Default Are your clients local, long-distance or a combination
Most of my clients are local (the furthest one is an hour away) but I know many VAs work with clients over long distances. What is your client mix?

Mostly local that I received from referrals, but I have a mix.

All long distance, 95% in New York, all referrals (except the one, who was my first client - I 'met' her via Craigslist.)

I work with both, local and long distant clients. There is something about the virtual world I absolutely love, so I prefer long distant clients over local ones.
