practical solutions. Virtual Assistant should also be competent and produce
work up to the client expectations, in a timely and prompt manner.

I
have wondering how
to start a business as a virtual assistant, elite office support internet
marketing consultant offers these tips:
- Decide just what type of services you want to offer, and analyze your background to ensure I have adequate experience.
- Determine my business niche-consider specializing in just two to three services.
- Determine how much time and energy I have to commit to my venture. Do I want to work part or full time?
- Conduct thorough industry research to determine a need for your services in my local area.
- Outline who my clients are, where they are and how to access them.
- Do a market analysis. Find out the needs for my niche and focus on how I'll apply that to own business.
- Know my budgetary constraints-projected expenses, expected income and how long I can "float" until my business is running successfully.
- Prepare a business plan and review it often to manage growth and change.
- Examine my equipment, software and work space to ensure they meet client needs.
- Wrap up all legal and financial aspects of start up before securing my first client.
- Market my services 24/7. Just because I've built a Web site or placed an ad in the Yellow Pages doesn't mean clients will come knocking on my door.
I might want to consider joining a professional organization or
networking group. This will give I the opportunity to network, build
camaraderie and have access to a knowledge bank for solving technical problems.
