My Customer Persona
About her
Megan started her own business making custom cupcakes, cakes and cookies in Collingwood.  She is married to a Biology teacher, and they have 2 children 10 and 14.   She has been doing custom cakes and cookies for family and friends and decided to turn it into a business, Mags Baked Goods.  She loves going for walks around beautiful Collingwood with her family as well as skiing down Blue Mountain in the winter in her free time.  But with the pandemic, she has been stuck at home and decided to pursue her baking business and make it fulltime.  
Benefits
Mags Baked Goods would get the following benefit from Kari’s Numbers
1.       She would not have to waste time doing paperwork, entering receipts for the various ingredients she buys, balancing her books with the bank statements.  She could simply take pictures of every receipt and send it to Kari’s Numbers, and through Cloud, Kari can enter it all for her.
2.       Affordable prices, keeping Megan and her family safe during the pandemic, Kari does all the work online for Mags Baked Goods.
3.       Flexibility with her accountant, Kari’s Numbers delivers the services to Mags Baked Goods’ accountant making the transition easy and efficiently, so all Megan has to do is focus on her product and selling it to bring the profits as well as pleasing her customers.
Use Case
Megan decided to try out Kari’s Numbers.  She sent a picture of all her receipts for the month, and then decided to check online through Quickbooks Online and saw that every receipt was there, categorized and organized efficiently.  She could look at the profit/Loss statement, as well as look up her customers if they owed money.  She could also look up a phone number or address just as quickly.  She called her accountant and asked if she felt comfortable with the bookkeeper’s method/style, and her accountant said that the books were perfect, and easy to follow, that it made her job easier as well! Megan was thrilled to hear this news and decided to recommend this bookkeeping service to her friend who is selling stuffed animals made of blankets/old clothes of loved ones that has passed.
Previous Solutions and Pain Points
Megan was working long hours, and when it was time to do the finances, her head would be swimming with recipes, and things to do with the next day that she was making mistakes entering totals, or bills.  Her accountant had told her that she needed to be a bit more careful, as well as to take a day to do the bookwork and not a few mins every evening.  Her accountant also told her that the time she puts in could make or break her business, it could bring in investors or send them running.  It could make the difference in her bottom dollar.  Megan started stressing out about the numbers after the advice from her accountant, and her product started to slide.  She started to miss deadlines and her product was the top quality she prefers to send out.
 Buying Trigger
Hearing the advice of her accountant, she realized that her business isn’t going the way she wanted.  Her product was suffering, one of her regulars asked her if everything was okay in her life as this isn’t the product she normally delivers.  She decided enough was enough that she was unable to do both sides of the business and so she had to research for bookkeeping businesses to help her out.
Buying Process
Megan started her research on-line for bookkeeping services.  She used key words such as “Quickbooks On-line”, “fast”, “efficient”, “flexible” in her Google Search.  She also posted an ad on her local group on Facebook asking for suggestions or of anyone they knew that could handle the financial side of her business.  
Someone saw her post and told her to check out Kari’s Numbers.  Megan decided to go into her webpage, and she saw that the business had many good reviews. She saw that things could be done on-line to reduce the spread of Covid19 and she liked that as she has her family to think of.  She also saw that Kari’s Numbers works with the business’ accountant tailoring to their needs.  The kicker was that after speaking with Kari, she felt a connection with her, and she immediately knew that Kari would be a good fit for her business.
Choice Factors
Megan based her choices on the following factors:
1.       Cost Effective – she found that Kari’s Numbers had an amazing price for the quality of work she does.
2.       On-line: which was an important factor for Megan, as with the pandemic she can keep her family safer.
3.       Easy to talk to – which is significant importance to Megan, as she found to have someone that was awkward to talk to, it was hard to send her finances to someone like that.  With Kari, she felt at ease and comfortable, and she could go in and check anything she wished at ease.

Is a Virtual Assistant Right for You?
