1. Interaction with fans will increase the likelihood of your posts showing up in that fan’s newsfeed.

2. Encourage people to:

•  Like your posts
•  Comment on your posts
•  Share your posts

3. End your post asking your readers to comment and share with their network.

4. Ask fans to “Tell me how you feel…”

5. Share something about yourself and ask your fans to share something about themselves as well.

6. Encourage fans to ask questions and then be sure to answer them.

7. Ask your fans questions. Questions that ask ‘where,’ ‘when,’ and ‘should’ are more successful at engaging readers than asking ‘why.’

8. Use images to attract your reader’s eye and compel them to read your post.

As we wrap up 2012 and look ahead to what's ahead in 2013, now is a good time to review what you can do in next year to make it the most successful year yet in your virtual assistant business. Here are 3 Quick "C" Tips for success.

1. Consistency - Whatever you do in your business in 2013, be consistent. Create a marketing plan that shares your messages in a regular, consistent manner on a weekly basis. Clients will also appreciate knowing that they can depend on you to be consistent in always getting work done and reply to their inquiries in a timely manner.

2. Collaborate - Don't be afraid to collaborate with your colleagues - particularly if a client asks you to do something you haven't done before. Working with a fellow virtual assistant to provide the best possible service to your client is much better than trying to struggle to learn something you are unfamiliar with. If you need help finding a fellow virtual assistant to collaborate with, contact me at sue@chiefvirtualofficer.com and I will help you find someone - at no charge.

3. Commit - Commit to doing your very best every time. Commit to learning all you can this year to make 2013 your best year ever - even if that means investing in a book, a coach, or additional training. Commit to providing the best possible service to every one of your clients.

These are just 3 Quick Tips for success in your virtual assistant business. For more tips, continue following our blog.

Are you receiving notifications of everything little thing that happens at Facebook? Do you find yourself overwhelmed with emails notifying you of new friends, group requests, and other notifications from Facebook? It's time to take control back!

Go to Facebook when it's convenient for you and do all your catching up at once. Go to your account and change your account setting notifications so that you are not emailed every single time some little thing happens at Facebook.

I just did this and what a difference it made. Now I am not overwhelmed and distracted with all those notifications. I can go in to my account at my convenience and catch up with everything at once - saving me time.
