Hello fellow VAs!!!
I cannot believe it is already the end of September. I feel like time has just flown by and even remember New Year's Day!! I can definitely state this year has been a very successful year for me and have gotten to a point where I could not take on additional projects because of the work load I currently had on hand. I remember last year thinking, "Will my VA business ever pick up?" And it sure has =)
Okay so as a VA in the business part-time, I have came across several programs that assist me in hopefully enabling my business to be as productive as possible, including me! However, I wonder which programs provides the most benefits to you as a virtual assistant?
For example, I like using
Google Mail because I don't have to worry about finding replies of what was discussed and Google Mail provides that for me. However, I also use
Yahoo Mail in which I can use filters and such to sort different emails into folders from different clients of mine - this is probably the main one I use with my business. There is always
Hotmail, but haven't used that as of yet for my business - just personal use.
For time tracking, I prefer to use
MyHours.com. It's simple and I can access it anywhere since I am usually online when completing work for my clients. Are there other similiar sites out there that you recommend for other users or individuals who want to get into our virtual world?
For invoicing and business expenses, I currently use
Quicken Online. Although, I only complete VA duties on a part-time basis, for now, it is suitable until I really get my feet wet. I have also heard of QuickBooks and Peachtree, but never had the chance to use those programs with the exceptions of managing information for my clients.
Last, but not least, I want to welcome all the "newbies" that have joined FindVirtual.com.
Welcome to the administrative world online!!
