Speaking of links, if you have an ugly website with horrible copy that doesn’t reflect your skills, please don’t tell us. That said, don’t apply for internet jobs when you just came online, have no skills, no experience, but can definitely learn everything as you go along. Because we won’t. Request, that is.

Perhaps you have all of three readers right now – but this means it’s a great time to practice and hone your skills before you have thousands of fans hanging on your every word.

I don’t think I’d say that to a client, though.

I’m not talking about the manuals that promote get-rich-quick schemes or dodgy products peddled by snake-oil salespersons. In fact, they seriously lack in professional qualifications, the kind required to be dispassionate and unbiased – essential skills if you truly want to help a person. The problem? Dunning-Kruger effect.

This is an excellent guideline on motivation. Everyone should understand, appreciate and practice the techniques and skills in motivating themselves, or finding motivation from outside forces, if it works for them.

So my name is Taylor, and if I had chosen to pursue a salaried job instead of a freelance career, I could have avoided the embarrassing situation many women find themselves in today – discounted because of their name, before their education and skills are even checked. Because men over 25 get promoted. Women over 25? Women less often.

As a virtual assistant, I tend to market and promote my services to my niche customer.
