Virtual Assistant Moms is a website for Moms who are Virtual Assistants or who would like to be Virtual Assistants. VA Moms seeks to keep you up to date on all the neat tools, online and off, that you can use to get your business going and keep it going.
Also, aside from being a VA, you are a MOM, and at VA Moms we also seek to keep you up to date on ideas about working and parenting, and keeping it all organized and balanced. After all, as a Mom, you work from home so that you can be there for your children.
VA Moms is an interactive community, not just a blog. You can comment on the blogs, ask questions. If you are interested in a message board, you can join the one that exists here. I am not going to run one here because it is a lot of work, and this one is perfectly wonderful.
If you’re interested in guest blogging drop us a note and a sample of the type of blog you’d post, and if it’s a fit, we’ll get you started right away.
Keeping connected to your peers, learning tricks of the trade, and being a great mom are all key to your success as a Virtual Assistant Mom working from home.
The founder of Virtual Assistant Moms, Stephanie Watson, is a Mom of four daughters, (a combination of his, hers, ours, theirs, and some that the stork brought) she has worked from home off and on on the Internet since 1995.
She was blogging before the term was invented on a website called Fabulously Female, and was a Community Manager for a divorced woman’s community. She helped run a forum called “The Family Forum” on Delphi (yea that was a long time ago when we still did ASCII art).
In addition she often took odd jobs here and there helping others with Internet Marketing. She made most of her money in the “old” days building HTML websites in her community and administrative tasks for events, such as creating 500 name tags. Back then, the term Virtual Assistant never came to mind.
After a divorce , graduating from college with a Bachelors of Science in Business, and a remarriage, she took a few outside the home positions because that is what she thought she had to do. She quickly learned that she made more money from home. Not only that, she and her children and family were happier when she was working from home. So, she rebuilt her business to a minimum subsistence level and came home as fast as she could.
You can do a search on Stephanie Watson, Stephanie L Watson, Stephanie W. Knobel and variations of her names (maiden and married names) and find many articles all over the Internet that Stephanie has written. Stephanie now owns Barry Publishing and her Virtual Assistant Business.
Currently Stephanie is back in college to get a Masters in Human Environmental Science with a concentration in Interactive Technology from the University of Alabama. Stephanie has a dream of helping other stay at home moms and their families achieve success by learning to work part time from home so that they can be full time moms while raising their children.
Stephanie has come through a devastating divorce, being under-educated, and more – to be where she is now, a confident successful business woman who no longer worries about the future no matter what happens to the economy or in her personal life, she knows she can make it on her own – in any economy.
Stephanie is happily married now, and hopes to soon bring her husband HOME from his J.O.B. The main thing keeping this from happening today is the issue of Health Insurance in the United States.
Due to preexisting illnesses without the health insurance provided by her husband’s employer they would be unable to obtain insurance. To that end Stephanie is also part of a group working toward making Health Care a Human Right in America.
So, dive right in, stick around, contribute your own thoughts, and before you know it you too can be a successful Work at Home Virtual Assistant Mom.
Stephanie is a proud member of Mom Masterminds and invites you to join her.
