Fantastic niche Shiloh! I do believe you'll be bringing alot of joy to many people.

Hi Deb, Welcome! I am also new to the forum, but believe me, you're going to walk away from here knowledge enriched. All the best with your new business!

Wow, very exciting @sovaprof! Hope it has been going really well for you! I will be able to launch my brand new website in the upcoming weeks and I'm very excited about it! Hope to hear from all those that posted here about how its going with the brand new launching of your websites/business.

Hi Lisa, Not sure if this will help, however, there's a site called www.coffeecup.com for web form building. We've used it and find it very helpful, maybe this could help you out a bit too.

Hi there, I just read on another post here in VAF of Logo Garden, www.logograden.com Looks like a really cool website and may be just what you need.

I also vote for MyReliableVirtualAssistant. To me it says what you do and makes me want to find out more about what you offer and how you can help me. The tagline "A spectrum of services" is also catchy. All the best with this!

Hi Tracy, Thanks for this tip! Even for someone like me who is graphically challenged, I too can now be creative! Thanks :-)

I invested in a very comfortable, supportive office chair and desk with a proper desklamp for those late nights :-) I also keep an electronic folder for all my e-books ranging from blogging to attracting clients to SEO management. You can never have enough information!

Great tips ladies! Definitely #1 is backing up and remembering routine maintenance on the laptop.

I bought a new laptop recently that come with Windows 8 and I'm loving it! Probably because I have an Android phone, so the look and feel is familiar. Great short cut tips : if you go to your windows page (or home page if you will) and just start typing, for instance, "Calculator" then it brings...

Hi Marj, I by force of habit (1) use my Outlook calendar as a reminder and don't snooze anything more than twice. (2) Try to group like-minded projects together, like social media, etc. (3) Focus 2-hours on every project cycle so that each of my clients get the attention they deserve. (4) Never...

I concur Alice! I am delighted that I signed up on VAF, as the extensive knowledge that has been shared is invaluable :-)

Shame Marie, wishing you all the very best, and may you take only good pointers from this exercise :-)

With existing clients I feel it is appropriate to send an email reminder a day before the time. When it comes to potential clients a week prior to the agreed meeting time and 1 day before the time has been acceptable so far.

Thanks so much for sharing this with us Serita! Some awesome stuff :-)

Awesome article! I love doing e-newsletters as it keeps my clients informed on what we are offering. And we also write & distribute e-newsletters of behalf of some of clients, and have achieved great results through this!

Although we don't offer call handling as a service right now, its good to know that there are so many options out there. I like the idea of Skype, as it means that I can continue working whilst being on standby to answer the phone.

Hi Nakebia! I'm very interested to find out how your business meeting went 2 weeks ago? I truly hope it was a great success!

This sounds great! And right up your alley by the looks of it. If you know the industry, the ins and outs required, who better to hire to manage the paperwork than you?! You have niche and that must feel so awesome! All the best :-)

I love Desktop Deputy VA! It's catchy, it's different and it makes me want to visit your website to find out more. We are general VA's at this point and find that it's working for us. We provide VA assistance from the medical industry to security straight across to manufacturing and online...
