Discover virtual entrepreneurship by building a career using skills you already have.

We are huge fans of blogging. Blogging helps us promote and create awareness for our business and we frequently get visitors to our website who state they found us by following a blog post they read. We're curious if anyone else has started to leverage blogging to help them promote their virtual assistant practice?

I truly believe it has. Blogging on a lot of different topics is a good goal to because word spreads fast. On podcasts that's what they promote to market your business in a fairly simple way.

Curious if anyone can help me out. Do you know how to turn on a tracking feature for your blog on www.blogger.com If you want to email me to walk me through it I would appreciate it.

Not sure what you mean by "tracking". If you are talking about getting emails when people interact with your blog then I might have helped you - I included a few screenshots of places inside blogger to go to edit for certain email functionality.

If you want to track your traffic and visitors path etc...you'll need an analytic package. Google has a free one that I use and it works great. check out google.com/analytics for more.

Email me with any Q's.

Thank you so much Jason, maybe you should be teachcing your webinar on blogging:) Think about it!!
HI Jason,
Do you have any advise as to which blog site is the best site to have a blog on? Also, once a blog is created, how do we market our blog to potential clients, or how do we get our blog seen by people?
Definitely! I just started blogging earlier this year and am having so much fun. I just retained a new client and part of why she chose me was because she liked my writing at my blog. It's also now part of a self-promotion plan that I've created for solo service providers. I've just set up blogs for two clients and am in the processing of marketing my blogging promotion. I'll start another thread about some blogging ideas.
I believe that blogging can really help. I'm pretty new to it and don't really get the time to blog as much as I'd like but I do believe it can help your business. Since I've started blogging I've received queries about my services from people who would have read my blog.
Hey Kelly!
Well this is something that I have just recently started and thanks to Jason, he has been so helpful in teaching me how to blog and things to mention within that blog. That is one reason I posted my blog on this site yesterday. I certainly don't mean to really be putting all that advertising out there, but more so to use as training and gaining experience.

I will keep you posted on how things progress and what sort of traffic I receive! Make it a great day!

Hi Deb!

I saw that you posted yesterday so good for you! Don't worry about "advertising" that is one reason why we have that feature built in. We monitor all the content on this site so if anything goes over the edge we contact you and politely ask you to modify/delete it.

I'm glad you found a connection here to help you along too. Jason helped us with some initial SEO for this site as well and we were very pleased. From what I hear he is a pretty busy guy to so glad he made the time.

Keep up the effort and let me know how I can help!

I haven't actually done any blogging up until now but after reading these posts it is something that I am going to start doing. Can anyone give me any advice about where to put blogs
It's really good to hear some positive experiences from blogging. I just recently started blogging and was about to give up. Now I'm definately motivated to keep at it.

Thanks,

Trena
