In 2004, Bar JD Communications began offering virtual
administrative assistance for clients who were not located nearby.
Virtual Assistance was a beginning field which has grown with amazing speed.
As the numbers of virtual assistants grew, the niche specialties of many
began to materialize. Then, the niches began to change.
That change has been true for Bar JD Communications.
While I enjoy
the administrative side of any office, I am focusing on:
Blog Whispering,
Nurture Marketing for Clients, including Email
Services, Direct Mail, Social Media Consulting and Strategy, plus
WordSmithing (copy
writing).
I live and work in the Midwestern United States with a fully equipped
office. I work best with people who:
Have English
as a first language
Have a dry
sense of humor
Can make
decisions
Can pay me.
My work style is often one of teaching. I want a couple things to
happen with a client relationship.
I want the client to be able to do the task or at least comprehend how
it is done. You will have greater appreciation for what I do for you
if you know it isn't all magic.
I love to empower clients to be able to do some things for
themselves or assign the easier tasks to staff currently on the payroll.
That is simply good business. I can do these things; I might
be more expensive than the receptionist. Should there come a time
for a client relationship to move on, i want you to know how to stay
alive in business, not crash because I knew all the secrets.
I am a real person who likes to work online with my computer.
At the present time, there is only ONE person at BarJD. But, the
potential for a joint venture with someone else who offers
compatible skills is always open.
No matter what the specific 'niche' is for a
virtual assistant or what the specific services offered, the whole
thing works around an older concept of working remotely. With
the technology of the Internet, remotely has expanded from someone
who works at home or in separate office offering side services.
The field has moved from typical scenarios such as your bookkeeper
or your transcriber.
Now you need a:
- Website
- Web copy
- Articles, white papers, blog posts, thin blog
posts
- Analysis of ways you can market online
- Nurture Marketing
- Email services
- Direct mail
- Social Media
- Assistance with the technology your office uses.
Is it really practical to hire someone to come to your
office every day to keep all of this up? You want
someone who KNOWS what she/he is doing. Usually someone like
that doesn't want to be on call to drop in part time as an
employee. Fortunately, as our economy changes and our
technology expands, the people available who can perform
these tasks are figuring out how to offer them in small
bites for more than one person. No longer employees,
but entrepreneurs serving multiple clients instead of one
employer. The virtual process is one that makes a great deal
of sense in today's business world.
When an item of information or product is promoted on our website,
I have
looked it over and recognized the value therein. If the I
rave about an e-book, that is because I'm excited about it.
You'll see reviews of books written by virtual assistants who have
observed things people can use to increase their potential. These
generous people could be coy about the things they know which you don't
know. But, among all other careers, I've seen more 'go-givers' in
the virtual field than many other places.