Virtual Assistant Right It is a truth universally acknowledged that an author in possession of a contract must be in want of an assistant. At least, it seems that way to me. I would kill for an assistant. Who's your assistant? I'll have my assistant send it to you. When my first book came out in 2005, I didn't know any authors with assistants. This isn't to say no authors had assistants, but I didn't move in those authors' elevated realms. In 2013, assistants seem more the norm than the exception. I was actually worried about finding authors who didn't have assistants to interview for this article. I needn't have worried. Not every author is enamored of virtual assistants, while some authors, like me, adore our assistants. So how do you know if hiring a virtual assistant is the right decision for you? What is a Virtual Assistant (VA)? A virtual assistant is a contracted employee an author hires to help with specified tasks. Most assistants do not come to your house or office. They live in another part of the country, and all or most of your interactions are completed via email or phone, which is why the assistant is referred to as "virtual." What do VAs do? I asked a number of VAs about their services. Maggie Mae Gallagher, an assistant since 2011, who has quickly earned a reputation as one of the best, gave me a general idea of what she does. "A typical day entails conversing with the publicity department at a client's publishing house, addressing my email inbox, designing an ad, updating a client's calendar, packing book shipments for blog winners, updating websites, and that's only a small portion." Kim Castillo, who is probably the most well-known and most-respected VA in the romance genre, told me she offers "social media help, bookseller outreach, website help, marketing, contest, scheduling, and almost anything else I'm asked to do." My own assistant, Gayle Cochrane, said of her services, "I will be happy to do whatever someone needs done, from the clerical to the creative." This statement seems to sum up the attitude of all the assistants I spoke to. As Gallagher put it, "as an author's assistant, you really have to be versatile." I know this is true of my assistant. I've asked her to do everything from figuring out technical problems with my author app or social media sites to creating banners, bookplates, and crafting promotional campaigns for me. The sky is the limit with a good assistant. And a great assistant probably knows what you need done before you have even thought of it. How Do You Know if You Need An Assistant?
Tumblr media
Is a Virtual Assistant Right for You? Having someone solve your technical problems or design your promo items may sound great, but you could also do it yourself and for free. Or is it free? Time spent working on promotion is time not writing, and writing pays the bills. So how do you know if you've reached the point in your career where doing it yourself is actually not cost-effective? Gallagher gave me a great checklist. you miss blog dates. you have trouble shipping readers books they won in a timely fashion. it's been so long since you updated your website it has tumble weeds blowing through it. you are a new author hyperventilating over your first book release. social media brings you nightmares. Cochrane summed it up by saying, an author needs an assistant when "the details of the business are making it difficult to write." And Castillo echoed my own experience saying, an author needs an assistant when she "finds herself pulling out her hair, overwhelmed, screaming, 'I need an assistant.'" The publishing world at the end of 2013 is vastly different from when I began in 2005. No one talked about social media or blog tours back then. Blogging was still relatively new and the e-book explosion was a long way off. We didn't even know if e-books would take off. We did copyedits on hard copy (some houses still do) and mailed completed manuscripts in Tyvek envelopes we picked up at the post office. I'm talking about a time not even ten years ago. The demands on authors now are dizzying—Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr, blogs, Kindle daily deals, BookBub ads, newsletters...and more. As Castillo puts it, "There is so much an author needs to do other than write books now. Once you sell that first book you become a brand and a product. Those things need time and cultivation. It's hard to do that and write books." And as authors, didn't we get into this to write books? I Need An Assistant. STAT!Right Virtual Assistant If the thought of someone else going to the post office for you, updating your website, or writing your RWR article (just kidding—Gayle's good, but not that good) makes you want to dance, then you are not alone. A lot of authors—a lot of authors like you—have assistants. I asked three authors with assistants—Eloisa James (Three Weeks With Lady X), Jeannie Lin (The Lotus Palace), and Eileen Dreyer (Once a Rake)—to discuss their experience. Lin hired an assistant because "with a fulltime day job and two toddlers to juggle, I have little time to write let alone promote." She hired her assistant specifically to "set up blog tours as well as other tasks such as mailing out review copies or preparing conference giveaways." Dreyer hired someone to "do the detail work for me, somebody to brainstorm marketing and advertising, social networking. I need somebody who will ensure I follow up, maintain healthy relationships with the various reviewers, bloggers, booksellers and publishing people." Before I hired an assistant, I had concerns about how readers would perceive me if they knew I had an assistant. I've seen tweets or Facebook posts by VAs, and it always seemed a little distancing to me. I wanted to make sure the readers on social media who seek me out, interact with me. So when I hired Cochrane, we agreed I would still do my own social media, but she would help with all of the graphics and send me suggestions for topics to post about. Sometimes you just need a little help thinking of ideas for a post. James had concerns about hiring an assistant as well. She admitted, "I'm a perfectionist—so it was hard for me to trust someone could do things as exactingly as I had been doing them for myself. But I couldn't keep doing them and have a life." James makes an excellent point I suspect perfectionism holds many authors back from asking for help. When I was discussing this article with fellow author Monica Burns (A Bluestocking Christmas), she mentioned the biggest reason she thought authors were reluctant to hire assistants was because "authors are control freaks. We're not willing to trust someone with our brand. It takes a great deal of courage to let go of that control and let the assistant do something that you've been doing a certain way for some time." You might not want to give up that control. Or you might only be willing to give it up in stages. When I hired Cochrane, I gave her very specific tasks to complete. The more we worked together and she got to know me and I her, the more I was willing to trust her with more creative