Virtual P.A./Secretarial services

**Buttoneska** · 21-10-2011 14:07

some sort of home section or section thats not specifily for ppl with kids?

I run a retail food business so something with that would be good.

Services - like carpentary, gardening, lawn mowing etc

In addition to virtual pa/bookkeeping/accounting

oh and

-info/how to sections with areas such as
-tax
-business planning
-small business website links
-liscenses and registrations
-gst/abn

business networks groups
-either for ppl in same area
-ppl in same industry

there is a really great website/forum i use in relation to all the above - if you would like me to PM you the details I can - may be some good ideas you can incorporate.

also - with the paying/subscription thing would it mean ALL the hubbers can view your business/ask questions or only other ppl who have subscribed/have businesses? or both?

Anyone would be able to view the directory, only members who are logged in will be able to post 'comments' to businesses (ie ask questions etc) and only members with 300+ posts and who sign up can list in the directory.

We can set up a How To area in the forum section for discussing business matters (which will be separate to the actual directory)

I'm a toy maker I guess. I make sock monkeys and will soon be adding other sock critters. So maybe a toys area? I know some people who make beautiful wooden toys too.

I would love to see a tradies section and maybe a section for people who only have a Facebook page and not an actual website?
I will have to look at getting a website at some stage, but for now it is Facebook only

I think that any eligible bubhubber should be able to list - you don't need to have a registered business. So if you are a graphic designer, for example, at home with your kids & you don't have a job, but you'd be happy to offer your experience for odd jobs here & there, I think you should be able to have a listing too. Agree?

I think this is a fabulous idea, however I have been a regular visitor to bubhub for a couple of years now but only recently signed up, so does that mean I would miss out on this opportunity because I don't post on the forum and only get great advice from reading all the info on here? I really hope this isn't the case, otherwise I'm going to be very busy posting to get my numbers up...
I am just about to launch my new business which is baby swimwear/swim nappies (specialising in sizes 000-1).

Doesn't matter whether you have a facebook page, a website, no website at all, you just link to whatever you want to link for your listing in the forum directory so we don't need a separate section for those with only FB pages. (this is different to our main directory).

Hi CatRog

We already have a popular and successful directory on the bubhub http://www.bubhub.com.au/directory/ where business can list for free. You don't have to be a member of the forum or anything like that at all.

The idea behind the new forum directory that we are discussing here, is to allow our regular contributors the opportunity to promote their businesses or services - be they full-on registered businesses, small at-home businesses or just a skill that's not being used whilst you are a stay-at-home-parent (eg design skills, data entry, etc). Members want to be able to deal with other members that they interact with on here.

We love that you are able to find the info that you are after by reading the forums - but whilst you may know our members from their posts, they don't know you if you don't post! You are welcome to a free listing in our main directory - but at the moment, the forum directory is aimed at providing listings for regular contributors to the forum only (ie those with 300+ posts).

The forum directory will be visible by everyone though
