A Virtual Assistant Bookkeeper Is Gold For Your Business
I want to share a story with you that I know will ring true for many of you that produce a shoe box full of receipts and pay big dollars for the CPA to make sense of the contents in the box.
To be truthful I was using the shoe box accounting systems where friends would laugh as I opened the box carefully and shut it quickly to squeeze yet another receipt in.
The box was full to the brim and I had made my way in for my appointment with the CPA and faced him with a large pad of paper in front of him as I tried to recall events, dates and different expenses I was trying to write off. Then the Accountant took off his glasses looked me straight in the eye and said "I am only as good as the information you give me!"
"Just imagine in this room if I had the tax department sitting around the table would your stories satisfy him?"
This truth hit me straight between the eyes I can still remember the sinking feeling when I thought that my poor record keeping would get me into hot water sooner or later and I virtually became obsessed about finding a virtual assistant to help get my house into order.
Tips to Get Your Started:
It's always hard starting anything new but to be prepared to spend only an hour a day to tackle this task, as it will overwhelm you.
Definitely do not do this task late at night or you will find you can't sleep.
Go purchase either a filing cabinet or do what I did and buy color-coded concertina boxes so you can easily find the year that you're looking for.
Clear the kitchen or office desk and first sort out in year then date order.
What I did is look for a virtual assistant bookkeeper and found much more than I bargained for she is she is a qualified CPA and she journals all of my receipts straight away directly onto QuickBooks and for the Australian clients MYOB.
We now have clients all around the world with many like how I was and they either started out with good intentions but just either got busy or lost the enthusiasm for book work and started to fall behind.
A good bookkeeper will save you money two ways as there will be less for the CPA to do, the cost of a virtual assistant bookkeeper is thirds of the cost of an accountant. The records will be kept beautifully and will stand the scrutiny of the tax office.
At Need a VA we are a virtual assistant outsourcing company that have expert qualified accountant/bookkeepers on hand to do your books no matter if you are in the US, Australia, Canada etc contact us TODAY at http://needava.com or email info@needava.com

YAHOO MESSENGER WILL BID GOODBYE THIS YEAR
If you’re still using Yahoo Messenger – Yahoo’s incredibly ancient application, you better start finding an alternative soon, as Yahoo plans to shoot the Messenger, no pun intended, on August 5, 2016. You can now switch to Yahoo’s new version of Messenger which is available as a part of Yahoo Mail’s desktop application, web app and as a smartphone app, or choose any of the more effective alternatives discussed here.
Yahoo Messenger has a rich history behind it. It was launched in 1998 under the name “Yahoo Pager” – which goes to show just how ancient it was – and was a big deal in the late 1990s and early 2000s. Messenger was very popular with users in Asia-Pacific in particular. It also had a very strong following among oil traders and other investors, who used the app to exchange news and gossip on commodities prices.
Yahoo Messenger’s traditional supporters have since moved on to bigger and brighter things such as Google Talk, WhatsApp and of course, Facebook; which means there are no longer any takers for Yahoo’s legacy platform any longer.
Yahoo has done its best to revive the ailing Messenger, by updating the Messenger app on both iOS and Android in December, 2015. It also introduced a brand new design for the Messenger, but it doesn’t look like that has helped much.
As Yahoo Chief Architect Amotz Maimon explains, “In December of 2015, we announced a brand new Yahoo Messenger for mobile, the Web and in Yahoo Mail on the desktop, built on a new modern platform. This complete revamp brings users an incredibly fast, beautiful and smart way to send – and unsend – messages, photos and animated GIFs in 1:1 and group conversations. While today we provide basic interoperation between the legacy product and the new Messenger, we encourage all of our users to complete their transition to the new Yahoo Messenger as we will no longer support the legacy platform as of August 5, 2016. We intend to continue our focused efforts on the new Messenger, with a goal of delivering the best experience to our users“.
So what of the new Messenger? Switching to the new platform is not as simple as Yahoo imagines it would be. For one, there is no replacement for the desktop tool as yet, although Yahoo promises to come up with a brand new desktop application of the new version of the Messenger for both Windows and Mac soon.
Now, while the login details of the old Messenger do work with the new Yahoo Messenger, there are some obvious problems here – you cannot transfer your contacts from the old Messenger to the new version. Also, the new Messenger logs out automatically after a short period of inactivity and requires you to confirm your password every time you want it back on.
Another issue is that the legacy platform used to store all conversations locally, while the new Messenger is cloud based , which means it stores all conversations remotely. This is a problem for the traditional users of Messenger, such as commodities traders, who require a definitive record of what was said and what was deleted – for the benefit of compliance officers.
So many of the old users of Yahoo Messenger have moved on – to
Skype, QQ, Slack and ICE Instant Messenger. Reuters and Bloomberg have useful messaging tools for traders as well. Facebook Messenger and WeChat are popular as well. LinkedIn has a useful chat application too.
So, even as everyone bids a fond adieu to Yahoo Messenger, newsflash – the world has moved on!