and open-ended tasks. For Dreyer, a major concern was that her "assistant understands how I work...if my assistant doesn't get my methods, that's just added stress, which exacerbates my ADD. Which stops the writing. My husband once tried to be helpful and filed the paperwork in my office. I still haven't found it." Before Dreyer hired her current assistant, she worked with another well-known assistant and felt the two of them were "dancing to different tunes." It's important to give yourself and your assistant a test period, and if it doesn't work out, try another assistant. If you've had an assistant before and weren't happy, it might not be because you can't work with assistants. Perhaps you were working with the wrong assistant for you. The Elephant in the Room Right Virtual Assistant I can hear you now. Thanks a lot, Shana, for getting me all excited about assistants, but then you quote Eloisa James. I don't make that kind of money! How much is an assistant going to cost me? Probably not as much as you think. Right Virtual Assistant James will soon be paying her assistant a set salary, but most authors, including me, pay by the hour. I pay Cochrane every month. Most months, my budget is 3 hours. She lets me know if I'm going to go over. Release months, or often the month before a release, are 4 hours, and again, she asks for approval before she goes over. Before I hired my assistant, I asked other authors what they were paying their assistants. The responses I received were anywhere from $12/hour to $20/hour. Some assistants charge by the hour, while others charge by the task. Lin also has a set budget for her assistant. They "started out with a baseline of 10 hours a month for a four month period and then added additional tasks and hours as necessary." Dreyer is more flexible. She says, "mostly what happens is that I look at my checkbook and consider what needs to be done when, and dole out the money." Right Virtual Assistant Before hiring an assistant, an author should definitely consider budget. VAs are generally very willing to work within an author's budget. And as James pointed out when I asked her about budgeting, "any business must re-invest in itself." In her experience, "overhead for Eloisa is about 10% of my income." Hold It Right There Right Virtual Assistant As I mentioned earlier, I had no trouble finding authors to interview who did not have and did not want assistants. Megan Mulry (In Love Again), Miranda Neville (The Ruin of a Rogue), and Kate Watterson (Buried) all told me that they'd used assistants in the past or seriously considered it and decided an assistant wasn't the right solution for them. Neville mentioned using Kim Castillo in the past and not having any complaints. She hasn't used her more because "I don't really know what to have her do...By the time you've asked her to do it, you could have done it yourself." Watterson said much the same thing. She mentioned that she "didn't really have time to tell them what to do, as ridiculous as that may sound. It seemed like half the time doing it myself seemed easier than answering questions about how I wanted it done." Both Watterson and Neville mentioned concerns about using an assistant for social media as well. Neville said, "the most time-consuming thing about promo is producing social media content—blogs, tweets, FB posts. I can't see having someone else do those for me. It's my writing, my voice I'm selling. It needs to be authentic." Watterson agreed, saying, "being represented on social media by someone else makes me uncomfortable." Mulry also mentioned feeling as though she was a "terrible delegator. I do not like explaining how to do something." In addition, Mulry mentioned another aspect of the assistant-author relationship, which is that it can be very personal. Mulry noted, "I don't do well in long-term committed relationships with one person." No worries, Mr. Mulry, Megan thinks you are the exception. The relationship an author and assistant form is one to consider before beginning the process of hiring an assistant. As VA Castillo noted, "The author assistant relationship is a very intimate one. Both parties need to understand how much an assistant will know about their author's personal life. You'll possibly be privy to credit cards, bank accounts, and so much more." Right Virtual Assistant Final Considerations  If you're still on the fence, here are some final considerations. Before you hire an assistant, Mulry suggests authors should "have a very clear idea of what they want the assistant to do." Watterson suggests authors go one step further and "have a clear idea of just what it is they want from the relationship. Delegating responsibility sounds great, but how easy is it for you, as a person, to let someone else take care of something important in your career? " Gallagher agrees and notes that "hiring an assistant does not remove some of the author's responsibilities; however, the assistant will facilitate these tasks, saving the author's time and energy." Another consideration, at least for Neville, is "whether having an assistant is really going to save you work. I'm not convinced." From my own experience, I have to agree that there is a learning curve for both the author and assistant. Cochrane and I exchanged hundreds if not thousands of emails when our relationship began. Sometimes we still have concentrated exchanges over a particular task I've assigned her. I'm amenable to that because the tasks I assign her are not ones I want myself, and I do like to continue to make the executive decisions. As Cochrane points out, assistants have preferences too, and it's helpful to them if an author is "very clear and direct in her communication." If you go into the relationship not knowing what you want or with vague directions, you may end up dissatisfied. James mentions a few other items for authors to consider, specifically, "How many hours can you pay for? What sort of assistant do you want—one who comes up with marketing plans or materials, or one who can "be" you on-line and in social media, or one who is best at behind-the scenes work (i.e., sending out newsletters)." Hiring an assistant is an important decision. Treat it like any other business decision, weighing the pros and cons. Is giving up a measure of control worth the time you gain to write or spend with your family? Is paying for an assistant the best use of your income? And most importantly, before hiring an assistant, take Lin's advice: "Know what you want. I say this about all promotional efforts. Know what you want to get out of it so you can work with your assistant to plan for that. If you go into any game not having a clearly defined goal, you're more likely to waste time and money and not be satisfied."ervices list,virtual assistant freelancer Read the full article

Three months later I quit my job as a scientist to draw fulltime, and it’s the best decision I ever made. Thank you, Megan, for showing me the magic and reminding me to dream ✨💕

Will I be covered by my parents auto insurance for an accident if im not on the policy?
