<b> What makes great Presentations:</b><br />
<br />
Well, a great speaker! True. Having said that, even a great speaker
needs a convincing presentation from time-to-time to aid him/her in
delivering his message.<br />
<br />
With the digital economy being what it is, we find ourselves
continuously bombarded with content demanding our attention, and if
lucky, action. And it is impossible to consume it all. Because your
presentation will be competing for that attention, your presentation
needs to be visually compelling.<br />
<br />
The days of “Death-by-bullet-point-presentation” are over.<br />

Coming soon at http://amftyping.co.za/?p=3407 40 x articles to assist and give information to Virtual Assistants. The aim is to assist VAs in learning how to be a Virtual Assistant, to assist them in the steps it takes to do the job. Being a VA is not easy so every step that we can assist with, will make the progress a bit better and a little less overwhelming,<br />

Our group was founded 8th August 2008 by Gaynor Paynter from Typewrite Transcription and Typing Services cc, Cell: +27834424689, Web: <a href="http://www.typewritetranscription.co.za/">www.typewritetranscription.co.za</a> and Alison Fourie from AMF Typing Services cc, Cell: +270828713452, Web: <a href="http://www.amftyping.co.za/">www.amftyping.co.za</a>. Tavasa was formed as there was a need for a support group within South Africa.
<br />
<ul>
<li>We provide support for people in our industries</li>
<li>We bring together a group of professionals who can support each other</li>
<li>We advertise job leads and subcontractor positions on the Tavasa forum, you are welcome to apply</li>
<li>We share our VA and Transcription knowledge with you</li>
</ul>
Because we like to have immediate access to queries that arise from our members, and because many people in South Africa still find it easier to access email on a regular basis as opposed to accessing an internet browser regularly, our main means of communication is an yahoo group online, email discussion forum, and you can join our group at <a href="http://finance.groups.yahoo.com/group/tavasa/">http://finance.groups.yahoo.com/group/tavasa/</a> free membership.
<br />
<ul>

<li>To guide new Transcribers and Virtual Assistants to set up their businesses within the industry.</li>

<span style="color: blue;">History of the First 25 Years of the Virtual Assistant Industry</span></h1>
<div class="entry-meta entry-meta-above" style="text-align: center;">
Posted on <time class="entry-date published updated" datetime="2017-06-26T11:00:53+00:00">June 26, 2017</time> by <span class="entry-author vcard"><a class="author-link fn nickname url" href="http://www.the24hoursecretary.com/author/the24hoursecretary/" title="View all posts by Sharon Williams"><span class="entry-author-name">Sharon Williams</span></a></span></div>

<br />
<br />The <strong>Virtual Assistant Industry</strong> has a rich but little-known history of pioneering individuals and organizations that saw opportunity in the work-at-home arena to develop and grow businesses that could support and sustain families. This infographic recognizes and shares the story of the industry’s first 25-years. It acknowledges the many women and men who walked the walk and talked the talk that propelled virtual assisting to become the small business resource it is today.<span id="more-1908"></span><br />
Congratulations to all of the pioneering VAs, and Thank You.<br />
<h3>
<strong>O<span style="font-size: small;">ur Story (from my perspective):</span></strong></h3>
Let’s go back in time, way back, way, way back, to 1981. That’s right! That’s when the concept of secretaries working from home was the exception instead of the norm. As a matter of fact, working from home was frowned upon and individuals who worked from home were considered “second-class workers”; not really contributing to an industry or their household incomes…hobbyist…you name it. Call it what you want, but working from home in the 80s always carried a negative connotation.<br />
<br />
However, knowing where you come from, acknowledging all the hard work of those that paved the way — using determination, sweat, time and energy to build the industry, starting new, innovative thinking groups, professionally and positively — spreading the message of how businesses benefits.<br />
<br />
Knowing your history helps you understand your foundation, where you come from and most important WHY you can now build a long term, sustainable business – it’s because of those that came before you, 10, 15, 20, 25 years ago – people who walked the walk, talked the talk, and spent many hours answering questions and overcoming obstacles, that have paved the way for you be the Virtual Assistant you are today.<br />

