Virtual assistant help can
be used anywhere in your business and the longer you outsource you will
find tasks that you were always going to get around to doing but never
did.
In my early days when I first went online some 10 years ago one of
the perks I had was my nephew had his own hosting company and he offered
me free hosting which was timely as Google adsense was the big thing
back then and many people made full time incomes from their websites
from having little ads all over them. They were virtually goldmines
depending on the niche’ you went into as each site when people clicked
on the banners you made a few dollars.
With the free hosting from my nephew I was buying up domains in all
different niches and the virtual assistant would be making various
websites and then adding the adsense banners.
All was going well it was and I was managing to get a website up with
a few good keywords to get it ranked and the sites would each earn a
few dollars per day. Some of the sites I had at the time were insurance
sites and they would earn up to a few hundred dollars a day…those were
the days! A little more of what happened in the days a little later in
this article.
Life was good and it was going like a well oiled machine and I
remember counting at the time I had over 100 sites but then I got hacked
and had a virus I was trying to get rid of went to one site to the
other why was this happening to me and I soon found out it was my own
fault people make themselves more vulnerable to hackers by not doing the
most simplest of things listed below:
- Not updating to the latest version of wordpress
- Not updating the theme and the plug-ins
- Custom theme over a free theme
- Change passwords regularly don’t use “admin” as your UN
- Backup your sites weekly
I also became aware that having a free
theme can also have its drawbacks and become a problem down the track as
they will get to a stage of not being supported or any further updates
and improvements. Having custom themes is definitely a more safe way to
go.
The message is loud and clear to help
deter hackers follow the simple recommendations above, if you have not
the time to do this yourself get virtual assistant outsourcing help to
do these type of tasks or other tasks or the dull boring things that you
hate doing yourself – that is the perfect work that the VA loves to do.