I was in a car accident last night while driving my parents insured car. I, however, am not on the policy. I am 23 and live in my parents household. I have my own seperate insurance for my vehicle, which I was not driving due mechanical issues. This is the only time I have driven my parents car. Will either my parents or my car insurance cover the accident? This is what happened: I hit a car who made a left in front of me while driving through an intersection. The light was green, I had the right of way. When the police arrived the individual whom I hit admitted he had been drinking and was a marijuana user. The police arrested him and towed his car. The officer disclosed that the individual did not show proof of insurance. Also, there was a witness (the driver in the car behind me) who pulled over to check on us. He had told the officers what happened which verified my explanation of the event. I live in California, if that helps. If anyone has any advice for this scenario, please advise me on how I should proceed as I have never been in this situation. Thank you""
Disability and life insurance - recommended companies?
What company do you buy disability and/or life insurance from? I want to purchase both disability and life insurance (preferably together) but I just don't know where to start. I search on the web but I've never heard of any of these companies so I have no idea if they are a scam or not. My spouse and I are both young and healthy with no kids, but I want disability insurance because I've seen what can happen to people when they don't have it, and life insurance because we both depend on each other's incomes. Also, what kind of screening can I expect to be subjected to for such insurance? I talked to one company and he was talking about a rep coming to my house for urine samples! Is that normal?""

Can health insurance coverage be dropped for a single department in a company? (Pennsylvania)?
I currently live in PA and my employer has said they will drop health insurance for my department, but not another department in the same company. I did some research online to see if this is possible or not. I originally started this job with guaranteed benefits and now they are being taken away. I was reading somewhere online (unsure of credibility, website is as follows:http://employee-benefits.lawyers.com/Employee-Benefits/Employer-Workplace-Benefits-FAQs.html) that a company cannot take away a certain departments health benefits and retain another departments. Below is the Q&A question from the stated website above: Q: Is my employer required to provide health benefits? A: Employers are generally not required to provide any health benefits. Only the state of Hawaii requires employers in the private sector to cover employees who work over 20 hours per week. Union contracts may include provisions for insurance as part of the agreement. However, health care and other benefits such as life or disability insurance are generally offered by employer as a means of attracting and keeping their workforce. If an employer does provide health coverage, federal law requires the employer to provide Consolidated Omnibus Reconciliation Act (COBRA) to an employee who loses her job for any reason outside of gross misconduct the opportunity to maintain coverage up to 18 months at her own expense. This applies to companies with 20 or more employees. Some states also have laws with similar protections for employees who work for companies with less than 20 employees. Generally, it's not illegal to provide health benefits only to some classes of employees (for example, only to full-time employees but not to part-time employees). But once the eligible classes are established, an employer cannot withhold insurance from some members of the class while offering it to others. The employer can require employees to follow the rules of the plan, which may require an employee to fulfill a waiting period or wait for an open enrollment period before joining. An employer can usually change, or even eliminate, a health plan, but must follow the rules and guidelines of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA). I understand they cannot choose and select who receives and who does not (I interpreted this as discriminating between employees). I do not know health legislature very well, and if anyone could provide some information it would be very appreciated. As for me, I am going to try and find more information out about this. Thank you.""

I have a financed car can I take my car out of circulation to stop paying insurance?
Ok, my car has been broken for like 5 or 6 months already. It hasn't been driven at all. Right now it has an expensive fix. I was waiting for my taxes to fix it but I had my identity stolen so I may not get my taxes until December, if even that soon. Anyways, long story short...it's an expensive fix, about $2000...which I don't have. I've been paying for both the car and the insurance every month with the car not even moving. I know I have to continue paying the car. I'm going to verify with my bank, but I'd prefer not to get them involved until I have some details. Is it possibly to take my car completely out of circulation by turning in the license plate and then stop paying insurance until I fix it? I assume theres no need to have insurance if the car doesn't have a tag so it can't be driven. I live in Florida, if that changes anything. Paying $280 for insurance and not driving the car makes me sick...its worse than paying the actual car and not driving it.""

