Last week we mentioned that the reason you have a virtual assistant is to help you achieve your strategic objectives and even more importantly, that he/she gets the job done in the most efficient way possible. We shared 5 of the 10 most helpful online tools we use to manage our virtual assistants’ efficiency and productivity. Here are the next 5:
6. Evernote - http://evernote.com/: The free version of EverNotecan be synced across all devices - computers, phones and tablets. Lists can be updated from any device and then synced sothat the update is immediately available on all your devices. There is also a great search feature.
7. WordPress - http://wordpress.com/: If your virtual assistant is not yet blogging on your behalf, you should set up a WordPress account and get your blog started. It’s the best way to share your expertise, start a conversation with the community you’re serving and build a fan base for your business or brand. Let your virtual assistant draft the blogs and you can add the final touches before posting it online on this super easy platform.
