Welcome Tracey,
Where from in New Jersey are you from? I grew up in Union County (Roselle) to be exact. Welcome aboard.... Can you tell us more about what you do?

I`m originally from NJ, but have been in the midwest for way too many years. I don`t actually have my business started yet but was hoping you might be able to tell me what was the hardest part of getting your Virtual Assistant business up and running.

Hi Edgar,

I`m located in the Cherry Hill, NJ area... its about 20 minutes south of Philly.

I`d be happy to give you more insight into what I do!  Currently, my target market is small business owners of all industries.  I would eventually like to narrow that down to a more specific  market.  I provide administrative assistance to business owners, virtually.  I handle all tasks using today`s technology, eliminating the need for in-person completion.  This is a very cost effective way for business owners to utilize  an assistant to complete  administrative tasks for them, so they can focus more on growing their business... or just having more time to have some fun!  I "partner" with a business owner, i.e. take a genuine interest in their company`s goals and objectives.  I listen to what their current processes are, and make suggestions on working more efficiently and effectively.  I take a genuine interest in their success as I enjoy seeing businesses succeed from their hard efforts (from one business owner to another!).  Thereby, I add time to their day by handling their administrative tasks so they can focus on having some fun, or working on their business growth.  Thanks for the inquiry into what I do!

Hi Polygirl,

I wish you luck with starting your VA business.  I think you will find it very rewarding once you do!

The hardest part for me is identifying a target market that truly matches my skills and personality.  With a target market, you`ll be able to speak directly to your audience and truly enjoy what you`re doing.  I`ve also found marketing to be difficult.  I did a direct mailing, and that resulted in zero inquiries, and zero hits to my website.  I`m currently involved in organizations, both online and offline, to network in.  I`ve found that I`m enjoying myself.  Rather than trying to obtain clients by networking, I`m finding that I just enjoy the learning that comes with it!  By the way, you`re taking a right step by being involved in this forum!

If you are interested in becoming a VA, please check out www.virtualassistantnetworking.com .  Thats the Virtual Assistant Chamber of Commerce and has alot of valuable information to help you on your journey.  There are standards that must be met before you are accepted as they truly believe you should offer administrative tasks as a VA.  However, it is worth it as I`ve learned so much there! 

If you have any questions about the VA industry, I would be more than happy to help you!

Tracey
