for instance? Well it looks and tries to reward the person who first put the content up but this does not always happen imagine for a moment you looked on Google to see how your article is doing and see your competitor that has blatantly copied for your article that you paid to have written and worse still they are ranking higher than you!

Back to search engine optimization for your business:

You like me must get a ton of emails from people that flood your inbox with SEO offers, also perhaps that you too have also paid for services that say that they can get you ranked on Google page one in no time at all. If you see these type of offers delete them, here is why.

• It will take 2-3 months to work behind the scenes until you will start seeing results
• If you target very popular keywords it may take longer or you may not rank for these at all as companies with a bigger ad spend will always own the top spots.
• We would look at other strategies that are the lower bearing fruit that we would concentrate on to get you seen and getting ranked for.
• What should be done though is an audit outlining what errors are on your site both on page and off page.

SEO for Local Business is something that can be very successful for your business or restaurant and if done correctly that would bring customers through your door.

AN OUTSOURCING COMPANY THAT EXCEEDS YOUR EXPECTATIONS

Today the word outsourcing company can mean many things to an individual or business. Perhaps you have had a bad experience and thought I gave it a go and its not for me I have no idea how others outsource work to offshore companies and that is why I want to write this article.

I was talking to my business coach only the other day and we were talking about marketing and expansion as we do as my company grows and I said really I should be going to events and spruiking about our services there like one of my competitors does. Her wise words meant a lot to me as she said “you do not get it, what happens is this person goes to events and will sign up 100 people but 80 leave due to bad service. In effect he has like a leaky bucket never really expanding as he loses them at the other end, whereas you concentrate on customer retention, service and talk to them keeping them focused and most of all getting results!”

What a wise old owl she is – my strength is in the people that we have both in the staff that we have and of course the people that our much valued clients, we do very little advertising as word of mouth grows our company.

What does a virtual assistant do for you?
It really does not matter about the tasks that you have in mind the virtual assistant is there to systematically work through her daily tasks. They are the busy bees the ones that are happy to do the repetitive work that you do not want to do. The virtual assistants are not paid to think they are paid to do.

Basically anything in an office environment can be outsourced from general admin tasks, spreadsheets, diary management, events, data entry, SEO, social media, sales funnels using Lead Pages, Click Funnels, Lead Magnet, email marketing, article writing, web design, customer service etc.

The new marketer that has little experience will love the fact that even though they are not technical savvy a virtual assistant team can do all of the tasks like branding, setting up social media channels, logos, product creation, content for the their website, write and set up their auto responder series etc these are just some of the things that a good outsourcing company can do.

If you are a business I hope your mind is ticking on how much of your work or better still grow your bottom line and outsource the work to Need a VA company.

As a new marketer I have just with the information that I have shared with you has saved you literally months of learning the individual parts of Internet marketing the technical side.

What do I pay a virtual assistant is something that comes up quiet often. And while we are sold on getting cheap help on average a good general virtual assistant is a third of workers in Australia or in United States.

The difference between payment of a freelance virtual assistant can seem very different but why the pay varies is that you are paying for their better use of English, higher standard of Education, skill set and the training that companies invest in their staff.
Also with a better quality outsource company will have a variety of experts under the one umbrella and instead of you talking to 9 different virtual assistants your work is project managed so there is only 1 person you speak to and they in turn work between the various VA’s that are working on your project.

The one project manager will also check work as a form of quality control before sending it through to you have daily reports.

I hope by now that you can see the difference for $3 USD per hour you will get a freelancer you will need to train and to communicate with who may or may not have a good grasp of English. For 7.50-10.50 per hour you will be assured of this with my company Need a VA.

If you would like to discuss how outsourcing can help you and your business please contact us http://needava.com email us at info@needava.com I can assure you that you will not will be happy with the supreme service we provide.

WHAT DOES SEO MEAN TO YOUR BUSINESS?

The following are the things that can wrong at the start or joining an outsource company. I am always honest with clients and say that there will be things that go pear shaped from time to time and the best way is by having open discussions that work on solutions moving forward. I know that this is the best approach so that you may find the following information also helpful.

Expectations are unreasonable

This happens when the first discussion takes place and if all questions are not asked at the beginning. At Need a VA we record calls so that both the client has a copy and the project manager can reply to ensure that we have not missed important points.

We use a project management tools for larger tasks and each of our sections have a project manager that works between you and the VA, this way the project manager can quality control all of the work that is sent to you for approval.

Communication is everything

• This is a big one when it comes to talking and discussing things with your virtual assistant.
  There are times that the client is not clear of what they want and is disappointed that the VA did not “get it.” The virtual assistant is the busy bee they do what they are instructed to do.
• With communication try to stay with dot points or video using Jing is best.
  There are times where the VA will try to contact you in order to progress your task and this is made more difficult if email are not returned.
• Reports from the VA should be daily or weekly and that should be discussed on the initial meeting. This is so you can see how the tasks are going and make comments if its not how you wanted something
• Pay on time every time The VA’s are just like us with bills, food utilities etc. ensure that you pay promptly and if they have done an outstanding job please tip them – even a few dollars goes such a long way in their country.I have captured a few reasons that could happen when using a new virtual assistant company but again that its not like that at need a VA as we have used the latest focus group results from UCLA to train our outsourcing staff.
  We also use project managers who oversee your tasks, check your work and report back to you. So there is always open communication.
