Welcome to my newly updated WordPress website! After having built a number of WordPress-based websites for my clients over the last year, I decided it was high time I re-design my own website using WordPress. I was tired of telling people “the cobbler’s kids have no shoes” when explaining why I didn’t have time to update my own website.
I had held off on redesigning my website for a very good reason, actually. I launched my virtual assistance business full-time in April of 2009. I knew that due to the nature of the fluctuating economy and the rapidly-changing nature of online marketing, my business would evolve on a number of levels in the coming months. I wanted to wait until I had had a chance to see which services had the most demand, which types of clients I liked working with the most, and which marketing platforms I most enjoyed, before spending time and energy to create a website that accurately reflected the direction I wanted to go in with my virtual business.
I was as surprised as anyone when my business literally took off overnight! The first week I went out on my own, I had a full roster of clients. Since then, I’ve never had a lack of business. My bigger problem has been learning time management as I balance my ever-expanding workload.
I’m so grateful for all the clients I had the privilege of working with over these first months. You’ve taught me a lot – about you, about me, and about the limitless opportunities for online marketing in this virtual age.
I look forward to expanding my website in coming weeks and months, and to hearing from you!
All my best,
Erin
