Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, LinkedIn. We’ve all heard of them but have you been using them? If not you are missing out on a valuable resource for your business. The main reason why you may not be using them is because you’re just too busy. This is a perfect time to bring in a virtual assistant. Here are just a few ways that you can utilize a virtual assistant to get your business online and socializing fast.
- Blogging – Have you virtual assistant write up blogs to post on your site. A VA can not only write a post and post it to your blog but can publicize your posts in several ways.
- Article Submission – Do you have articles that you’ve written but haven’t had time to submit? Have your virtual assistant do it.
- Twitter-Your virtual assistant can write up your tweets and schedule them for a week at a time so you don’t have to worry about it.
- Facebook – Have your VA send your friends and fans birthday greetings as well as posting upcoming events and specials.
- SlideShare – This is a fairly new application that brings PowerPoint and Social Media together.
- YouTube – YouTube is a phenomenon that is also new to the business world. Have your virtual assistant demo products, tape interviews, etc.
- Pod Casting – Consider yourself a radio host? Why not, have your assistant set up the show, book guests, write content.
Whatever platform you choose one or all of them you don’t have to go it alone. Social Media is more than just a fad or a phase, it is a proven way to network and build your business and the best part is that it is free!

I’m sure you have already heard about the new Facebook Vanity URL that everyone’s talking about. Although this is an optional add to your Facebook account tons of people have been making the switch. The change comes after users found it cumbersome to connect with friends and adding their profile to emails and other social platforms.
Visit their site page to change to your new URL http://www.facebook.com/username/. You can either use one of the suggestions that Facebook gives you or even enter a desired name. This is just like a website however so if what you want is already taken you are out of luck and have to choose another name.
Whatever your reason for using Facebook now you get a chance to extend the reach of your profile even more but if you’re doing it for business you can either use your business name or use something to reflect your business personality.
