Hi, in reply in my experience, facebook hasn't been successful for me in obtaining clients, but that hasn't been my aim. I have my facebook account for family and friends, hobbies (I make jewellery) and for networking with other like-minded virtual assistants, to share ideas, problems and solutions with each other. The only contacts I have received from so called "clients" have been spam emails asking for my bank account!!, I know this because my personal email address is on facebook and for some reason facebook doesn't allow you to change your primary email address, so "business" emails have been sent there, whereas clients would look at my website. I hope this helps.
