If you offer a free download and intend to follow with ongoing emails of any kind, tell people so up front! Although you could say it’s implied in items 1 and 7, I would also add not to pull the ol’ “bait and switch.” Don’t use the “everyone’s doing it” excuse so subscribers should just expect it in exchange for the gift.

I like the way you think, too, and have become such an admirer of the way you live and have brought your daughter up. Hi and nice to e-meet you! Thank you for sharing these things, as so many of us are re-learning or learning for the first time the basics of self-sufficient living. I feel like a city girl who’s gradually going feral.

Since then, our fashion, entertainment, and brand partners have created some truly delightful blogs and racked up tens of millions of notes on their posts.

No more excuses accepted or passes given because that’s “the way I grew up”, just don’t think about it, it’s automatic, or traditional or whatever. Grow up, get over it, learn a new way, be accountable and part of the solution not the problem.

Reading this…what an excellent way to start my work week, having yesterday finished up The Dandelion Insurrection: love and revolution by Rivera Sun. Read the entire, inspiring piece at the Roots of She blog. Love just is. Love is being proactive in Life. No one wants to be dragged through life – or to be the one doing the dragging.

Came to my attention via the Twofer Tuesday curated series on the Box of Crayons blog. Ever had the feeling that your job might be made up? It’s spot on and helps me understand in part why so many in the U.S. still vehemently espouse views and enthusiastically vote against their own best interests.

A quick glance through the topics and featured blogs reveals great content on: Assistance (EA, PA, VA). LEARN MORE & SIGN UP! I realized quickly that it not only benefits assistants themselves, but also their managers, employers and clients (in the case of virtual assistants). Time Management. Networking. Email Management.

They don’t all fit into the Reply, Reading, or Follow-up category. Meryl Evans at Web Worker Daily (a favorite blog) offers this awesomely simple tip : create a Social Media folder and matching filters for batch processing. I set this up for myself and a client several weeks ago.

It's Time to Re-Declare Independence - Politically, Economically, and Spiritually : An incredible July 4th essay by Richard (RJ) Eskow at the Institute for America’s Future blog. This sums it all up more perfectly than I imagine you’ll find anywhere else this year. If you read one thing today, this should be it. Some are not.

I never heard back from her and the interview didn’t appear on her blog. But I ran back across it today while in digital clean-up mode and wondered what to do with it. It’s still an interview and quite relevant to this blog. When there’s plenty of business – or even too much – I’m busy just keeping up.

Here are some gems from Farida Rafique’s Make A Splash blog yesterday that made me say “yeah, exactly!” How am I going to get to know (like & trust) you – or you me – if we only share our outermost layers that are “all made up”? Difficult stuff happens and we have to deal with it. clipped from www.faridarafique.com.

I think he’s brilliant, love his Web Strategy blog , and had the good fortune to meet and talk with him in person at SXSW Interactive this year (no dark circles then). But there are aspects of social media that virtual assistants can handle that free clients up for more of that intended 1:1 interaction.

That’s because there’s so much crap there mixed in with the good stuff and it can get so out of control so quickly that we just give up and ignore it altogether or declare email bankruptcy on a regular basis.
