Jewels of Wisdom – Our Internet Secrets Help Desk

Posted on 25. Jun, 2010 by Our Internet Secrets in Jewels of Wisdom

Hullo … just a little play on words here … Its Julie (aka Jules) here at the Our Internet Secrets Help Desk.

Today is the first of many blog posts where I’ll be sharing with you the top tips or rather my jewels of wisdom for the week … that I share with our members in the Our Internet Secrets membership program every day.

Some of them are easy little tips and solutions that can cause you agony in wasted time …

Jewel #1 – Finding Your Stats In Your Google Adwords Campaign

I got a distressed call from one of our members who was running an adwords campaign – and he said: “I know that my ads are showing because it tells me which keywords have the highest conversion on the home page, but there are no stats appearing in my ads campaign.”

The solution: At the top of your ad campaign there is a date area – if you have your date set to last 7 days – sometimes your stats for today won’t appear. Manually change the dates to the days you want to see and you will see all your stats.

Jewel #2 – Where Can I Find A Virtual Assistant

Some of our members are using a company called Odesk. Just like any employer/employee relationship you need to be very specific about the tasks you want your Virtual Assistant to do.

If the person you have employed is not doing the job you want, let them go – and find a new one. In the virtual assistant world, this is standard practice – until you find one you are happy with and then LOOK AFTER THEM …

If you have any specific questions you wanted answered here … let me know by responding to this email in the comments section … I’ll be giving 2-3 jewels of wisdom each week.

Kind regards,

Julie

Robyn … thank you for your question.

I’m not sure I understand your question. Adwords is the term used to describe an ad campaign with Google and you pay to have ads appearing on other web pages (content) and on the right hand side of Google (search). Perhaps you are thinking of adsense … and you will need to read Google’s polices about where you can put adsense.

Robyn, thanks for your question. I haven’t had any experience with odesk personally – but I know some of our members use odesk successfully and are very happy with their virtual employees. In relation to how much to charge … you will need to test and measure and see what the right price is for your market.

Hi Mary … I use a facility called http://www.yousendit.com – I paid their small fee to send large files – it is absolutely the best money I have spent on my internet business, as I use this facility almost every day … and you should be able to send them to your rentacoder. I send large files to my outsource team this way all the time. If you don’t get any joy doing it this way – I would break the recordings down into 1 hour sessions if possible and send them separately. However, I regularly send 2 hours of audio via YouSendIt.

Hope this helps … Julie
