My day started with a phone call from a potential team member. After our discussion, we decided she will become a member of RJ’s Word Processing Services team. Then I received a RFP, which I will subcontract to one of my current team members if I get the project. We communicated via several e-mails regarding the RFP. We also use IM for communicating, but not today. Next, I received another phone call from another potential team member. Then I had to type up a contract for the new team member. Next, I began putting together the proposal for the RFP. My day ended with a phone call from a potential client on the east coast. I’m on the west coast. Because of technology and the Internet, this is a typical day in the life a Virtual Assistant; at least, for this Virtual Assistant.

When creating an advertising message, it is important that you know who you are talking to. Do you know who your target audience is? If you don’t know, you are not maximizing your advertising and/or marketing efforts.
A member of the target audience influences the purchasing decision and/or the person who makes the purchase. The person who makes the purchase is also a member of the target market. For example, when McDonald’s creates an advertising message, it is directed at their target audience, as well as their target market. Children are the target audience and their parents are the target market. Therefore, McDonald’s strategy is to target both groups.
Do you know who you are talking to?

I have been dragging my heels in regards to becoming a blogger. Due to its growing popularity and becoming a great publicity tool, I’m jumping on the bandwagon. I am a Virtual Assistant and owner of RJ’s Word Processing Services. I specialize in word processing services, in addition to other offerings. Please visit www.rjswordprocessing.com/services.html for a list of services I offer.
I also have a degree in Marketing from Arizona State University. When I graduated from ASU in 1998, blogging was not a marketing or publicity tool. In addition, I don’t consider myself to be a writer. From my research of blogging, I discovered that it is not necessary to be a writer in order to be a blogger. Everyone has something to talk about. Why not write about it.
I will continue my ride on the bandwagon of bloggers to see where it will take me. If you are a small business owner and/or Virtual Assistant still standing on the sidelines, your competition are becoming bloggers. As a marketer, I suggest you join me on the bandwagon of bloggers and start blogging.
