Welcome back to Net Secretary News after a short absence. Yes we've been busy and somewhat slack in attending to the newsletter, but we are back now with a new look and back to a monthly format too.
 
It has been a busy and rewarding 12 months for Net Secretary. Firstly we turn three years old this month and we are giving our wonderful clients the presents. Please mention the coupon at the bottom of the newsletter if you wish to take advantage of the special offer. This is a great way to try Net Secretary's services at a reduced rate or reward yourself for being a loyal client!
 
I have also relocated to beautiful Mannum and am enjoying the peaceful lifestyle. The business has grown and continues to thrive in the new location. As most of you are aware, it doesn't matter where we are physically located as the Internet has ensured that the VA Industry can service anyone, anywhere.
 
A couple of new features in the newsletter. We have replaced "What's New in the VA Industry" with "VA-101" to give current and new clients some fresh ideas of ways to use a VA. A full list with more ideas can be found on our website. We will be listing three or four ideas in Net Secretary News each month.
 
I hope you enjoy the new and improved October edition of Net Secretary News.
 
Sincerely,

I am really thrilled that the national networking group, Womens Network Australia (WNA) has decided to open a chapter in Adelaide. Unfortunately Adelaide has a chronic shortage of any networking bodies that appeal to small business owners across the board. The inaugural lunch was held on August 17 at the Radisson and I am looking forward to attending future lunches to meet fellow women business owners, visit the trade tables and listen to fabulous leading speakers talk on various topics. The VA industry, as do other industries, rely predominantly on networking and word of mouth to get our businesses known. Networking and referrals are one of the best ways I've experienced in obtaining clients.
