I have the honor of being interviewed tomorrow, Friday February 19th. Here's a release that Tess, the Founder of VirtualAssistantForums.com wrote. Hope you can join me. It will be archived on the site too.
Virtual Assistant Forums Welcomes Diana Ennen for: 'Publicity That Works - Get the PR Results You've Always Wanted'
Diana Ennen, co-author of 'Virtual Assistant The Series' with Kelly Poelker, shares her in-depth knowledge and expertise on the topic of publicity with members of Virtual Assistant Forums during an informative chatroom event. Diana will demonstrate how virtual assistants can successfully incorporate publicity into their own marketing plans as well as their clients'.
The virtual assistance industry is booming as layoffs amid a down economy send the previously employed in search of a way to earn a living. The sheer number of new virtual assistant businesses means it takes much more than a traditional approach to marketing and publicity to launch and maintain a successful practice. Diana Ennen, President of Virtual Word Publishing and author of 'Virtual Assistant The Series', understands the principles of leveraging publicity for small business marketing success. Friday, February 19, 2010 at 9am PST/12 EST Diana shares her expertise with members of the Virtual Assistant Forums (VAF) community in a special chat event designed to help both new and established VAs take their own marketing efforts to the next level.
Virtual Assistants who implement Diana's proven methods will bring more visibility to their virtual assistance businesses and can expect an increase in traffic flow to their websites. Ennen states, "Many virtual assistants are overlooking or misusing some of the best ways to get the word out about their business; from press releases and article marketing, to social media and online networking." Virtual Assistant Forums members in attendance at this free educational event will receive a free copy of Diana's recently revised PR Informational Package, which includes an extensive list of free press release submission options. As a special gift, two forum members will each receive a $35.00 gift certificate to the Virtual Word Publishing online store.

Readers Digest Explores the Thriving VA Industry
Reader’s Digest Explores the Thriving Virtual Assistant Industry
Margate, FL, (April, 2007) Diana Ennen knows how to make a business successful in today’s marketplace. Working from home since 1985, the entrepreneur has been highly successful in helping others reach their business goals for over two decades. Ennen’s most recent accomplishment was landing an interview in Reader’s Digest, where she was able to spread the news of the Virtual Assistant Industry, which she is so passionate about. The article talks about making money while working at home, stating “If you possess word processing, transcription, bookkeeping, public relations, or website design skills, you may want to try employment as a virtual assistant. Ennen is quoted as saying, “There is so much work for VAs that the field is thriving. It is absolutely booming.” And Ennen believes this with all her heart.
The article focuses on work that can be done on a part-time basis. Ennen contends that while most start their businesses on a full-time basis, many have been very successful working part-time, before growing their business into successful enterprises. According to Ennen, “The important thing is to use your own skills and expertise to build your business. Starting a virtual assistant business isn’t a get rich quick scheme. It takes time and talent, but those who succeed can’t imagine doing anything else. And clients today are grateful to have talented and highly skilled personal assistance for all their business needs. A VA business is not one that can be started overnight, but it is a business that has tremendous potential.”
Ennen has been helping entrepreneurs start their businesses since writing her first book back in 1996, Words From Home: Start, Run and Profit from a Home-based Word Processing Business, which she updates on a regular basis. Also, Ennen and co-author Kelly Poelker have recently completed the Virtual Assistant-The Series: Workbook Edition that accompanies their main book Virtual Assistant – The Series: Become a Highly Successful, Sought After VA, which is considered the Bible of the VA Industry. With these books, aspiring readers are provided with priceless tools on everything from choosing the right VA business and specialty, to advertising and promoting your business, to daily operational procedures. Other books by Ennen include
the WordPerfect OfficeReady Virtual Assistant Solution Pack, which comes complete with a 81 page ebook and over 70 templates on starting a VA business.
As an instructor of emerging virtual assistants, I have incorporated Diana Ennen and Kelly Poelker’s book, Virtual Assistant, The Series, and accompanying work book as required text for my students. The book guides students from the basic concept of the virtual assistant industry to creating a workable business plan, marketing plan, and web presence. The workbook encourages students to integrate material from the book into their personal goals and objectives. My belief is that Virtual Assistant, The Series has given my students the necessary foundation to become successful entrepreneurs.
