Well, I’m not afraid to admit stupity. Sometimes it just takes a little more brain power than other times. lol When thinking offline it sometimes takes me longer to make the connections.
I’ve been wanting an offline VA. Seriously, I have had no idea how to find one, but I’ve really wanted one. But how do you go about finding someone, then trusting them to come in to your house? That’s going to take some serious time and even then I’m not sure.
Then I had a total epiphany. Why am I not using my kids? I’m not talking about slave labor here, but using the internet skills I teach them?
I’ve taught them a lot about research. I also want them to take over any internet empire I create. It seems only right at 13 and 11 that I teach them even more. DUH!
My son at 11 is all over it. My 13, almost 14, daughter is on vacation for another week.
But my goal is to help them go through my inventory in the extra bedroom. I’ll teach them how to take the pics. I’ll teach them how to put up killer descriptions. I’ll especially teach the oldest how to do some html. I’d have to teach someone anyway, this only makes since. Now I can work on a percentage only basis. My son already signed up for a perecentage and he doesn’t know what that means.
But considering how much is in the extra bedroom, umm, they could seriously make a lot this summer. lol I’m so happy I thought of it. I’d much rather pay the kids to help out then find someone else. This cures three things. Cleaning extra bedroom, keeping them from boredom, and getting them extra spending money.
Well before I read to far down I was going to suggest some local high school kids but lookey that, you’ve got pre-teens right in your house!
I’ve been wanting to get my 7 year old to work for me but I think he’s still to young, lol, he can’t even type yet.
Yes, lucky enough they can type and all that.
I really need to give my daughter some of my notebooks of started and even finished articles and have her type them into docs for me. I know she wants more money for clothes shopping before high school anyway.