Ever Wonder How to Make Money Online?
A lot of us hear about online marketers and how they’re making lots of money. But is it possible for anyone to learn how to make money online? Is there some kind of magic formula?
First of all, there is no substitute for the basics. Whether you’re running a street business or an online business, there are somethings you just have to have or you’ll never succeed or enjoy your success.
Here’s my list of what you need for success:
Transparency: You’ve got to be completely transparent about who you are and what you represent. People who need and want your services will be attracted to you, and if nobody is, you’ll have to learn how to explain yourself so people get a clearer picture of exactly who you are. Trying to fake it won’t work for long.
What is Affiliate Marketing?
If you’re new to the online business world, then you may have heard about affiliate marketing but not known what it is. Some people say you can’t make any money by being an affiliate, but some people think it’s the best way. So let’s demystify it.
Remember that there are a ton of ways to sell products online and make money. The easiest way is to sell something that’s easy to ship. You can make money selling and shipping fresh meat or fish, but is that the easiest way to go? That could be a nightmare. How about shipping books? That’s a lot easier, so let’s start there.
Let’s say you don’t have a lot of money to start an online business, but you want a fairly quick income. You could decide to sell books online, and sit down to write one. Well, that might take awhile. Or, you could sell someone else’s books and make a commission for each one you sell. Much faster!
Amazon does this. IfI enter into an affiliate agreement with Amazon, I can post a review for a book I like on my website. I put a “buy now” button on my website with something called an “affiliate link” embedded into it. Anyone who clicks on my “buy now” button gets routed to Amazon, where they buy the book. My link automatically flagged Amazon and told them that the sale was generated by me. So, congratulations, I get a commission.
Interestingly, the price is the same to the person who buys the book, whether they buy it from me or from Amazon. Amazon just gives up a little of their profit and throws it my way for finding a new customer. This is an easy way to make profits, but very small ones!
Here’s the juicy part. Let’s say I enter into an affiliate agreement with someone who sells products that cost $2200, $5500, and $15,000. Wow! wouldn’t it be nice to make a commission on something like that?
Be aware — most of the people who sell that kind of product won’t let you sell them. They’ll let you sell an introductory offer, such as a $15 book, and you get 50%. But you’re not allowed to sell any of the biggest items. So you spend your time beating the bushes for new customers for that vendor, knowing that you’re only going to get really small commissions for your work.
That’s why a lot of people don’t recommend affiliate sales. But —
I know a place where you can make 50% on the introductory offers and 90% on the big products. That’s affiliate marketing at its best. In this company, they appreciate the fact that you steered a sale their way. What’s more, they’ll do the work of closing the big orders, since that takes some specialized skill, and their people are top notch. All they really want from you is quality leads.
(Secret – they’ll teach you how to get the leads, too!)
Can you make real money as an affiliate? Absolutely, if you know what you’re doing. You can check out the starter kit to the best system I’ve found right here.

The Best Online Business Ideas
You hear them every day — people complaining about their bosses and their lack of income. And while some very lucky people happened to fall into jobs they love, and the income to go with them, most people are yearning to be in control of their own destiny. They realize that having a good job is not necessarily the panacea everyone thinks it is.
Since the Internet is the emerging mega trend of our age, you don’t have to have a PhD to realize that you can take control of your life by earning money online. In fact, the best online business ideas don’t even require you to quit your job. You can get started part-time, and when your part-time income starts to exceed your full-time income, you can simply step away and leave a good job vacant for the next person who really wants it.
A lot of people will tell you that earning money online is easy, but I never say that. It’s simple, but easy is in the eye of the beholder.
For example, let’s look at the skill of making videos. Some people market their online businesses by making tons of videos and flooding social media with pictures of themselves. That might be an easy thing for some people to do, but some don’t have the technical skill, and others are incredibly camera shy. So, this skill might be easy and simple for some, but not for everybody.
There’s another important skill that you need — you have to narrow down all the offers out there. Read More
