Virtual Business Practices

The Value of a Word Press Blog Site for Virtual Assistants

Here is another business challenge posted by one of our VAClassroom subscribers last week: “Ongoing difficulties in website maintenance and updates”

As a Virtual Business Owner, the last thing you want to be doing is logging unnecessary time doing ywebsite maintenance and updates. This is why I 100% recommend using a Word Press Blog for your website! Word Press is one of the most user-friendly and feature rich tools for updating website content as well as audio, video and images.

There are a few primary benefits for choosing a Word Press Blog over a standard site for your Virtual Assistant business:

  • Google (and other major SEs) LOVE blogs as you will most definitely see faster exposure in the Search Engines then over a regular static site. Of course, it is essential to continually add new and relevant content to your blog site to keep your Search Engine listings strong. 
  • Blogs can position you as an authority and enable you to publish content in your areas of interest or expertise. For example, ou might write blog posts on productivity tips, time-saving business tools, or creating a stress-free work life. Internet Business Owners like myself might find these posts appealing. So, the key to a successful blog is to write content that appeals to the audience you target.
  • Blog is an ideal avenue for connecting with prospective clients. The beauty of blogging is facilitating two-way communication with your audience as they share feedback and comments on your blog posts. That allows valuable dialogue and a natural way to connect with prospective clients who may be interested in your specific skills and services.

Also, there are now some very compelling and cool blog designs and formats to chose from. Check out this blog site design from the company that will actually be doing the design for VAClassroom Contest winner.
