If you’re looking for innovative ways to promote your business and further establish yourself as an expert in your work at home niche, consider becoming a contributor for FreelanceMom.
The details are here. If you have other ideas for how writers might mutually benefit, I’d love to hear them.
I’ve considered ghost writers and will still consider it, but came to the conclusion that this plan provides more long term benefit to the ‘expert’ than a $10 or $15 payout for an article that you wouldn’t get credit for.
Please, give me your input. I’m really excited about the re-vamp of FreelanceMom and generating a larger community of contributors.

I have always advocated becoming a Virtual Assistant as being an excellent option for women who want to work from home. If you have administrative skills and are web savvy virtual assistance is definitely a viable home business for you to start.
Over the years I have gathered many resources and shared them on the FreelanceMom website. If you are interested in pursuing this niche you can check out the virtual assistant page.
I recently discovered another resource that I highly recommend, the VAClassroom.
VAClassroom.com offers an innovative online training center designed to equip Virtual Assistants with the skills businesses are seeking in 2008 and beyond. VAClassroom.com’s certification programs have been designed in collaboration with professional Virtual Assistants and the entrepreneurs and businesses that regularly hire them.
VAClassroom.com provides a comprehensive ten-module, video-based program called the “Internet Marketing VA Training Certification”. With over 50 videos, a 70-page resource guide, practical quizzes and assignments, a class discussion forum, live coaching and job search resources the skills developed through the IMVA training and certification program will help you win more ideal clients, increase your income and expand your services into a profitable and in-demand niche! In addition, this course provides you with the Internet Marketing know-how that will allow you to effectively promote your own Virtual Assistance practice.
I asked Craig Cannings from VAClassroom for a peek at the materials. He graciously supplied me with a login and I saw for myself how much work they have put into this program.
A lot of women have basic skills that have served them well in brick and mortar offices, but they feel a bit lost when they think about entering the online business world. There are new things to learn, for certain. This program covers a lot of what you might run into in your first assignements as a VA including Internet Marketing Foundations, Web Anayltics, Affiliate Marketing, Search Engine Marketing, Blogging and Social Media and Email Marketing.
The training for all of these things starts with the basics, right at the beginning so don’t feel intimidated. They provide easy to follow, practical videos on how to perform the tasks that you would perform as a virtual assistant.
They are running a special right now where you can save a hundred dollars on membership. It’s still an investment of $197 - but it really looks worthwhile to me. If you decide to join, let us know over on the VA Forums.

The fellows famous from their StomperNet -Going Natural SEO videos. Have come out with an excellent sitebuilder product called
BlinkWeb.
The software lets you build an internet marketing letter type website. I just took a quick look at it after the launch today and there is also blogging and regular website page functionalities as well. You can put up a site for free - but it would need to be a subdomain of blinkweb.com. They give you an option to have your own domain name with it but will charge you hosting fees.
They are offering it free to the first 1000 members so hurry because these guys have a huge list. If you aren’t on that list, btw - get yourself on it because these guys are great and you’ll want to be sure you have their latest insights in your internet marketing arsenal.
Best,
Internet Marketing
