Online Reputation Management Guide

No matter what type of business you are in there is always going to be someone talking about you and what you have to offer. That is just the way life is in the business world. This could be a good thing and then again it could be a bad thing. With more and more people looking to the Internet for information about the services they need they might come across negative information.

You need to always stay a step ahead and be aware of what is being said about you.

In my research I came across a website that you might be interested in or at least bookmark for future reference. It is worth your time to take a look and at least be aware of what you can do in the event someone says negative things about you or your business.

As a real estate virtual assistant and one that is well known in the industry I am always making sure that I represent the virtual assistant industry with a positive image and with the utmost integrity.

Most importantly - learn from industry leaders with no precious time away from your home, family or business!

When Your Reputation Is Questioned

The Internet has become a powerful tool in gathering information about anything you want to know, but it has also become a tool for people to use to try to harm a persons intregity as well. It is amazing how one person can sabotage another just based on their anothers opinion or without checking out the facts.

When reading negative things on the Internet, remember these are individuals who hide behind the Internet and feel they are above approach.

I am all for freedom of speech, but use that freedom carefully and before you use your freedom to voice an opinion make sure you have all the facts and documentation to back it up with. If not, you can put yourself in a situation where the damage can turn on you.

Gossip is a form of jealously, in my opinion, and most people thrive on the negative over the positive.

As virtual assistants all we have is our reputation and when someone tries to tarnish that reputation it is a result of one or two things, jealously or envy.

I have been a virtual assistant for over 9 years and I have seen the good and the bad and the one thing I have learned is to always be honest, which is why I have an amazing group of virtual assistants who respect me for what I have done for the virtual assistant and the real estate virtual assistant industry. Not to mention the clients I have had the pleasure of working with and continue to have their respect.

If anyone wants to question my integrity I invite them to contact me personally to discuss my work ethics, honesty or my reputation. Feel free to request my long list of wonderful recommendations. I would be happy to hear from you.

Workshop Date Set - Incredible Referral Marketing Program

I have announced that Send Out Cards is an incredible referral marketing system and I love the fact that I can send a card to ANYONE by just logging into my account www.sendoutcards.com/43114 and create a card to be mailed through the USPS in about 5 minutes or less. It is GREAT and saves me time.

If you're trying to cut your gas expense, this site my help.

Low Gas Prices

Working Smarter - Not Harder!

Everywhere we turn today we are hearing about a negative economy. Gas prices are soaring, groceries are outrageous, prescriptions - well need I say more?

If you find that your company is downsizing - AGAIN and your future is insecure then you might want to look at the virtual assistant industry. We are growing stronger everyday. Take a look at the positives of a virtual assistant.

1. Being able to stay home and raise your family the way you see fit, not someone else. Right here you are saving money by not giving to your child care provider.

2. Save money on gas and maintenance on your vechicle - I cannot tell you how much money I save each week just in this area. Today gas prices in Mineola, Texas is $3.45 per galloon. By working from home you only need to use your car for running errands, take the kids to school and for pleasure. Not to mention doing your part in saving the environment!

3. Time Management - You will save at least 2 hours a day by working from home. What can you do with 2 additional hours per day?

4. Being self-employed is SECURITY - never having to wonder if you are going to get that pink slip. You are in control of your destiny.

I could go on with all the benefits of becoming a virtual assistant, but you get the point. This industry not only provides you with a secure future, but also allows you to run your life the way you see fit.

Even if you have never had your own business, it is not hard to set up as long as you have the right attitude, skills, knowledge and desire. The key is to look for those that are successful in their virtual assistant business and then model your business with the same principals.

Are you ready to take the next step in achieving your goals? Let me know - I would love to hear from you. Kim@KimHughes.com
