Default What about this?!?!
I have been doing some thinking here lately I am currently offering my services to basically anyone, huge range. What about specializing in being a Virtual Assistant for Virtual Assistants? So many of the VA's I speak with on a daily basis, have mentioned the need for a VA. What do you think?

My current clients consist of: Coaches, Web Developer & IT support business. I do their invoicing, calendar management, making sure everyone has the proper documents to begin the coaching process, feedback forms, signing contracts, data entry, spreadsheets, follow up emails & phone calls. That's just to name some of what I do. All of the items mentioned are tasks VA's need done as well.

My question is this..Do you think there is need for this niche? I know they're some very successful VA's around here, would this be something you would consider? I'm not just talking about outsourcing a few projects here and there..

I'm interested to hear feedback on this!

Kena,

Interesting question and concept. I am sure there are many VA's who have specialty services that would love to have this option from another known and trusted VA.

I know that there are VAs out there that do specialize in offering support to other VAs. I think it is a great idea Kena!

Great idea! I've read about other VA's saying it is time for them to get their own VA!

I have a client who is a VA and supports an executive coach. We just started working together a few weeks ago and it is going well! She is currently traveling and I'm here to handle the tasks she is not able to do right away. She gives me complete access to her computer so I can check her emails, update files, etc. This will open the doors for many opportunities for both of us!

Have a great day!

hmm! Positive response from the ones that did reply, but not a huge response all together though. Maybe I should do some more brainstorming on this?

Kena,

Fantastic idea and it does exist. In fact, I am interviewing a VA today for a future podcast who does just that!

Keena,

I noticed you are a VA to webdeveloper and IT department. I am currently going for my bachelors degree in Networking Technology. Do you have a listing of all technological companies that might be in need of a VA assistant?

Thanks

No. Actually, my very first client was the Web Developer and then he referred me to the IT support business. I would say your just going to have to get out there and market yourself in that specific area. It would have been nice for us all to start out with list .

Sorry, I couldnt be more help to you!

Kena, I just wanted to chime in and say that I think it's a good idea, too. I also know of some VAs who already do this, so you are in good company and you would be in demand. Go for it!
