Are you just getting started or are you in the process of rebranding and you need a website or a new website to help give your business that online presence or much needed facelift?

Creating a website can be a very daunting task for those who do not know the ins and outs of web design. Yes there are many great platforms out there that are user friendly, and even free. The template sites are okay, but they are not as customizable as a WordPress site. Having someone create / design your WordPress site will not only save you valuable time which will save you money, but will also give you a clean and professional looking site to match your branding guidelines.

Alyssa Avant is a professional speaker, trainer, and business owner. Alyssa has been working virtually since 2007. She has years of experience working with online professionals and business owners. She is passionate about sharing her knowledge with others so they can avoid the years of trial and error that she experienced as a new online business owner.

Through my faith, my personal victories and losses, my struggles with finding my place in this world after many years of caregiving and marriage that ended in divorce. Learning to live as a single parent, as a person whose role is no longer the caregiver to now being an independent entrepreneur who has learned and is still learning to take the bull by the horns and live the life I was meant to live.

I hope all of you will celebrate this moment with me. You all know how difficult it is for any new business just to make it past their first year and businesses like mine that faced so many obstacles out of the gate find it even more difficult to keep going.

When I first started I had a $1 and some change in my bank account. I had a used laptop, used printer (that was ducted taped together or it wouldn’t print), desk, chair, and bare bones business supplies. I’m a single mom and this is my income. I did not and do not have another job. With two children, house, car, house full of pets, and the typical expenses we all have it was especially important if I started this business that it succeed.

I’ve worked very hard, many long hours to the point of exhaustion at times. Now don’t get me wrong I’m not complaining. Just telling you where I’m coming from.

I’m so thrilled to be celebrating two years this month and I just wanted to share it with everyone. Especially with those of you that follow me, subscribe to my lists, who connect with me on my forums, and even more especially my clients and my team. Without you I would not be celebrating today. You are the backbone of my business and I want to thank you for your loyalty and support. Most of all I want to thank God for allowing me all the riches in this world He has blessed me with.

Thank you! Love You! May God Bless You All!!!

Most websites these days are technically static websites which means that they just sit there with no real fresh content. There are a few things you can do if you have a static site to refresh it and keep that content flowing.

A blog is a good way to provide fresh content and SEO friendly content to your site. Not everyone enjoys writing, but there are some simple things you can do if you don’t like to write that might make all the difference in the world to help you keep fresh content on your site.

Video and/ podcast can be easily recorded and uploaded either directly to your website (depending on your website) or a video or podcast hosting site like YouTube for videos or PodBean for podcasts. (Both are FREE hosting sites). Once you’ve completed your video or podcast you can then have it transcribed and post the video or podcast on your website’s blog along with the transcript.

If you do enjoy writing and want to write your posts that is great. You can also add video or podcast’s to those posts as well if you want. Try to add something new every week or the very least a couple times a month. It can be kind of daunting at first, but just keep practicing at your preferred blogging method and eventually it will become as comfortable as an old pair of Levi’s.

Another great way to add fresh content to your site is to write a monthly newsletter. It doesn’t have to be complicated or long just a little something you put out every month. Only post part of the content on the newsletter and then post the entire article from the newsletter to your blog and link out to your website’s blog from the newsletter.

I am currently writing a weekly tip that I record to video, upload to YouTube, and then embed it on my website along with the transcript. That brings something weekly to my site. Then I write a monthly newsletter with one main article that gets published to the blog (sometimes I have an extra article, but focus on one main article). I email the newsletter with the main article linked out to my blog. I also post the entire newsletter to my website. This brings monthly content to my blog. Then I try to write extra blog posts and upload them as they are done or appropriate. Sometimes I keep the content saved in my ‘not published’ folder to use for a future date.  So I have weekly content, monthly content, and then a few extras here and there.

When I first started I had trouble deciding what to write about or how to write about it. Coming up with topics can be tricky at first for some of us. It was for me, but I read lots of other people’s content. Joined newsletters, read the social forums, and jotted down ideas as I was reading. Then I come back to those ideas at a later date and turn them into some form of content to add to my site.

1. Does someone close to you just have to say one word to make you think, “I can no longer do this,” or you just feel like giving up and walking away?

2. Do you have that one client who just is never happy and makes you question everything about your business?

3. Do you have that one associate, business partner, or other team member who is constantly crabbing about something or just picking you apart and making you doubt yourself or discouraging you in some way?

We all have someone whether it’s a friend, spouse, sibling, client, associate, team member, etc. that will from time to time make us question “OUR WHY” sometimes.

So what can you do to help you overcome these circumstances?

1. Be proactive: being aware of this person and taking steps to deal with it.
a. You can try and discuss the situation with them to come to a resolution.
b. If that doesn’t work you have a choice to make; continue to deal with them and be consciously aware of who they are and what they are capable of and take what they do or say with a grain of salt, or remove them from your life.

2. Have a positive support system in place and use it.
a. Reach out: get in touch with your support system. They can help you to see it for what it is. Bring it into perspective, uplift you, and help you remember “YOUR WHY”.

3. Consider the source: when something happens to derail you immediately remind yourself of the source.

4. REMEMBER YOUR WHY: why are you in business and why do you want to be successful in your business?

I have a few why’s, but my biggest why is my children. What is your why? Why are you in business in the first place? Remember that the next time you get derailed and use it to keep you get back on the track. Please share your experiences with getting derailed in your business, with your solutions to overcome it, and your why? I would love to hear your stories or thoughts!

Did you know you can have your phone conversations and voicemails transcribed?

Is it vitally important for your business to record phone conversations and keep accurate records of all your phone conversations and voicemails? Have a virtual assistant transcribe them for safe keeping and proper storage. Every form of audio-digital recordings has a shelf life. By having a virtual assistant transcribe your recordings you can help ensure that these files are still accessible should the shelf life of your audio-digital recordings expire or something goes awry with your recordings. Also having them transcribed makes it easier to scan and access the content.

And did you know we offer high quality transcription services? Learn more about how transcription with RVO makes our clients more money by simply emailing Rhonda at R.Holscher@RhondasVirtualOffice.com or calling 513.32RVOVA / 513.327.8682