<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-ZA;"><span style="font-family: "arial";">My philosophy has always been ‘get in first’, ‘be ahead of the crowd’, and
to ‘stand out from my peers’ and I do just that in South Africa. I go by the
phrase ‘An early Bird always catches the Worm’ and I do. I have always had
clients contacting me all the time and always found it easy to talk the client
into using my services at my price rather than go to the next VA down the line.
If I want a job I will go all out to get that job, I will convince the client
of how good and how I am able to assist. My office has a continuous flow of
typing and my main service that I offer clients is Typing. If it can be typed I
can do it. I am very old school and I find that saying this to clients helps
draw them to using my services. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-ZA;"><span style="font-family: "arial";">I started out wanting to run a typing company and never thought I would
get to this point, but I’ve done it and proved that you can run a company just
doing typing. I know where to look for my clients, if I want to take on more
clients, I know how to get clients and am not afraid to sell my services and
tell clients how good I am at what I do.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-ZA;"><span style="font-family: "arial";">I answer emails fasts, as an email comes in and I see that it’s from a
prospective client I then quickly respond, clients are impressed with a fast
response, they want a VA who is pro-active and assertive. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-ZA;"><span style="font-family: "arial";">I love the variety that I get with typing. You would think typing would

What is involved with offering Typing as a service?</div>
<div class="post_content">
</div>
<div class="post_content">
Can anyone type, yes, but can everyone offer typing as a service? Typing can be more than just copy typing. Typing can involve creating spreadsheets, equations, figures, graphs, charts etc., or even creating graphics. So you need to ask your prospective client what is involved with the typing before quoting.</div>
<div class="post_content">
<ul>
<li>Is the typing just plain copy typing, what you see is what you type, is there any tables, graphs, charts as they must then be created, you might have to create a graph or chart in excel and copy it across to word, that is time taking and is not straight copy typing, as you must create the graph etc. Sometimes you might have to scan an image from an book, so that means you need to scan it on a scanner and then resize to insert it into your document, so that is not straight copy typing. You might need to find an image on the Internet, so that will involve research, finding the image. You might have to create a graphic, the client might have drawn an image, maybe a flow diagram, you will need to recreate this in the document this can also involve using graphic software then copy and insert within your document, and also this is very time consuming.</li>
<li>A client might send you to copy a PDF document for typing. Not all PDF conversion software works nicely when you convert a PDF document into word. You might find you still have to reformat the document this is time taking and often much quicker to just type the document from scratch. Note here the client will know the document is not typed from scratch, they will know you have used conversion software to convert the document and often this is not the quickest route to take.<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-rE04M1GG21E/VqdD4juD8HI/AAAAAAAAAo8/-kRbux8ydpg/s1600/typist%2B2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-rE04M1GG21E/VqdD4juD8HI/AAAAAAAAAo8/-kRbux8ydpg/s1600/typist%2B2.jpg" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
</li>
<li>You might need to firstly print out what the client has sent you so that you can type from it, it takes time to print out a document, and it costs to print from a printer.</li>
<li>At the end of your document you need to proofread and perform a spell check, this should be part of your quote or terms and condition; this task must always be done. Make sure you list this so that clients can see that you perform this task.</li>
<li>Sometimes clients might want their document saved to a memory stick (flash drive) you need to charge for this as it is time taking and you maybe you need to a buy the memory stick.</li>
<li>If you offer typing as a service make sure you state that you can create graphs, tables, charts, brochures, graphics, spreadsheets, PowerPoint presentations. Do not assume all typing is simple copy typing, often it is more involved.</li>
<li>You may need to insert equations, this takes extra time to do this, so make sure you feature this time into the length of time it will takes you to complete the typing.</li>
<li>You can no longer send large files through email and often you have to make use of Google docs, Dropbox, Send this File etc so make sure that your Internet bundle (capped or uncapped) can cope with offering typing. Files will need to be downloaded and uploaded. A file with graphics, graphs etc will take time to load and is very time consuming loading to Send this File or Dropbox etc, especially if it has more than 20 pages. A large manual with graphics, graphs and flows, a large spreadsheet, a PowerPoint presentation can take a few hours to upload, you have to remember this when it comes to your deadline and getting the work back to the client in time.<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-whPXbWPH_wU/VqdDnENFn0I/AAAAAAAAAos/JorAr8WcoJM/s1600/standing%2Btypist.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-whPXbWPH_wU/VqdDnENFn0I/AAAAAAAAAos/JorAr8WcoJM/s1600/standing%2Btypist.jpg" /></a></div>
</li>
<li>If you contract typing out to a subcontractor make sure you check the work thoroughly and ask the subcontractor to make sure they proof their own work then you double proof the work when you get it back. Often a subcontractor will just do the work and send it back to you and tell you it is proofed, don’t make the mistake of sending it to the client without you doing a proofread and spell check. You are the one the work is sent to from your client and not the subcontractor so it is up to you to make sure you send back a quality document.</li>
<li>When offering typing services sometimes you will get in tasks that you don’t like doing, maybe lots of figure typing, typing of tables, this can be boring for some, listen to music as you type, this will help the time go a bit quicker.</li>
<li>When pricing typing the norm is to charge on a per page basis but it can also be done on an hourly rate, whichever works out best for you, is what you offer.</li>
<li>Authors and students may ask you for a charge per word, roughly you normally get ±750/1000 words to an A4 page at Ariel at a size 12 font.</li>
<li>If you have a table within the document, check out the other tables within the document, maybe you can just copy and paste your first one and just change the data, this can save you time.</li>
<li>Know how many pages you can do in an hour, day, or week so that you can let the client know if you can reach their deadline, remember if you have graphics, graphs, charts etc within a document it might take you longer to create these so therefore affecting the time it takes to complete your document.</li>
<li>Ask for client preferences: fonts, size of text, colour in graphs, flow diagrams, spacing, justification, ask if the client can provide you with the company logo’s/graphics, templates if required. etc.</li>
<li>Do not take on typing work if you do not know how to do it, you can subcontract it out, if that is the case make sure your subcontract has the experience to do the job.</li>
</ul>

