Welcome to My Blog

Hi There,

This is Lauren McMullen and I am Your Internet Marketing & Social Media Marketing VA. I am very excited about the start of my new Web Site and Blog, Time Finder 4 You. If you are a coach, speaker, author, consultant or any other solo-entrepreneur who wants to develop an online presence so you can connect with your target market I can help. My goal is for you to create a successful and sustainable online business which still allows you to have time to spend with family and friends. I want you to work less time while you make more money doing what you love to do.

Before we go any further let me give you a definition of the term VA or Virtual Assistant from Wikipedia. Virtual Assistants are entrepreneurs who provide professional administrative, technical, or creative (social) assistance to clients from their home office. They usually work for other entrepreneurs or small businesses. Common modes of communication include the Internet, email, cell phones and phone conferencing, online work spaces, and fax machines. Professionals in this business work on a contractual basis and long lasting cooperation is the goal.

In today’s economy, more and more people are turning to the Internet because of the huge numbers of prospects available at very reasonable cost. Online you have potential access to millions of people at any given time. With social media networking you can find your target market and speak directly to them. After you develop a relationship with your prospects and they learn to know, like and trust you they quite possibly will begin doing business with you.

This is a gigantic paradigm shift for people of my generation. The consumer is now the one in control. They decide to listen to you based on the value of what you provide. I am sure you have heard about Blogging and other social media channels such as Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn but maybe you don’t quite understand how the process works for business. In a nutshell, you develop a relationship with a group of people in your target market. In the course of your conversations you provide relevant information or solutions to their problems. If they like what you bring to the table then they might decide to take it a step further and do business with you. Here is the link to a great YouTube video created by Lee Lefeever and his company The Common Club. http://tinyurl.com/5nyn3o He explains the social media networking concepts and other Internet phenomena much better than I ever could.

My motto for all solo-entrepreneurs is to Outsource and Automate so you can create more time for living. No one can do it all alone and many solo-entrepreneurs tend forget that fact. They waste lots of time trying to learn how to do something they will do only one time. This was a lesson that I did not pay attention to when I first started my business and I spent many sleepless nights because of it. Please don’t make the same mistake.

Look around my Web Site to get some ideas for how I might support you and your online business. Please fill in your name and email and I will send you my free report, “Online Success – The 7 Most Important Strategies For a Successful Internet Business and How a VA Can Help.”

See you soon,

Lauren
