My first client I got by word of mouth (my own!) when I let my landlord know that I will be offering my services. He also has a home renovation business. My second is subcontracting with another REVA on here, and I have numbers 3 through 5 hovering in the wings. Number 3 I am presenting to on Thursday. I subcontracted my services before I knew I was a VA to my old broker when I lived in Florida. So I guess, technically, he and his wife were my first client.
I forgot to mention that numbers 3 through 5 are a result of my blog.
