Making Good Use Of Social Media Sites


Twitter, Facebook, Linkedin and Pinterest are at the top of the Social Media revolution. Most people are leery about social sites and carry the belief that they are limited to comments, status updates and randomly following celebrities around. I got news for you there not!

All these sites can be used for job hunting, networking, keeping up with trends and can be very informative on millions of topics. They are also great research tools. All in all these top Social Media platforms offer you a way to connect with friends, family and reach out to target markets.

I encourage all of you to make good use of these online tools especially if your trying to break into the “Independent Contractor” job market. Independent Contractors can easily locate work and secure clients using Social Media.

Keep track of all your Social Media feeds in one place using an online Dashboard. There are several to choose from examples are TweetDeck, HootSuite and Netvibes.

We will be sure to post an article featuring those Dashboards in a future blog post. Stay tuned for more!



How Does a VA Benefit Your Company?


Essentially we become an asset instead of a liability. You no longer have to incur the extra cost of expenditures. No office equipment upkeep and maintenance costs. No more paying for a full days work if you only need someone for a few hours. You no longer have to worry about employee benefits, WSIB claims, absences.

By hiring an Independent Contractor you free up your time so that you can concentrate on what’s more important.