<span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; font-size: 8pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-ZA; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-ZA; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-fareast; mso-no-proof: yes;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;">
</span><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-BVUlIYMYdq4/VfKbrI9ghNI/AAAAAAAAAno/k9ON7BpOKuA/s1600/Bird%2Bcatches%2Bworm.png" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-BVUlIYMYdq4/VfKbrI9ghNI/AAAAAAAAAno/k9ON7BpOKuA/s1600/Bird%2Bcatches%2Bworm.png" /></a></span></div>
<br />
<span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;">
</span><span style="font-size: small;">If I go to a website and then go to the contact page and
that page has a form with no other contact details, I quickly leave that site
and do not bother looking further. Putting a form on your contact page to me,
puts people off contacting you further. Now if I see full contact details I
will take the time to contact you further. It’s a pet hate of mine to find a
contact form because half the time you will fill in the form, submit it and
then that is it, the receivers of the form often do not bother to contact you
further, so to me, putting forms on your website is a waste of time, to me that
makes your site unfriendly. But that is just my opinion.<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Your contact details should be available on all pages. You
can be sitting on a page and then think of a question you want to ask, if the
contact information is there you can quickly phone or send an email but if you
have to go to the contact page and fill in a form, well why bother. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-size: small;">In your contact information you need your full contact
details. It is not necessary to put your address but put in your location as
people like to know where you are situated before contacting you. Some clients
could be local and where you are situated may matter to them. Give clients the
option to contact you on your cell/mobile phone, your landline, skype, email
and Whatsapp. These days I get lots of whatsapp contact from clients as it is
easier and quick. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;">
</span><span style="font-size: small;">The quicker you reply to a potential client and if you can
assist that client the better chance you have of impressing the client and
getting the job – ‘The early bird catches the worm’. If a client contacts you
and you are busy, get back to them at your first available opportunity. <o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Make use of the mail format signature in email, on every
email you send, have your full contact information. Your aim with your
advertising and marketing is to give the client contact details, many clients don’t
have much time so will want to contact you quickly, don’t make your contact
details difficult to find. Client’s want to contact you using the tool they use
most often so make sure you give them all your social media details. Be
accessible. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;">
</span><span style="font-size: small;">A word of warning, clients will contact you after hours if
you do not want this or like it, state it in your advertising and marketing,
state your hours of business and stress no contact after hours. <o:p></o:p></span><br />
