Hi,
Well, we’ve been talking about becoming a Virtual Assistant for the last couple of posts. Today I wanted to mention how to get some training for the position.
Many times the idea of becoming a Virtual Assistant is a little daunting, because you don’t know what business owners are going to be looking for. What kind of tasks will they want performed and will you be able to handle the tasks? These are normal questions to have when you’re starting out, but there’s some help available.
Hi again,
I hope you had a nice weekend. I can’t believe July is coming to a close already. It’s always been one of my favorite months, because it means we’re in the “heat of summer.” Yes, I like it warm!
To continue on with our discussion on becoming a Virtual Assistant, you can “niche” this position to specialize in specific tasks that you offer or you can choose a particular group of people to specialize in.
Hi,
I’d like to do a short series (2-3 posts) on becoming a Virtual Assistant. I chose this because it’s a popular field today that’s in high demand, especially among online business owners.
Many business owners hire certain aspects of their job out to Virtual Assistants (VA’s). VA’s can be lifesavers, taking on tasks that the entrepreneur just doesnt’t have time to do, or doesn’t know how to do, or doesn’t like to do.
I have contact with other people’s VA’s and, let me tell you, they really can make a difference. They answer emails for business owners and do problem shooting. They can make the business owner look good, if they answer emails in a timely manner and are friendly and helpful. I know they take a big strain off the business owner, taking some of the more routine tasks off their hands.
What exactly is a Virtual Assistant and what do they do?

If you have wondered how to start a web design business, I have a unique recommendation for you.
How about starting a local web design business, where you encourage local business owners to put their business online in an interactive web 2.0 type of site? If you live in a small area, you probably won’t have much competition. If you live in a larger city, break it down to your town/community. Learn the right way to approach business owners to either get online or to improve their existing web presence to an interactive website. This is the wave of the future and has great potential!
Hi,
Last time, we talked about free ways to advertise. That is mainly what I use, but there is the time and place for paid advertising as well.
If there is a website in your niche that gets a lot of targeted traffic, it may be worth it to pay to advertise on their site. When considering this, ask the website owner how many unique visitors they get per month. Usually, advertising on websites is pretty reasonably priced, so you can try it for a month and see what kind of results it brings.