Virtual Assistant Right It is a truth universally acknowledged that an author in possession of a contract must be in want of an assistant. At least, it seems that way to me. I would kill for an assistant. Who's your assistant? I'll have my assistant send it to you. When my first book came out in 2005, I didn't know any authors with assistants. This isn't to say no authors had assistants, but I didn't move in those authors' elevated realms. In 2013, assistants seem more the norm than the exception. I was actually worried about finding authors who didn't have assistants to interview for this article. I needn't have worried. Not every author is enamored of virtual assistants, while some authors, like me, adore our assistants. So how do you know if hiring a virtual assistant is the right decision for you? What is a Virtual Assistant (VA)? A virtual assistant is a contracted employee an author hires to help with specified tasks. Most assistants do not come to your house or office. They live in another part of the country, and all or most of your interactions are completed via email or phone, which is why the assistant is referred to as "virtual." What do VAs do? I asked a number of VAs about their services. Maggie Mae Gallagher, an assistant since 2011, who has quickly earned a reputation as one of the best, gave me a general idea of what she does. "A typical day entails conversing with the publicity department at a client's publishing house, addressing my email inbox, designing an ad, updating a client's calendar, packing book shipments for blog winners, updating websites, and that's only a small portion." Kim Castillo, who is probably the most well-known and most-respected VA in the romance genre, told me she offers "social media help, bookseller outreach, website help, marketing, contest, scheduling, and almost anything else I'm asked to do." My own assistant, Gayle Cochrane, said of her services, "I will be happy to do whatever someone needs done, from the clerical to the creative." This statement seems to sum up the attitude of all the assistants I spoke to. As Gallagher put it, "as an author's assistant, you really have to be versatile." I know this is true of my assistant. I've asked her to do everything from figuring out technical problems with my author app or social media sites to creating banners, bookplates, and crafting promotional campaigns for me. The sky is the limit with a good assistant. And a great assistant probably knows what you need done before you have even thought of it. How Do You Know if You Need An Assistant?
Tumblr media
Is a Virtual Assistant Right for You? Having someone solve your technical problems or design your promo items may sound great, but you could also do it yourself and for free. Or is it free? Time spent working on promotion is time not writing, and writing pays the bills. So how do you know if you've reached the point in your career where doing it yourself is actually not cost-effective? Gallagher gave me a great checklist. you miss blog dates. you have trouble shipping readers books they won in a timely fashion. it's been so long since you updated your website it has tumble weeds blowing through it. you are a new author hyperventilating over your first book release. social media brings you nightmares. Cochrane summed it up by saying, an author needs an assistant when "the details of the business are making it difficult to write." And Castillo echoed my own experience saying, an author needs an assistant when she "finds herself pulling out her hair, overwhelmed, screaming, 'I need an assistant.'" The publishing world at the end of 2013 is vastly different from when I began in 2005. No one talked about social media or blog tours back then. Blogging was still relatively new and the e-book explosion was a long way off. We didn't even know if e-books would take off. We did copyedits on hard copy (some houses still do) and mailed completed manuscripts in Tyvek envelopes we picked up at the post office. I'm talking about a time not even ten years ago. The demands on authors now are dizzying—Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr, blogs, Kindle daily deals, BookBub ads, newsletters...and more. As Castillo puts it, "There is so much an author needs to do other than write books now. Once you sell that first book you become a brand and a product. Those things need time and cultivation. It's hard to do that and write books." And as authors, didn't we get into this to write books? I Need An Assistant. STAT!Right Virtual Assistant If the thought of someone else going to the post office for you, updating your website, or writing your RWR article (just kidding—Gayle's good, but not that good) makes you want to dance, then you are not alone. A lot of authors—a lot of authors like you—have assistants. I asked three authors with assistants—Eloisa James (Three Weeks With Lady X), Jeannie Lin (The Lotus Palace), and Eileen Dreyer (Once a Rake)—to discuss their experience. Lin hired an assistant because "with a fulltime day job and two toddlers to juggle, I have little time to write let alone promote." She hired her assistant specifically to "set up blog tours as well as other tasks such as mailing out review copies or preparing conference giveaways." Dreyer hired someone to "do the detail work for me, somebody to brainstorm marketing and advertising, social networking. I need somebody who will ensure I follow up, maintain healthy relationships with the various reviewers, bloggers, booksellers and publishing people." Before I hired an assistant, I had concerns about how readers would perceive me if they knew I had an assistant. I've seen tweets or Facebook posts by VAs, and it always seemed a little distancing to me. I wanted to make sure the readers on social media who seek me out, interact with me. So when I hired Cochrane, we agreed I would still do my own social media, but she would help with all of the graphics and send me suggestions for topics to post about. Sometimes you just need