Default Re: VA Agencies
Hi Kiki

I am preferring not to register with a VA agency (for now at least), partly because I want to be my own boss and not be beholden to someone else! Yet again I may change my mind if business doesn't pick up though lol!

Websites are a good method of marketing yourself and, whilst you will have a web presence with agencies, those I have looked at are not really dynamic! They are not difficult to set up and will reap you benefits sooner than you might think.

I have recently been made redundant and, whilst I have a small cushion in redundancy pay, I understand the need to be able to make a fast buck!

Find yourself a suitable name and tag line, make up some business cards and flyers and market yourself locally at first. Tell everyone you meet what you do and make sure you give them something to remember you by... (by that I of course mean a business card lol).
