Comment by Kim Anstaett on March 21, 2013 at 3:04pm: Thank you Debi and Marta!! : )

Comment by Marta Goertzen on March 20, 2013 at 11:26am: I used to use it quite a bit for scheduling client tweets and like Debi said every once in awhile something wouldn't go but for the most part it worked fine. It was great to have a lot of info in one login, that was the part I liked best.

Comment by Debi Potter on March 20, 2013 at 11:21am: Hey Kim, I have used Hootsuite a little bit and it's very nice to have a system to schedule postings to all of the different social media sites; however, I have experienced some bugs on occasion so I make a point to check to make sure the posts are happening when they're supposed to. Lately, it's been working great.

Comment by Kim Anstaett on March 19, 2013 at 11:01am: Do any of you use/work with Hootsuite? How do you like it? Pros? Cons?

Comment by Lyndon Dunbar on May 30, 2011 at 2:14am: I would like to let anyone know who is looking for a virtual assistant to work from home, I am interested. I am very organized, motivated, disciplined, etc. If you have any questions, please contact me asap.

Comment by Jeanette Watkins on October 25, 2010 at 7:38am: Thanks a lot for the information!

Comment by Kat Harshman on October 25, 2010 at 7:19am: Hi Jeanette, First you should decide what your niche is going to be. For example, accounting, medical, data processing or marketing. Then you can set up your business as a independent contractor offering these services. You can post your business on places like elance.com, I also recommend you start attending networking groups in your area. There are alot of great forums and books on the subject. Email me and I'd be happy to send you some links. Hope that helps, Kat