a little help thinking of ideas for a post. James had concerns about hiring an assistant as well. She admitted, "I'm a perfectionist—so it was hard for me to trust someone could do things as exactingly as I had been doing them for myself. But I couldn't keep doing them and have a life." James makes an excellent point I suspect perfectionism holds many authors back from asking for help. When I was discussing this article with fellow author Monica Burns (A Bluestocking Christmas), she mentioned the biggest reason she thought authors were reluctant to hire assistants was because "authors are control freaks. We're not willing to trust someone with our brand. It takes a great deal of courage to let go of that control and let the assistant do something that you've been doing a certain way for some time." You might not want to give up that control. Or you might only be willing to give it up in stages. When I hired Cochrane, I gave her very specific tasks to complete. The more we worked together and she got to know me and I her, the more I was willing to trust her with more creative and open-ended tasks. For Dreyer, a major concern was that her "assistant understands how I work...if my assistant doesn't get my methods, that's just added stress, which exacerbates my ADD. Which stops the writing. My husband once tried to be helpful and filed the paperwork in my office. I still haven't found it." Before Dreyer hired her current assistant, she worked with another well-known assistant and felt the two of them were "dancing to different tunes." It's important to give yourself and your assistant a test period, and if it doesn't work out, try another assistant. If you've had an assistant before and weren't happy, it might not be because you can't work with assistants. Perhaps you were working with the wrong assistant for you. The Elephant in the Room Right Virtual Assistant I can hear you now. Thanks a lot, Shana, for getting me all excited about assistants, but then you quote Eloisa James. I don't make that kind of money! How much is an assistant going to cost me? Probably not as much as you think. Right Virtual Assistant James will soon be paying her assistant a set salary, but most authors, including me, pay by the hour. I pay Cochrane every month. Most months, my budget is 3 hours. She lets me know if I'm going to go over. Release months, or often the month before a release, are 4 hours, and again, she asks for approval before she goes over. Before I hired my assistant, I asked other authors what they were paying their assistants. The responses I received were anywhere from $12/hour to $20/hour. Some assistants charge by the hour, while others charge by the task. Lin also has a set budget for her assistant. They "started out with a baseline of 10 hours a month for a four month period and then added additional tasks and hours as necessary." Dreyer is more flexible. She says, "mostly what happens is that I look at my checkbook and consider what needs to be done when, and dole out the money." Right Virtual Assistant Before hiring an assistant, an author should definitely consider budget. VAs are generally very willing to work within an author's budget. And as James pointed out when I asked her about budgeting, "any business must re-invest in itself." In her experience, "overhead for Eloisa is about 10% of my income." Hold It Right There Right Virtual Assistant As I mentioned earlier, I had no trouble finding authors to interview who did not have and did not want assistants. Megan Mulry (In Love Again), Miranda Neville (The Ruin of a Rogue), and Kate Watterson (Buried) all told me that they'd used assistants in the past or seriously considered it and decided an assistant wasn't the right solution for them. Neville mentioned using Kim Castillo in the past and not having any complaints. She hasn't used her more because "I don't really know what to have her do...By the time you've asked her to do it, you could have done it yourself." Watterson said much the same thing. She mentioned that she "didn't really have time to tell them what to do, as ridiculous as that may sound. It seemed like half the time doing it myself seemed easier than answering questions about how I wanted it done." Both Watterson and Neville mentioned concerns about using an assistant for social media as well. Neville said, "the most time-consuming thing about promo is producing social media content—blogs, tweets, FB posts. I can't see having someone else do those for me. It's my writing, my voice I'm selling. It needs to be authentic." Watterson agreed, saying, "being represented on social media by someone else makes me uncomfortable." Mulry also mentioned feeling as though she was a "terrible delegator. I do not like explaining how to do something." In addition, Mulry mentioned another aspect of the assistant-author relationship, which is that it can be very personal. Mulry noted, "I don't do well in long-term committed relationships with one person." No worries, Mr. Mulry, Megan thinks you are the exception. The relationship an author and assistant form is one to consider before beginning the process of hiring an assistant. As VA Castillo noted, "The author assistant relationship is a very intimate one. Both parties need to understand how much an assistant will know about their author's personal life. You'll possibly be privy to credit cards, bank accounts, and so much more." Right Virtual Assistant Final Considerations  If you're still on the fence, here are some final considerations. Before you hire an assistant, Mulry suggests authors should "have a very clear idea of what they want the assistant to do." Watterson suggests authors go one step further and "have a clear idea of just what it is they want from the relationship. Delegating responsibility sounds great, but how easy is it for you, as a person, to let someone else take care of something important in your career? " Gallagher agrees and notes that "hiring an assistant does not remove some of the author's