A couple of friends and fellow wahms, Nell Taliercio and Melissa Ingold have just launched MOMplrebooks - an awesome membership site especially for mom entrepreneurs. They have put their bright minds together to help moms make passive income easily. If you are not quite familiar with PLR (Private Label Rights) products … read on …

What are PLR’s anyway…

These are products that you are allowed to put your name on as the author and sell as your own product. That’s right, with PLR’s you are actually given permission to sign and even change another person’s work depending on the type of PLR that you purchase.

Why is that so great?

Because, it is the fastest way to creating your own product that there is and it’s a reason to get really excited. Now you can almost instantly have a product of your very own. One that will promote your business, build your brand and make you all of the long term profits.

It drastically cuts the cost and effort required in outsourcing content. Private label content allows you to use solid copy created by a qualified writer at dirt cheap prices to your advantage. This way, you can devote your energies to doing what you do best and put the power of PLR content to work for you at the same time.

Here is a quick list of the perks that come with PLR’s

- Saves you time, effort and aggravation.
- Let’s you build your brand.
- Helps you build your business and reputation.
- You keep all of the credit.
- You keep all of the profits.
- Saves you a ton of money.
- Gives you editorial freedom.
- Provides you with professional results.

And that’s just a few of the reasons that you should be head over heals for PLR products.

Nell and Melissa are actually running an awesome contest where moms can get a chance to get a free lifetime membership to their site - you can learn how to enter the contest by Clicking here!.

I encourage you to check out Momplrebooks - to see what is included in the monthly membership. If you are looking for an easy way to make passive income - this is definitely one solution.

A Virtual Assistant Needs a Website That Sells

One of the most essential and first tools you should consider getting when beginning you Virtual Assistant business is a website. Your website is your virtual ‘home’, and should be an important part of your marketing plan. Your potential clients will want to know as much about you as they can find out before speaking to you in person.

While it’s true a large amount of your client base will come from referrals, you can be sure they’ll ask for a website address when considering margin contact.

As you design your site (or have someone design it for you), put yourself into the position of a potential client. What would someone want to know about you, your business and your services? Make sure you provide full contact information that’s easy to find - you’d be amazed how many people build a great site but leave no way to be contacted.

Your website will need a few key components that potential clients will be on the lookout for:

Contact Info:
As mentioned previously this should be easy to find so when people want to hire your services, they can!

Services:
Virtual Assistants provide a wide range of services so when people come to your website they will want to know what services you can provide. Have a clear, detailed list of what you are proficient at and explain the details if not obvious.

Rates:
This is a personal preference. Many VAs post there rates wile many others do not. Of course this may be a benefit for when someone is price shopping, but if you prefer to charge on a project-by-project basis (as I do) this may not work for you.

Portfolio:
If you do any web design or graphics work a portfolio is a must. People want to see examples of your work before paying you to do something for them. If you do things like sales letters and ghostwriting , having a portfolio of completed work is also a very good idea.

About You :
Your clients are not only buying your services, they are buying into a relationship with YOU. Let them know who you are and why you can be trusted to hold a portion of their business in your hands.

Policies and Privacy:
With all the privacy and internet safety issue out there you want to assure your visitors that their information is safe with you and always will be. Spell out your policies on collecting email addresses, collecting payments, work confidentiality, etc.

Testimonials:
Ok, so you’ve got up a great website with everything mentioned previously. Does that mean your visitors will trust you? Probably not. You see, they have no way of knowing what quality your work is or even if you’re a real professional running an actual business. Testimonials help to prove your credibility by showing that you have satisfied clients who are happy to sing your praises.

Now that you’ve learned some of the essential elements of a Virtual Assistant’s website, go back and have a look at your website (if you have one) and see if you are missing anything. If you don’t have a website yet then print this article out and use it as a checklist while your site is being developed to make sure you have used every advantage to create a site that sells your services!

Once you have your virtual assistant website up now you’ll need to go out and find your first clients! Visit Online VA Profits today to grab your 24 Hour VA Profits Special Report.

I’m often asked what a mom can do from home if she wants a business, but wants to have the benefit of a paycheck. My answer to that is get into a service based business. These businesses are a great option for moms who want to be paid hourly/per project or typed line, but wants the freedom a business offers instead of working a job.

My answer to the mom who wants to put her typing skills to good use and create a profitable and successful service based business is to start a transcription business. And with transcription you have two options.

1. Medical Transcription

Or

2. General Transcription

With medical transcription you’ll need an education in medical terminology and will need some type of experience in order to grow a successful business.

But, general transcription requires much less. You don’t need any specialized training, education, or experience. You simply need a desire to type, the ability to type what you hear, and a decent typing speed.

Of course when you’re building a business you’ll need more than just the skills of the trade. You’ll need to know how to build and grow your business into the successful money maker you want, too.

If you want to help cut your learning curve in half I recommend buying the Transcription Starter Pack by Nell Taliercio. She has recently reduced the price from $24.95 to only $17.47.

When you purchase the learning product you’ll receive the following:
