Did you wish your admin staff a happy Admin Day yesterday? If not, you still have time as it is currently Administrative Professionals Week.
Don't have any admin staff but still doing the work? Contact us to see how a Virtual Assistant can help.

Improving my email marketing
At the beginning of the year I set myself various targets that I wanted to achieve in my business and one of them was to improve my email marketing campaign.
I decided that I wanted to take my newsletter to the next level and start using a paid subscription service to distribute it. I set a timescale of achieving this goal in April so that my May newsletter will go out with the new service.
So far I have signed up with AWeber as they seem the best 'fit' with what I want to achieve and I know a few colleagues who use it and recommend its service. I would be interested to hear other people's comments on AWeber - please post a comment.
Are you utilising this important marketing facility in your business? If not, I suggest you consider it to see how this can improve your sales. Concerned that you don't have time to manage and maintain a newsletter - hire a Virtual Assistant.
Until next time,

The joy of being your own boss
One of the reasons I wanted to be my own boss and start a business was so that I could determine when I worked and who I worked with. Now fair enough, this can mean working long hours, weekends and not switching off - but the rewards are well worth it!
Why, I will give you a couple of examples:
My husband and I own a caravan so that we can take regular holidays whenever we feel like it and also take our beloved 2 dogs with us. We decided to go away for the Easter break and went to a great site in Malvern for 5 days. I took work with me and my O2 XDA device which enables me to send and receive emails from anywhere - therefore I had a relaxing break with my family but also did some work.
Yesterday, my 19 week old daughter Megan had her 3rd set of immunisation injections which meant she was very clingy and miserable for the rest of the day. Now working for myself, I got to spend time with my daughter to soothe her and didn't feel guilty about it as I just did any necessary work when she was asleep - perfect for us both!
I would love to hear other peoples comments on their experiences of being their own boss - please comment.
