Default I am starting a Virtual Office Assistant Business
Hello everyone I am new to this and I recently decided to enter the virtual assistant business. I have been doing admin assistant as well as legal assistant work for quite some time now and I have decided to work from home and become my own boss. I wanted to get some ideas from people that has been in my position. I have a computer, blackberry, printer, scanner and copier. I need some dos and don't's of this industry. What do I need to start? I am really good at marketing since I single handly brought in over 30 clients within a 3 month time frame for my husbands lawn care service. I wanna try to do this without going to a Virtual Assistant training course that will most likely teach me things I already knew I could do. Please feel free to leave anything no comment or answer is dumb to me. I do not have anything on clients right now and contracts and things like that. Thanks alot

to VAF! The pp is correct -- just start jumping in with your questions and ideas you will find great support here. A great place for documents (contracts, etc) is the document library and once you reach 25 posts you can access it.

Good luck on your business.
