For Small-business Owners, Virtual Assistants, and Freelancers
Thursday, 15 October 2026
I’m not interested in AI replacing the human part of my work. I’m interested in what happens when human experience, creativity, and judgement are combined with a tool that can give me another perspective, another set of ideas, and access to knowledge that I might not have on my own.
I recently advised a client to archive and backup their email before a move to a new hosting company, which required hunting down some email archiving software that would work on their Windows/Outlook set up and be straightforward to use. The right archiving software will connect direct to your IMAP/POP3 email accounts as well as a range of popular email programs—or is that old fashioned now, perhaps apps would be more apt.
Having a secure, fast, and reliable connection to the Internet is the A1 priority of a virtual assistant business—without it we can’t operate.
The PodiumPad’s ‘rock-solid, adjustable-tilt pivot base’ provides four different positions for your laptop, including a negative keyboard tilt so you can make yourself comfortable for long periods of typing.
So what better way than to test it out for myself. If you already have a Google sign-in, then you can just sign into Knol and start typing something of which, hopefully, you do know something about.
