So you’ve read all the books on getting organized. You’ve attended seminars, listened to tapes, set countless goals to get organized, and you are still looking at an overwhelming pile of clutter that you can’t seem to get anywhere with.

Have you always want to re-read Pride and Prejudice,...

I get a LOT of questions from new virtual assistants on how to market their services. Many people entering this industry simply do not have an advertising budget, nor do they know where to go to find clients. One place you can begin is on Craigslist. Why? One excellent reason is that Craigslist is currently the 7th most visited website in the world. At this time, Yahoo is in the number one slot. Craigslist...

I recently discovered Zemanta which is a nifty little blogging tool that saves you time, brings more traffic to your blog and makes your post more aesthetically pleasing.  It is like having a little personal assistant sitting at your elbow while you blog.  When I first became aware of it, I largely ignored the tool as it was a Firefox addon and I generally only use Firefox for testing during website...
