Because Virtual
Assistants are insatiably curious, we're usually among the first people to
discover some really amazing tools that allow us to streamline our business
processes and work with our clients more efficiently.
I'm happy to share with
you some my favorite online programs. Click, browse, test drive (most for free)
and enjoy them as much as I do!
-
Audio Acrobat.
With Audio
Acrobat, you can record audio notes, convert audio files, record telecalls and
edit them inside your favorite editor. You can even publish the content on
your website as an e-mail link or as a download for MP3.
-
Aweber.
I use Aweber with
several of my clients to send out their e-mail newsletter. I've found that
it's one of the best solutions to ensure that my clients' e-mail broadcasts
actually arrive in the e-mail inboxes of their subscribers.
-
Big Contacts.
This Web-based
contact management software allows you to organize your important contact
information in a single view, easily coordinate and manage multiple calendars
online, and effectively manage your sales pipeline online. Provides real-time
access to information. It's a true "Mobile Office" solution for those who
travel. For example, you can make Skype phone calls directly from your
computer and it works with any Web enabled phone.
-
Eventbrite.
An online way to
advertise your events, send invitations to mailing lists and monitor the
activity as your registrations roll in.
-
GoToMyPC.
If you work from
a desktop and a laptop, you can really utilize this program. You can log onto
your desktop from your laptop or vice versa from anywhere (as long as you have
an Internet connection). You can also transfer files from one computer to the
next. I use it to access my some of my clients' computers.
-
introLinks.
The introLinks
Network is the result of an ongoing effort to build a complete and concise
Internet Directory consisting of local businesses and resources. Our mission
is: To spur the local economy by introducing local internet users to the
businesses and resources in their area.
-
MailChimp.
A list management
system with the ability to create campaigns, use segmented lists, create
scheduled autoresponders, and works with Eventbrite and Survey Gizmo.
MailChimp has a smoother import process than some other list management
systems.
-
Mimeo.com.
The innovator of
online, on-demand document printing, binding and distribution for businesses
and individuals. Mimeo.com offers paper stocks, customized tabs and slip
sheets, and prints Word, PowerPoint, Quark, Excel, PDF, bound, unbound and
illustrator type documents. Users can update and store documents in Mimeo's
online library.

website with PowWeb is easy and affordable. Their simple "One Plan" package
offers a complete All-in-One hosting solution with plenty of disk space,
bandwidth and additional features. All sites reside on their "Load Balanced
Technology" Platform.

This Web-based
work management and collaboration tool enables you to track and organize work,
use a template, share with collaborators, set alerts and reminders, track
discussions, view change history, and create summary reports. With Smartsheet,
you can also attach, share and send files.
-
Snagit.
This "can't live
without" tool enables you to grab screen shots of Web pages that you can use
in documents or on your websites. Snagit makes it very easy to capture part of
a screen, drop-down menus, whole Web pages (rather than just the bits you can
see on the screen), images and irregular shapes. The application is very
intuitive, and the basics can be learned in just a few minutes of trial and
error.
-
TimeDriver Appointment Scheduler.
This program is a
personal appointment scheduler that works with Outlook and Google Calendar. It
lets you offer appointments to clients by putting a schedule link in e-mail
messages and on Web pages. Appointments flow into your calendar automatically.
Groups:

hospitality, hotel, restaurant, wine and related industries.

 After
three plus years working with Lisa Englert and virtualme, my business has grown

important. If you are looking for dependable, reliable, capable help to provide
the support services virtually while you focus on what's important to grow your
