Once a Week Newsletter #18 – Virtual Assistants, Trends, and Content Repurposing

Once a Week Newsletter #18

Welcome to another edition of the Once a Week Newsletter! This is Number 18.

But before we get started, how in the heck are you? Up here in the Pacific Northwest, it's cold and rainy. By this time, there should be snow on the ground. There is, but not here. LOL

My oldest claims that it always snows the day of the Super Bowl. So looking forward to the white stuff on Sunday!

But until then, the forecast is…RAIN! It IS the PNW, after all, and the rainy season, also called every month except August and September, is here. It just hasn't been cold enough to snow yet.

I hear the Northeast is getting their share and our share this year. I guess that's okay. The kids miss the snow play.

It really makes no difference to me, except that, right now, I don't have any snow to shovel. I never understood how anybody actually liked doing that.

Alright, are you ready? Let's get it on!

How to Become a Virtual Assistant And Work on Your Own Terms
Wanted to help top entrepreneurs grow their businesses while working with flexibility? Becoming a virtual assistant may be the path for you and here’s how to get started.

Bottom line: I have a number of clients who need virtual assistants. This is a freelance job that is perfectly suited for the work-from-home crowd (which is nearly all of us now during the Forever Pandemic).

Chasing the cool kids
Quick! Get on Myspace, it's where all the good stuff is. Wait! Better build your following on Facebook. It's a land rush and once you amass enough followers…hell build your own virtual real estate.

Bottom line: I've said a million times in my emails to you, my old Meetups, and right here on the blog that you should never be a sharecropper. That is to say, own your own assets. Don't rent them. Build them, improve them, and watch them grow in value. NOBODY but nobody can take away what you've built on your own virtual real estate.

Get More Out of Your Content with Amy Woods: Content Repurposing 101
Content repurposing is the act of creating content for multiple communication channels. But getting it right can be tricky.

Bottom line: Another thing I've reiterated over the decades is repurposing your content. You give a lot to your content – it should give back to you. This newsletter is a perfect example: I post it here first, then I send it out to my OWN subscribers. It's also plastered over the social media channels that are important to me.

Put All Your Eggs in One Basket!

But not just ANY basket. You may have noticed that Facebook was down for a L – O – N – G time today. So was Instagram, Messenger, and WhatsApp (all Facebook apps, or “crapps,” as I call them – LOL). To most of the world, this would bother them. It certainly bothered some heavy FB advertising folks. I suspect the real loss today was in the billions. FB stock lost about $50 billion in market cap. OUCH. But the real question is this: Did it affect you? Did it affect your business? If it did, is there anything you can do to mitigate future losses? The answer is a resounding “YES!”  I've harped on this and at you for over a DECADE now – OWN your own real estate. Don't be a sharecropper. When you run your business on another company's platform, their demise could be yours as well. Plus, they can kick you off their platform at any time for any reason. Just ask former President Trump. (Not to be political, but FB and YouTube kicked him off their plat...

The Future of Marketing

Seth Godin talks with Copyblogger's Brian Clark about the future of marketing. From the article: “If you’ve been paying attention to the world of work, the news is unavoidable. Everyone is bracing for a tech-induced transformation — and it’s already started. “As a solo or small business person, technology allows you to do things that used to require scores of employees and tons of capital — and that ability will accelerate with AI. But it’s the human being at the center of it all that will ultimately determine if you succeed or fail.” There is no doubt that technology's rapid advances will affect marketing in a profound way. Rather than fear change, though, one should embrace it. Big things are (always) about to happen. Get in front of it and ride the wave!
