Re: Contact information for website
Hi Sheila:
I am with you. When I first started my biz, I didn't want to use any of my personal contact info on my site related to home. I wanted everything to be completely virtual. So, I did what other seasoned VAs suggested: get that PO box as soon as you can. I went to my local post office and I got the smallest PO box possible and only pay a total of less than $40/year. What's nice is that if I get more mail than my small PO box can hold, I will receive a slip in my mail box telling me to collect my mail at the counter of the post office.
As far as a fax number, I went to several sites and landed a fax number which is completely free if you have a certain number of incoming/outgoing faxes per day. Since most of the work is virtual, I have a feeling you'll receive more email traffic than fax, but it's always nice to have. Let me dig for where I registered for my fax number and I'll PM the info to you.
The bottom line is that when I see a website without more than an email address, it just doesn't appear quite as polished...I hope that makes sense. I have a lot to learn myself, so, I'm sure others may disagree with my response.
Happy to help you in any way that I can, so look for a PM from me later tonight or tomorrow.
Best wishes!
