There are many ways to promote a Website. The most common ways are search engine optimization, pay-per-click advertising and email marketing.
Additional methods of marketing include promoting through social sites such as Squidoo, Twitter, WetPaint, Facebook, MySpace, YouTube and a whole host of others.
Another very effective way to promote your site or sites is through article marketing and blogs, and through voice broadcasting, where you can send a prerecorded message out to thousands of targeted prospects in minutes.
With so many ways to promote your Website it can easily become overwhelming trying to do all your marketing yourself. There’s just way too much to do.
And that is where a virtual assistant comes in.
What if you could take 75-95% of your marketing tasks and delegate them to a trained assistant for as low as $5-7/hour?
Notice I said a ‘trained’ assistant.
Which would you prefer? Someone you had to train 100% from scratch, or a virtual assistant who was already familiar with and trained in email and article marketing, blogging, Twitter, Squidoo and more?
When choosing an outsourcing firm, make sure they provide some training for your employee in the essentials of Internet marketing otherwise it’s really not going to be the best match for you.
Internet marketers will always need help…
• Composing and posting articles, emails and blog posts
• Writing and submitting press releases
• Updating Websites with new offers, articles and more
• Creating Squidoo lenses that get ranked high in the search engines
• Adding to their profiles and posts at WetPaint, Facebook and other sites
• Maintaining blogs and responding to blog comments
• Creating and sending voice broadcasts to new prospects and current customers
• Completing marketing and other research
• Replying to customer emails and phone calls and closing sales
• And much more.
Internet marketers will need help with most tasks on their plate, as there’s just too much to do, and many will feel overwhelmed and frustrated – ending up working many late nights and feeling burned out the next day.
If you’re one of the Internet marketers I just described, imagine having a trained, outsourced employee giving you all the Website support you could want — already trained in basic marketing tasks; or, if they lacked a specific training, you could trust them to ‘Google it,’ learn it, and complete the task with little to no intervention on your part.
What if you could actually take a day or two off knowing that ‘all was well’ and that your dutiful assistant was working diligently and effectively to drive traffic and make sales on your behalf?
Imagine the relief, the feeling of satisfaction and the peace of mind of getting things done without doing them yourself.
Imagine the joy of working on the parts of Internet marketing that really TURN YOU ON — the tasks that you enjoy the MOST. Perhaps that’s creating new and exciting offers; perhaps it’s developing new products or joint venture arrangements; perhaps it’s interacting with customers and prospects or learning the latest marketing techniques; perhaps it’s applying the latest marketing tools to improve your traffic and conversions, which you could then share with your assistant who can then implement them for you even more effectively.
Imagine facing a technical issue that stops you dead in your tracks. You describe the problem to your virtual assistant who then posts it to a forum with an army of over 50,000 trained technology experts. Within hours or minutes, a solution is provided and you’re back on track.
Internet marketing can be far easier, far more productive and far less stressful than it’s ever been before — when you finally have someone in your corner helping you.
If you’re having trouble completing your Internet marketing tasks, then stop struggling right now — and get some support. Stop doing everything you’re currently doing yourself and let a trained virtual assistant help you.
Soon you’ll find your traffic booming with keyword-targeted articles all over the Web pointing to your site. You’ll find your blog full of great posts and an abundance of positive reader comments. You’ll find your site visitors engaging you and your business like never before as you build wonderful, lasting relationships with them. As a result, they trust you, value you and buy from you more and more often. You’ll find the number of people following you on Twitter and your blog growing daily with more and more of that those followers are eager to learn and buy more from you, seeing you as an expert in your field. You’ll find that your Internet marketing is functioning more like a well-oiled machine than an old, broken down jalopy struggling to get out of first gear.
So, if you’re feeling tired, frustrated or maybe even on the verge of burnout…
… if you’re struggling to keep up with your endlessly increasing marketing tasks — not getting even half of what you want accomplished…
… And if you KNOW that there MUST be a better, simpler way to really get your marketing rolling… then STOP and let a virtual assistant help you.
You’ll be very relieved and glad you did — and you’ll probably end up wondering what took you so long to hire an assistant in the first place.

Aw, this was a really quality post. In theory I’d like to write like this too – taking time and real effort to make a good article… but what can I say… I procrastinate alot and never seem to get something done.