responsibilities; however, the assistant will facilitate these tasks, saving the author's time and energy." Another consideration, at least for Neville, is "whether having an assistant is really going to save you work. I'm not convinced." From my own experience, I have to agree that there is a learning curve for both the author and assistant. Cochrane and I exchanged hundreds if not thousands of emails when our relationship began. Sometimes we still have concentrated exchanges over a particular task I've assigned her. I'm amenable to that because the tasks I assign her are not ones I want myself, and I do like to continue to make the executive decisions. As Cochrane points out, assistants have preferences too, and it's helpful to them if an author is "very clear and direct in her communication." If you go into the relationship not knowing what you want or with vague directions, you may end up dissatisfied. James mentions a few other items for authors to consider, specifically, "How many hours can you pay for? What sort of assistant do you want—one who comes up with marketing plans or materials, or one who can "be" you on-line and in social media, or one who is best at behind-the scenes work (i.e., sending out newsletters)." Hiring an assistant is an important decision. Treat it like any other business decision, weighing the pros and cons. Is giving up a measure of control worth the time you gain to write or spend with your family? Is paying for an assistant the best use of your income? And most importantly, before hiring an assistant, take Lin's advice: "Know what you want. I say this about all promotional efforts. Know what you want to get out of it so you can work with your assistant to plan for that. If you go into any game not having a clearly defined goal, you're more likely to waste time and money and not be satisfied."ervices list,virtual assistant freelancer Read the full article

People Doing Cool Stuff – Chalk of the Town | Megan Manning
Tumblr media
I’m lucky enough to meet a lot of people from all over the world who are doing cool stuff!
  Having spent a lot of time working in pubs with prominent chalkboards like the Belgian Beer Cafe, The Greenwood and The Albion, I know how important it is to have them done professionally so they are neat, legible, and inviting. And I know it’s MUCH harder than it looks!
Let’s have a chat with Chalk Of The Town’s Megan Manning and find out how she does it!
Tumblr media
Tell us a bit about yourself and your business – what is Chalk Of The Town all about?
I’m Meg and I run and operate Chalk of the Town signwriting.  What’s Chalk of the Town you ask? Well, I’m an artist and I work mainly with Chalkboards.
  Tell us about your journey, how did you get to this point?
I started my little business when I lived in Europe and needed to start making some money. I have always been creative and good at art so when the opportunity to work closely with a local artist to learn my trade arose I jumped at the opportunity.
I trained alongside my mentor for 6 months in Spain before returning to Australia and starting up my little business here 2 years ago and haven’t looked back yet.
Have you ever seen one of those fancy colourful chalkboards in a pub or a restaurant and wondered how or who did that? Well that’s what I do. I’m the person they hire to create those masterpieces!
I also create beautiful signage for weddings, parties, events and businesses which is cool because I get to work with other businesses and wedding vendors on photoshoots and all sorts.
  What music/song have you got on high rotation right now?
Well, It’s a pretty funny story. Most likely a ‘you have to be there kind of moment’ but, our kids LOVE Detroit Rock City from KISS so as we can imagine we have to play this every time we get in the car or are at home listening to music.
They all know the words (even the 2 and 3 year old) and jump around like crazy when it comes on. They are so cute!
  How do you stay motivated?
Hmmm, this is a hard one because sometimes I do struggle to motivate myself BUT I Love what I do so I just remind myself of that and it kicks me up the butt on the days that I need it.
  What/who inspires you?
This is so super soppy of me but I would have to say the person who does inspire me if my Husband to be. He is the most amazing person I have ever met and he inspires me to be the best person that I can be and to always work hard and to never give up.
  How do you deal with impostor syndrome?
Well, I just remind myself that I AM good at what I do and how far I have become.
  What’s your favorited place/way to relax?
My husband and I both work fulltime and we have 3 kids so we never really get to relax, because as you can imagine our life is pretty full on!
But when we do get a chance to have some ‘us time’ and relax our number 1 destination is Busselton, We often grab our snorkelling gear and go off snorkelling for the day. In this beautiful country it would be stupid not to, Right?
  If you hadn’t started your business what do you think you’d be doing right now?
A long long time ago before I became a mum I actually studied Graphic Design at university (this also comes in very handy for my business now) so most likely I would be doing something creative anyway.
  What’s been your most successful Social Media platform for your business? Do you think you’d be in the same place if it wasn’t for Social Media?
My Major Marketing Platform that I use is Facebook. About 99.9 % of my clientele has seen my work on Facebook or via word of mouth.
  Have you hit any huge problems that made you re-think your whole career? How did you get around it? What was your approach to solving the issue?
Yes, but only with Bride funnily enough.
I recently took 6 months out because of some not very nice people. I won’t go into details but it was a very stressful time that was completely unnecessary.
Thankfully thought I fought back and came out even stronger and more determined than ever.
  What is the hardest thing about your work?
