How to Become a Virtual Assistant-Finding Clients - Their Needs

"Testimonial for this process - just in case you were wondering if you really should be bothered...

I think the 'Clients - who needs them?' fact sheet is an excellent tool for focusing on and finding your target market. I have to confess this has been a particular thorn in my side whilst setting up partly because my skill base is so diverse that it worries me that I have looked more like a dabbler than a skilled professional.

After quite long and, at times, arduous trial and error sessions I believe I have finally found my niche(s) :) but if I had had a document like your fact sheet from the outset it would definitely have saved me time and money. As I am currently reviewing my business plans and marketing strategies I will use your fabulous document for a final assessment because it has raised questions that I have not taken into consideration.

Using the "Clients - who needs them?" factsheet is a great start for finding that niche that will allow you to stand out from the rest of the 'crowd'. Once you know your niche it is much easier to find clients who can work with you. Your Virtual Assistant advertising budget can be spent specifically on attracting them and not in a generalised way.
