Is Finding a Niche For Your VA Business Really Necessary?

One of the things that comes up quite often in my discussions with VAs is whether they need to find a niche to be successful. My answer to this question is a definite YES and NO. Choosing a niche is a personal choice, like everything else in your business. There are advantages and disadvantages to deciding to work with a particular group of people. If you’re not sure what I mean by finding a niche, it’s basically choose to segment a group of people to target your networking/marketing/work with. You can choose a group by the industry they are part of (ie travel industry), orby type of person they are (married with families, female solopreneurs) or the service you provide (WordPress websites).… Read More »Is Finding a Niche For Your VA Business Really Necessary?

What Makes You Different Than Other Virtual Assistants?

Have you ever had anyone ask you why your clients work with you? As a coach, I ask people this all the time. And a lot of time, I get the answer, ‘I don’t know.’ It’s okay to answer the question that way, but then we have to get into what the answer should be. Let’s take it from you being the consumer. It’s like anything you buy – what helps you to make the decision to pick one brand over another? I’ll use my toothpaste example! (I use this in my Getting Started program!) One toothpaste is family size. Another is travel size. One toothpaste is white paste. Another is gel. One toothpaste has whitening properties. Another does not. One is… Read More »What Makes You Different Than Other Virtual Assistants?

Add New Skills To Your Virtual Assistant Business

Recently a Virtual Assistant asked me about adding new skills to her business. She felt that she wanted to raise her rates, and that adding new services was the way to do that. When we talk about expanding our service offerings, it’s important to start by stepping back and looking at the big picture. Ask yourself the following questions: 1. Why am I considering adding a new skill or service? 2. Why am I considering adding THIS new skill or service? 3. Where can I learn about this new skill or service? 4. Is the training free or paid? Can I afford the time if it’s free, and can I afford the time and money if it’s paid? 5. Is… Read More »Add New Skills To Your Virtual Assistant Business

The Number 1 Reason You Don’t Have Enough VA Clients

I recently came across an old teleclass I did from 2010 – 3 Secrets to Get High Paying Clients to Call You – and as I listened to it I realize that this is really important information for you to have and practice – so I reran the class as a webinar, with a new Powerpoint presentation. I speak with many VAs in my networking who are struggling to get clients – and though there are many reasons for this, there is one that is the most important … they don’t know who they can best support. They haven’t figured it out. Is this you? If so, don’t worry – it’s easy to do … and it’s an absolutely essential… Read More »The Number 1 Reason You Don’t Have Enough VA Clients
