After vigorous research and introspection, I decided that the best type of work-at-home job for me is virtual assistance. It is a natural fit, since I have been doing admin assistant type work for many years-- I just never realized that I could do it as a contractor! This forum is GREAT! I have found so many answers to my questions, and so many questions I didn't think to ask myself! After a few months, I have my name, logo, business plan, website up, FB page, and now <gulp> I'm trying to decide on the course of action to take to market myself. I see that the book Guerilla Marketing is a big hit here and I just checked my local library and they have it, so hopefully I'll get some bright ideas and inspiration!

Chela,
As another new person here on VAF, welcome! You're much further along than I, but I hope to be following close behind.

My website is getting most of my attention at the moment. I like yours -- the clouds are great. But, I noticed that your buttons on the services page look 'fuzzy' -- is there a better way to present the information, so that it matches the quality of the rest of your site?

Hi Chela and welcome! I am also a newbie and I have found this site to be not only informative but inspiring. I love the work everyone is doing and you seem to be moving along quickly. Good luck!!

Welcome Chela.

You will get great ideas here and inspiration here. May you find success in your new business.

Welcome to the forums - I just looked at your website and see what Margaretta is stating about the "blurry" on the Service tab - it looks like just the top red Data Management block is "blurry". But I love your website and welcome to the Virtual World.

Hi, Chela. I am a newbie also so I am in the starting up phase bur you are a lot further along than I am. I work a fulltime job so I am on the forums every chance I can get in my spare time. I took a look at your website...nice! I really like the CAPTCHA CODE piece for verification of human form. Good luck in your venture and see you on the forums.
Wendy
