A Note from Danielle...Mary Judge turned me on to SnagIt last year, and I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this "little program that could." We just keep finding more and more uses for it!. Mary is here this week to share just some of the fantastic things this tool can do for you. Yours in goodness and success!
- FEATURE ARTICLE -SnagIt — Capture, Edit, Share
I'm going to tell you about something that will take are of all of that... and more. The program I'm referring to is SnagIt by TechSmith Corporation. Since first using the program to do all the things described above, I've delved further into it and have found so many more different uses it's hard to know where to start. Screen capturing is just the beginning. Now that you have a picture of the Web site, what do you want to do with it? Do you need to make drawings on it, circle something, add an arrow or highlight to point out a specific spot to someone? Perhaps you need to point out a particular drop-down menu, but you don't know how to capture it. Or maybe you need to create a PDF file of a Web page and keep all the links. SnagIt can do all that and more! Not only can you capture screenshots, you can edit images and then share them with your clients, employees and suppliers. Screenshots are not just limited to the Internet either. You can take screenshots of virtually anything on your screen and edit them. Some of the other things you can do include:
I'm sure the list is much longer and I've only scratched the surface. And you can get all this for as little as $49.95. Happy capturing and editing! RESOURCE: To find out more, visit the SnagIt page at http://www.techsmith.com/screen-capture.asp.

- VACOC NEWS -New Service for Clients: Quickie Gigs™
The core business of a Virtual Assistant is providing one-on-one, ongoing administrative support to clients they work with in long-term, continuous relationship. We always encourage clients to go that route because it's where you are going to reap the most rewards in terms of value, continuity and cost-effectiveness. However, if you have not yet found your right Virtual Assistant or you are between Virtual Assistants, but still have occasional tasks and projects you'd like completed, we can help you out! Quickie Gigs™ is primarily for simple, straightforward administrative tasks and projects that can generally be completed and turned-around in few days with no fuss or muss. You fill out our online form with the project specs and once the preliminary account set-up is completed, we'll get to work right away. Everything is simple! You sign only one contract (this will cover our terms for one year in case you have other occasional projects that pop up) and each project will be quoted on a flat fee basis (easier for you to budget). For more information, be sure and check out our Quickie Gigs™ page.

Do
you ever need to capture an error message to show the IT Department what
is wrong? Have you ever tried to capture a screenshot (i.e., take a picture)
of a Web page only to get a small portion of what is showing on your screen
when what you really wanted is further down the page? Or maybe you've
tried to take a picture of a Web page and the formatting becomes all skewed.

"Some
great advice for everyone, especially about staying true to the boundaries
of your calendar! Thanks."
Every
marketing book and seminar tells you that you should be writing articles
to promote your expertise and your business. Writing articles is a great
way to enhance your reputation as the go-to person who has deep expertise
in the work you do every day. But if you have never written before, where
do you start, and how do you know you have anything to say?
