For most of us, our fathers are our heroes, our knight in shining armor. Their love is unconditional, their sacrifices are selfless and their strength is something that we look up to. Join us as we acknowledge and honor one of the greatest man in our lives.

There's no better way to celebrate Father's Day than to let Assistforce Virtual Assistants (VAs) handle your office's vital but time-consuming day-to-day tasks. We can free your day to take dad fishing or celebrate a little more at the movies with your hubby!

You're a Virtual Assistant and you're advising clients about how to maximize their use of social media... but you don't have a Twitter account nor a Facebook fan page. Really?

Oh, the lessons I've learned during my six [now ten] years as a Virtual Assistant...   These are a few commandments:

1. Always trust your instincts - If a client sounds too good to be true, you can bet there are some scary things in his/her closet, stay away!
2. Charge too little and you'll be a doormat
3. Charge too much and you won't land any clients
4. Communication is the #1, most vital element of your business - at a minimum, email back within 24 hours or you're going to lose business.
5. Have a rock solid, non-negotiable work for hire agreement that spells out your and your clients' protections. 

Ten years ago, when I received my marketing degree, coursework did not include classes for the types of marketing media that are available today.  Having a website then was not as important as it is today.  Technology has changed how 21st Century small business owners (SBO) market their products and services, as well as their options of communication tools.
