I Love My StatCounter- You Will Too!

Perhaps you already have your website published and now you're wondering if it is getting the traffic you hoped it would. I recently came across a great (and free) little tool that answered that question for me.

Statcounter.com offers a free website traffic stats program. It is easy to use and impressive in the amount of information you can access about how many visits your site is getting, how long they are staying, and where they are coming from.

Of course, they have optional upgrades in packages that you can purchase if you wish, although you can use their free program indefinitely. The packages that you can purchase seem to be exceptional values, too. Thanks StatCounter.com! You have definitely earnely my referral!

What Would a VA Be Without a Website?

A website is a must-have for any virtual assistant. If you are a virtual assistant opertating without your own website, why not make it your New Year's resolution to stop cheating yourself out of the benefits of having your own site. Believe me, it sounds harder than it is, and even with no experience at all, you CAN get your own little haven on the world wide web up and running without a whole lot of grief.

Anyone who hears you are a virtual assistant will probably automatically assume that you have a website, which is okay until they actually ask you for it- and you blushingly murmur something about not having one. Not the best way to impress a potential client, now is it? It's an easy fix, though. A few hours during the weekend can produce a site that you can be proud to refer your clients to!
