The article So You Want To Be A Virtual Assistant is well worth reading if being a VA is one of your dreams for 2008.
It’s easy to get excited about starting your own business, tell your boss to “take this job and __________________” and strike out on your own. But too many times, this only causes you to “strike out”.
The best thing about being a Virtual Assistant is that you can start part time working at home and gradually build up a clientele. You could “get your feet wet” working through websites like “Team Double Click” or advertising on Craigslist.
While it’s tempting to spend all your time online socializing with other working (or wannabe) VA’s, you need to develop contacts that will get you business like through a Chamber of Commerce or leads clubs that may exist in your area too.
Will you reach your goal of being a Virtual Assistant in 2008? Only if you have a solid plan and approach and are successful in marketing your business.
