To all my fabulous and loyal clients - THANK YOU.

Don't lose valuable SEO rankings because of a late payment

Do you know when your website hosting and your domain name (website address) are next due for renewal?

When you are late with your website hosting payment it can cause the link between your website and your domain name to break.

A connection break, even for a short time, can be very detrimental to your search engine ranking.

Never put up with poor service or substandard equipment

Within a space of 48 hours, I recently experienced two extremes of service in business.

At 7.15am on a Sunday morning I received a text and email from my bank. Thirty minutes after initial contact, they phoned me.

They were alerting me to the fact that three fraudulent payments were transferred out of my bank account overnight (that’s not credit card, actual bank account, which is way scarier!)

My Virtual Assistant, working from home since 2009!

What a crazy world we are living in at the moment.

I wanted to take a moment to acknowledge what's happening in New Zealand and around the world.

Like you, I have been watching as the Coronavirus Pandemic has unfolded, and it has been a topic of discussion everywhere I go.

Getting a website for your business can feel overwhelming

When it comes to getting a website for your business, especially when you are in the early stages of setting up your business, chances are it all feels a little overwhelming.

And even if you’ve been in business for a while and you already have a website, when was the last time you took a good hard look at it?

Networking at it's finest - it really does work!

Being part of a networking group like Venus, is definitely great for a business owner.

Whether you're a start-up business or been around for yonks, the connections you make can last for a very long time.

When I launched My Virtual Assistant, back in 2009, I hadn't ever heard about networking groups, and if I had I didn't give them much thought because I'd never need to find my own clients before.

The other day I was chatting with an acquaintance and they asked my why I love doing what I do, so much.

My initial reaction was to laugh-out-loud and say, ‘for the money, of course!’

Which celebrity personality would you identify with your business?

This was a question asked of My Virtual Assistant recently, and after some thought, this is what I came up with...
