Hurry get your Free Virtual Assistant Website

Posted on December 16, 2011 by admin

Having a presence on the Internet for your Virtual Assistant Business is important, any successful Virtual Assistant will promote their services and skills online for potential employers to read.

In addition to registering with the Virtual Assistant Website/Directory it’s a good idea to create your own Website. If you want a Website but cant afford to pay for one then Google Sites is an easy way to create your own FREE Virtual Assistant Website with your own domain name (web address).

Anyone with a Google Account or Gmail Account can create a FREE Website for their Virtual Assistant Business – Signing up with Google is Free.  You can do so in the top right hand corner of the Google homepage. Once logged in to your Google Account – Go To – Sites – and follow the prompts.

Quick Facts about Free Google Sites for your VA Business:

Single-click page creation
Creating a new page for your Virtual Assistant Website just takes the click of a button.

No HTML required
Creating a website for your VA business is as easy as editing a document, which means there’s no markup language for you to learn — just get started.

Make it your own
Google’s customisation options let you create your VA Business website with your own look and feel. You can even have your own website address (custom URL).

Get started with templates
You can create different types of pages for your Virtual Assistant Website based on the google templates  –  page types include plain web pages, announcement pages, file cabinet pages, dashboard and list pages.

Upload files and attachments
Use the file cabinet page to upload files up to 10MB in size. Each Google account receives at least 10GB of storage in Google Sites.

Embed rich content
Google enables you to create a Virtual Assistant Website that is integrated with other Google products, so you can insert videos, docs, spreadsheets, presentations, photo slide shows, and calendars directly onto your new Virtual Assisant Google Website pages.

Work together and share
Google’s permission settings let you designate owners, viewers and collaborators (meaning they can edit pages) for your VA website.
And you can make your site available to just a few people, or your entire client list/collegues or the world.

Search with Google
Because your Virtual Assistant Website has been created through Google sites it will get indexed with google making it easy for you and others to search for pages and documents.  Mapping your site to your own URL – Adding your own URL (Domain Name) to your free Google Site

If you would like your Virtual Assistant Website to appear under a custom domain URL that you control, such as www.example.com.au (or any other URL), you can have your Website appear at that URL by going through a process known as mapping your site. Then, as people navigate your VA Website, they will remain on www.example.com.au unless they click an external link.

To do this change your CNAME record:

Depending on your domain registrar, you may need to make changes to your CNAME record in order for your site to be mapped:

Sign in to the site where you control your own site with custom URL.

Navigate to your Domain Name Server (DNS) management page. The location and name of this page varies by host, but can generally be found in the Domain Management or Advanced Settings section.

Find the CNAME settings and in the section ‘CNAME value or alias,’ enter the sub-domain you’d like to map the URL to. The sub-domain for www.example.com would be www.

Set the CNAME destination to the following address: ghs.google.com

Save your changes with your domain host.

The Virtual Assistants who get a competitive advantage

Posted on November 8, 2011 by admin

In a recent study business leaders where asked what will be the single biggest change their organisation will go through in the next ten years. [Canon Report - "Change or be left behind"].

43 per cent of business leaders overwhelmingly said that technological advancements were top of the list. This was over and above other areas such as general company changes, people changes and wider economic/legislative changes

The main message from the study was that business leaders’ felt they would be left behind if they don’t address it.  Not only will technology be the biggest change that organisations go through, it was also ranked highly among respondents as to the main reason behind why change occurred in Australian businesses in the first place.

Virtual Assistants who can assist employers to use technologies that will help them gain better efficiencies will have a competitive advantage.

Virtual Assistants and Employers can keep abreast of technology changes here.

iTunes also has many free podcasts available to download that Employers and Virtual Assistants will find useful. The podcast below is one example.

ABC Digital Living Podcast – Digital Living is a weekly segment on Gadgets
