by Donna Toothaker. “Criticism is something we can avoid easily by saying nothing, doing nothing, and being nothing.” – Aristotle. We see it happen all the time in blogs, social media, or mass media — someone gains a certain amount of success and notoriety, and suddenly, critics come crawling out of the woodwork. It’s a risk we take when we dare to put ourselves “out there” in the public in a bigger way.

The good news is – now you have a little extra time to create some, and it may be easier than you think. What is passive income? It is a source of profit that occurs with little or no effort on your part to maintain. An excellent source of passive income is an information product, also known as “knowledge-based goods” or “digital goods,” to be distributed online.

There are many classes and services readily available, but is it really necessary to do it all? In reality, this approach could backfire because it’s impossible to be everything to everyone. There is a good reason why Virtual Assistant specialists are more valuable than generalists who try to know and do everything.

As a VA, one of your most valuable assets is your passion for helping people, and one of the great sources of job satisfaction is seeing your clients happy and their businesses growing. Yes, most VAs are ‘helpful’ in nature and we want to do what we can for people. But are you doing too much, for too little? If you are holding on to low paying clients, you are hindering your own business growth.

by Donna Toothaker. One of the principal ways I created a business so quickly and successfully was by creating an affiliate program. What is an affiliate program? It is a reward system for referrals to your business. In my case, I would offer a commission to peers, clients and others (affiliates) when people they referred to me signed on as clients.
