Dragon Naturally Speaking

I recently had a series of accidents that have made my life as a VA somewhat cumbersome. I broke my right hand (I am right handed) and it is, to say the least, a challenge.

I discovered this software program called Dragon NaturallySpeaking. There are many out there that know if this program, I guess I am slow on the uptake. I don’t know about you, but I am a creature if habit. I found this program more of a nuisance. I guess it will just take some getting used to. I even found that it helps to read the directions!

I know that it is used in many ways, I just need to get a handle on it…maybe someday.

Publicity Hound Resource List

It’s been a while since I’ve posted a new blog, but I’ve been really busy from all of the work I received from Joan Stewart, aka, The Publicity Hound.
One of the reasons I’ve been so busy is I recently subscribed to her resource list. She promotes the list almost every week in her newsletter.
So, I get free publicity, and clients without spending a lot of money on marketing. It’s a win win situation.
If you’d like to be on her resources list. Just go to: http://www.marketerschoice.com/app/aftrack.asp?afid=608232&u=http://publicityhound.com/resources.htm

This one is from the Publicity Hound’s latest newsletter:

Small Business People Will Love Publicity Hound U.:

Several dozen small-business people who can’t afford to hire assistants have asked me if Publicity Hound University, next week’s graduate-level training, could help them, too.

Absolutely. Even though I’m marketing it to assistants, virtual assistants and interns, a few small business owners already have signed up. And I guarantee that do-it-yourselfers will end the week knowing more about how to generate publicity than many PR people.

You can also take advantage of free email support for 30 days.Because of the intense interest in the small-business community, I’m extending the deadline until tomorrow night at midnight for the early-bird registration special.

Learn more at http://tinyurl.com/23mzu7. If you’ve already signed up for the course, you will receive your photo ebook and complete instructions on how to participate in the course by Thursday.

Don’t have an assistant yet? Our CDs and electronic transcripts on “How to Find a Virtual Assistant to Help with Your Publicity Campaign” are finally ready. Read more about what you’ll learn at http://tinyurl.com/242dwt

“Reprinted from “The Publicity Hound’s Tips of the Week,” an ezine featuring tips, tricks and tools for generating free publicity.”

Joan Stewart is the PR guru and she is hosting this teleseminar. It is a great way to hone your skills and learn new ones. I know for a fact that I will be sitting in on this one.

Bringing Serenity to Your Hectic Business Schedule

As I was sitting at my computer this morning looking at my emails and the things on my “to do” list.
I began to wonder just what it is that I do to help coaches and other businesses.

In a word, TIME-SAVER.

I take care of all the mundane tasks that would take up valuable time. I post articles to article websites, that would also take up more valuable time. I post their media in the form of podcasts, radio interviews to websites, again taking up vaulable time. I post to blogs, all kinds of blogs. Post their events and speaking engagements. I back up newsletters. Sit in on teleseminars to take notes for the clients. Update websites. All these things are time savers for my clients.

It frees up my clients to do the things that are profitable, fun and creative.

I enjoy doing these tasks and look forward to many more.
