A Social Media Widget to add to your Virtual Assistant Toolbox.

As I have discussed in previous posts, Social Media Marketing is a rapidly growing niche for Virtual Assistants to tap into. Some Virtual Assistants are positioning themselves as Social Network Specialists for busy clients who want to leverage the power of Social Media, but simply do not have the time.

I came across this cool social media widget on Internet Girl Fridays’ Virtual Assistant website. This particular Social Media Widget enables you to present all your social network profiles in own location on your website or blog.

While this widget is great for showcasing your many Social Network Profiles, I do think it would be ideal for those of you who are seeking to add Social Network Profile Set-Up and Management services to your VA portfolio. It could serve as a nice marketing tool to prospective clients interested in expanding their exposure and business presence through the Social Networks. You would be able to showcase the quality profiles you have set-up for your own business and in turn give them a taste of what they could expect if they were to hire you to set-up and manage their online Social Profiles.

Again, most businesses simply do not have the time to effectively manage and update their Social Network Profiles, so a most excellent “in-demand” service for a Virtual Assistant!

Managing your Social Network Profiles Just Got Easier!

Now, I know that many of you are Twitterers, Facebookers, or have Linkedin Profiles. I don’t know about you, but it is becoming increasingly more challenging to manage and update the many Social Media Accounts we all currently have.

Well, there is hope. There are three great web tools worth checking out that offer a one-stop solution to managing all your social media accounts – phew!!!

FriendFeed and Tabber are Social Media Aggregator tools that allow you to manage and update your accounts in one easy location. Some of you may be offering “Online Presence Management” services to your clients in which you set-up and manage their many different social network profiles. Well, Tabber and FriendFeed will simplify your life by allowing you to track and update your own social media accounts as well as your clients in one user-friendly platform.

Check out this great post: Managing your Social Network Connections from One Location - Blogger, Nora Rubinoff provides a nice comparison between Tabber and FriendFeed.

In addition, the Social Media Browser, Flock, is another great way to stay in tune with all your social network connections. Flock is an actual browser that allows you to monitor sites like Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, Blogger and many others. Flock is a great tool, but presently, does not service a few key business networks like Linkedin as well as top social media news sites such as Digg and Stumbleupon.

Gotta love Web 2.0 Technology – simple web apps that enhance your productivity and reduce your time spent networking!
