Alright, I have a VA and I am now outsourcing. I have been friends with my VA for years, she is actually a biz partner on Mom Chat’s. I say this because it is obvious that I do not have any trust issues. We have a joint paypal account for goodness sakes and she has just about every log in I own. Again, I must say, we’ve been friends for a few years so don’t go thinking this is a good idea to do with just anyone.
Yes, I understand that it won’t get better. It’s only going to get worse. As my sites get more popular the spam goes up. I understand this, but good grief I get over 300 emails in my spam folder a day. Not to mention the spam I have to go through on my blogs.
Yes, I have spam blockers on the blogs, and very good one’s. But I need to go through and double check that there isn’t a real comment in the mix from a new user. Of course, going through 100’s of spams a week on Busy Momma Wellness’s blog takes time. I guess this is honestly something I should put for my VA to do. See why I blog? I can talk things out and find a quick solution. lol
Training the VA. I know I just posted about it, but I also emailed her. This is why the fact that my VA is a good friend works wonderfully. I’ve told her to ride me until I give her work because I need stuff done and I have the paypal to cover it. lol
Well she’s doing it now because she knows it helps me as well. I have two big ebook campaigns that need to go out. The autoresponders need to be loaded, the pages put up and built, and everything needs to be unique to me of course. Thankfully I surround myself with people that are adapt at graphics because I am so inept.
I love having my VA, she completes things quicker than I can because she is focused on that one assignment I need done. But lately my problem is that I need my VA to go through my list and make up her weekly work list. lol
My internet has been wacky for months now and I just hate calling customer service for things like this. Who has time to sit on the phone and talk to a tech for an hour or so? But this has made me be very far behind. My dsl clicks off and on at will, sometimes it will be on for 30 seconds at a time and sometimes for hours with no problems. Makes it very difficult to finish tasks online all at once. I never know how much time I will have to complete a project.
