There’s a new look to Marketing Grand Central. While I kept the colors and the graphics to keep inline with my site at www.valleyva.net, I received feedback that the dark background was hard on the eyes for some.

Therefore, I sat down last weekend and redesigned the layout for Marketing Grand Central. There are still a few kinks I need to work out such as the space between the RSS graphics, however nothing was lost in the transition.

I’ve also added a new page to the site called “Free eCourses”. There are currently two eCourses — one is an article marketing course which I highly recommend. Article Marketing is one of the best ways to market your business online, and it’s easy to do even if you’re not a writer. If you’re interested in learning more about Article Marketing, I recommend the course called Easy Article Marketing which I just took a few weeks ago. It’s 2 hours of audio, article critiques, templates for writing articles and so much more. If you haven’t had a chance to check it out, just click here for more information.

The other eCourse really isn’t related to VAs or marketing in a direct sense, however it is a course written by 6 moms from my Mastermind Group on how you can work from home. If you know of someone who would be interested in learning more about working from home, please pass the information on to them.

That’s the update for Valley Virtual Assistants for this month. Thank you for your continued readership and if you haven’t done so already, please take a minute to sign up for our bi-weekly newsletter, Marketing Made Simple. Our next issue will go out next Monday, February 6th and we’d love to have you as a subscriber!

Until next time…

All in all, I’d say about 9 hours. But I did it and I’m pretty darn proud of it!

I’m getting the hang of this change thing and I’m starting to like it!

As you can see, there’s a new niche…marketing! The VA information on my old blog is still there and I will continue to add VA information to the blog as well as continue on the marketing path that I seem to have started.

Please change your RSS feeds and bookmark this site! There’s more where this came from!

Until next time…