I love my Job, I love the creativity and the freedom but sometimes you just meet people that have no idea about advertising, or don’t have a creative bone in there body and they are so adamant on an idea of what they want which is complete poo but they just won’t listen to your advice.
I find this hard because number 1 its my name on the artwork and number 2 it makes me cringe haha, but apart from that I am really luckily to be doing what I do.
  How do you manage it all with such a busy schedule?
It’s taken me A long time to balance work with life but we are getting there. I am very strict about the hours that I work and where I work.
I have to work from home so I can take care of my children and I will not work after hours or at the weekend as that is family time. I have found balance and I manage to do all of my work and be a mum and wife at the same time. Its great.
  What’s next for you?
I would like to teach some hand lettering courses to the general public so that could be something I look into this year.
We will see how we go.
  How do we find and follow your cool story?
Facebook
Website
  Make sure you stay tuned for more cool stories! And if you think you’re doing something cool – get in touch!

Once a Fangirl
A sad thing that happened once I entered college is that I forgot how to be a fangirl. When I was in highschool, I used to stalk artists like Taylor Swift, Megan Nicole, Boyce Avenue, and others, fulltime. I was updated on every move they made and every song they play. I once had that fluttering heart whenever I thought about them and stalk the, and then I entered college. Instead of them, I thought of the books I have to read, I felt my heart raced because of the pressure I feel whenever we have exams, I thought of homeworks and projects and I thought of being an accountancy student.
Now, I dont stalk them much but I seldom caught news about them while scrolling through my sm accounts. Though Im not so updated anymore, theyre still my favorites. I still feel that fluttering heart whenever I listen to their songs. Now ive learned, I never really shifted away from my fangirling. I just had my priorities that I shouldnt and couldnt ignore. Anyway, I gain another thing to fangirl about. And it is a fangirling my dreams; a fangirl of being a Certified Public Accountant.

whirlwind
wop! landed back in LA this morning and boy was i glad to be back – nothing quite like a sulfur-free shower with all my necessities, and the comforts of my own, brilliant, bed. 
originally i wasn’t really looking forward to going to grace hopper this year. i signed for fulltime (!!!) a week ago, and didn’t really want to do all the career grubbing that it sometimes feels like. and also it’s a ~6 hr flight (not including the hassle of to/from the airport, etc). ALSO i would miss 3 midterms lol...
but anyway, i was there, and i’m so glad i went. truly, it’s a special place and feeling to be able to walk around and see so. many. women. i’ve kind of reached a point at school where being in a class of all men doesn’t really bother me anymore (throwback to when i was literally 1 of 2 girls in my upper div AI course – there were 60 people registered total), but being surrounded by female peers made me realize how even if it doesn’t bother me being in a field that marginalizes women, it’s still takes a toll. 
it’s a blessing to meet so many people who have shared your life experiences (first period! first bra! all the good things) and have faced so many of the same barriers in their own careers (“you’re just a diversity hire” / “you’re biologically disinclined to be an engineer” / only woman on a team of all men). and also, it was really a highlight that i was able to have conversations with diane greene (my former ceo @ bebop!!) and megan smith (she is just so wonderful). talking with them made me reaffirm my values and what i’m passionate about pursuing. 
above all, it’s a real joy to be surrounded by the people i know and love from all over the country, that i’ve just serendipitously met throughout the course of my college career. they are strong women, each in their own right, and all of us being together was so much fun (that’s an understatement) – i couldn’t even begin to list them all (gloria, our queen + diva / anna, class sweetheart / anika, the nonstop grubber / teresa our bb / jamie / rebecca / megha / cat / tanuj / suv / sarah / courtney!! from umd!!! tbt when we started a club together in HS / nisha / sondhayni / yamini – we literally bumped into each other on the shuttle what a coincidence / kristen from that hackathon i did!!! / oh man there are more but i’ll stop here). 
there are these phenomenal, brilliant women i’ve met in SF, south bay, LA – all the way to texas, chicago, maryland (met this one girl @ the verizon event who was friends with my sister’s ex-bf lmao), boston, and now, florida ... shoutout tina who i befriended this week while drunk at the twilio open bar event xo. somehow, i’ve gotten to know them and i’m ever grateful because i know that these are the gals i’ll lean in with when times get tough, or who i’ll soon see changing the industry alongside me. 
plus, it ain’t bad to be hoppin from event to event always with drinks on some tech company’s dime, or when goog sends you to disney for free after hours, when all the other people have left and you can ride everything to your heart’s content with no lines (the validity of spending exorbitant sums of money buying out disneyworld goes beyond me but hey i had a good time so), or getting together with the whole apm gang from summer and taking silly tipsy selfies with our fav recruiters suzie & svet. thanks ghc17, you were a whirlwind of a good time
