Are You Using Virtual Assistants and/or Synnd?

We’re all so ‘busy’ online it’s easy to get behind with the stuff we know we should probably be doing.

One of the things I know I should be doing more of is bookmarking and sharing content.

But the clock ticks so fast for me! Does it for you? Wow the days just fly by and time goes even faster when I’m at my computer.

Maybe you can relate….

Anyway today I just wanted to let you in on something really cool that I’ve started using to get my online content out there more easily.

There’s a lot of talk with home business owners and Network Marketers building online, about ‘VAs.’

Pardon Rachel?

No I’m not being rude… A VA is a Virtual Assistant and in simple terms is a way of outsourcing some of your load to someone else without having to have an employee.

You can pay them by the hour and you can start off with a VA for as little as a couple of hours a week.

They can be used for all kinds of things such as marketing, phone calls, admin, customer service etc.

There are also techie Virtual Assistants who can help you build your websites, blogs and systems. I couldn’t have built my systems without one of those so that’s a must for anyone who is not plugging into someone else’s system.

Some people pay their kids, neighbours or family members whilst others hire people through Virtual Assistant companies locally or overseas.

I’ve been dreaming of a marketing VA for some time but have procrastinated terribly over finding someone.

Meanwhile my teenage daughter seems to be more highly qualified than most adults I know at whizzing around on the computer so we’ve been working together and I’ve been showing her the ropes with online marketing. It’s been a lot of fun and she is getting some great skills!

I’ve heard quite a lot of buzz about ‘SYNND,’ which is a Content Syndication Network created by Charles Heflin. It’s a big hit and many high profile online marketers are using this service.

I was tempted in a few weeks ago and decided to check it out and see if it’s as good as I’ve heard.

I’ve found that you literally can outsource your marketing to 500 people worldwide in a couple of minutes. (Took me longer at first until I figured out what to do!)

The good news is that it is like having a VA who doesn’t need to be spoken to. It’s all automated and even while you sleep you are earning credits for your own marketing by bookmarking other people’s through your computer. (I won’t even try to explain that because it’s mindblowing but they do a good job at Synnd of explaining it.

So far, so good. I’m not spending much time with it at all but if you wanted to go really big with it you could even have a Virtual Assistant doing it for you. Maybe that will be my daughter’s next task! Although to be fair she is a very physically present assistant..

Who is SYNND good for?

Well I think it’s a great asset to those who create a lot of online content and want to spend less time getting it out there and more time creating it.

Business owners who want less employees and like the idea of employing robots!

Time challenged people who really want to leverage their time and output with tools.

Those who are familiar with social bookmarking and understand the power of it.

People who want to develop their Search Engine Optimization and want organic traffic to their sites. (And are doing the work that it entails!)

Who is SYNND maybe not for?

It’s pretty advanced (although there are step by step instructions in a manual) so I wouldn’t recommend it for none techie people or those just starting out. (Unless you get a super techie VA!)

Unless you have an online business other than your MLM I would say you probably don’t need it. (Unless you are really going for it online with lots of content and creating some kind of brand)

I would recommend you get the basic stuff done before you venture into SYNND. A WordPress Blog works best with it.

It’s also not going to be for people who still haven’t figured out how to create effective content. (Focus on that first)

Well I just wanted to share that with you. It’s not for everyone but it is pretty amazing. Technology has come so far – who knows where it will be in a few years.
