VIRTUAL NEWS YOU CAN USE
1) WANT to WRITE better SALES COPY? Last week we had a very informative webinar with Steve Slaunwhite on COPYWRITING and how to add this new revenue stream to your VA business. Most VAs work with clients who frequently need copywriting help. These clients need web pages, press releases, sales letters, blog posts, brochures and other marketing materials written. If you can offer this service to your clients, you can increase your income substantially. Steve Slaunwhite teaches you what you need to know to add “copywriting” as a new revenue stream, get copywriting work from your clients, and write effective copy.
We had fantastic feedback from this webinar so I’ve decided to share it for everyone to listen to so everyone can enjoy:

Steve offered our members $100 discount off his Secrets of Strategic Copywriting Course which I’m taking right now and learning how to fine tune my sales pages! Take advantage of this limited time offer now.
2) COOL VACLASSROOM OFFER: Access the Virtual Events Specialist and Camtasia Training Program Together!
It is evident that Virtual Events Support and Management will be one of the hottest niches in 2010. The stats are revealing of how many businesses are shifting their focus to delivering all types of Virtual Events to their different audiences. The problem is that the bulk of these businesses lack the skills, knowledge and time to effectively set-up and implement their Virtual Events. This is where you will come in!
Craig Cannings along with co-instructor Michelle Schoen had the opportunity to chat about the state of Virtual Events in 2010.
You can access this 18 minute interview as well as all the details on this new program by going to the below link.
PLUS, VAClassroom is offering a special course bundle package (Just for May) that includes both the Virtual Events Specialist Program as well as the new Camtasia Video Training for VA course together for one special price. Camtasia is the most widely used video and screencast production software on the web and will be a perfect compliment to your Virtual Events Training. Enrol today and receive two high calibre training programs at a $150 savings!
This special bundle offer will be available until the end of May 2010 so grab your seat now.

4) I’m scouting out Virtual Assistants who’d like to share their business experiences/skills/niches and speak at our upcoming VAvirtuosos Seminar Series. If you’ve got something to tell/teach your business colleagues to help their VA business succeed, why not step up to the podium and share? It’s a simple way to gain experience speaking to an online audience through a webinar environment if you’ve been thinking about doing some public speaking as a side line income.
VAinsider Club MotiVAtor
Are you true to yourself? Is your business a reflection of the true you or is it something that is a reflection of what others think it should be. Oftentimes we take steps in our business because it is the “natural” next thing to do, but not always will that be the right step for you. Remember one thing…it is YOUR business and it can be anything you want it to be. A true reflection of you, your beliefs and your dreams.
Your VAinsider Club membership starts at only $7/mth. Not much to pay nowadays to help your business get the upper hand in the virtual service world.

Topic: How to Make a Website With WordPress {Which, by the way, is FREE!}
Presented by: Angela Wills
Topic Summary: Ever since I started making blogs AND websites with WordPress back in 2006 I’ve never looked back. After going through learning code by hand, trying out tons of programs and becoming frustrated with my options I feel in love with WordPress and the power it holds. It’s not just for blogging.
This webinar will cover the basics of what you need to make a website with WordPress, including choosing a host, getting set up, what to look for in a theme, some cool plugins and more. WordPress design, updates and maintenance is also in high demand as an outsourced skill.
I’m on a mission to show you how free doesn’t always mean ‘no value’, especially when it comes to WordPress!

WEEKEND FREEBIE:
I’ve got two freebies for you this weekend…
1) I’ve been on a health kick lately and recently met up with Simla Somturk at a conference this spring. She highly motivated me to have a deeper look at my health regime if I wanted to sustain working profitably for many years to come.
Until the end of May only, Simla is offering her initial consultations for F R E E if you’ve been hiking up the same path as me lately finding ways to improve your health. Head over to her website and click on her Contact link for your consult. She also has a complimentary report on “17 Delicious Health Tips That Can Change Your Life” that you can download there as well.

2) Did you get your F R E E blueprint yet?
The other day I told you about the NO-CHARGE Quick Start Blueprint that will help you get your business moving in the right direction, and I wanted to make sure that you had a chance to pick up your copy.
