When you’re copying and pasting something to or from a Microsoft application such as Word or Outlook and you want to remove the formatting there is a quick keyboard shortcut to do so. Rather than use the mouse and the Paste Special button, you can simply paste the text, highlight it, and hit Ctrl+Space to remove the formatting and convert the selection into plain text.

I typically review new technology while streaming live on Ustream

One of my favorites is Youmail.com which allows me to let unanswered cell phone calls go to youMail.com’s voicemail and come back to me as a transcribed email or text message. IN PERFECT ENGLISH! (transcribed by humans unlike Google Voice)

I bought the $3.99/month plan for up to 40 transcriptions.  LOVE IT!

What are backlinks? Backlinks are links that are out there on the web that point back to your site.

Why do you need them? Google and other search engines look at backlinks like votes.  The more links out there in the universe, the more likely that your site is a legitimate one because real people (webmasters back in the day) would have to place your link on their sites and therefore give your site a seal of approval. Of course this opened up the door for backlink software that would build backlinks for you.

If you have your website mentioned on a .gov or .edu site (government or education) Google will give THOSE links even more value and rank your page higher.

There is a lot to know about backlinking and you MUST do it ethically or you could be penalized for just throwing random links all over the web.  If you need help, let us know but in the meantime, here is a basic backlinking guide for you to understand how to create quality backlinks.

New York, NY  -  Jennifer Goodwin, Founder & CEO of the successful Virtual Assistant firm, internetGIRLfriday.com, has decided to share her success by telling the world how she grew a recession proof internet company using low cost or free software and social networking sites such as Facebook, Twitter and linkedin.com.

internetGIRLfriday’s new division, HowToGoVirtual.com, kind of an internet marketing university, boasts live video training with Jennifer as well as ‘How To’ tutorials on everything her and her diverse VA team have learned over the past 15 years of making money online.

Jennifer Goodwin says, “There have been so many scams that have made working from home seem like an urban myth. My team and I are out to educate home-based business entrepreneurs and small businesses to achieve their professional potential at the lowest cost possible. I want to share the same tools and techniques that I used to accomplish my success with internetGIRLfriday.com. Additionally, too many larger businesses are not able to hire the entry level or experienced professionals they need to run efficiently and are turning to the innovative solution of hiring virtual assistants or trying to figure out creative marketing on their own.”
