As
a Virtual Assistant, your mode of operation depends on the pattern or choice
you deem best to get clients. A decision to open your own business might be
more interesting to you than working for another VA who might have already
established.
If you choose to start your own business, it
might not be so smooth in canvassing for clients and doing it alone, however, determination
will pay off as this business requires you to be self motivated. There are many
websites where a V.A can bid for projects and choose clients. Such sites include;
Elance, Guru,
and Rent-A-Coder etc. Most of
these sites require only registration and updating your profile to show your
eligibility for the jobs you intend to take. Although there are fees to be paid
during registration, a person has option of registering without paying
anything. Your work will entail awarding you projects (jobs) on those sites
depending on your own skill and unique
list of services which you offer, executing the project and having your money
wired to you through any pre-arranged electronic means.
As you can see, you might end up not meeting
any person in the course of transacting the business. It all will be arranged
from the comfort of your office/room. Other methods of sourcing for job locally
is by distributing flyers and making sure people you meet are handed your
complimentary card. With that, and other local means of publicity (which we
will treat on a different topic), will surely attract clients.
