Hello everyone,

I am new VA in Charlotte, NC. I have just got my business up and running, I will take any advice I can get. Right now I am especially interested in advertising to gain clients. I am on shoestring budget.

Thanks

Hello and welcome to the community Feel free to post back with your name, or add it to your signature, if you're up for it.

What a GREAT company name you found - amazing that you were able to get that in a .com as well. I love that! There is so much great marketing and tagline potential there.

Looking forward to reading your contributions to the boards

Hi there! Welcome! VAF is a great place as you've probably already seen. I'm originally from Charlotte - so it's always cool to see other VAs from my home town.

In terms of advertising - for me, there's been nothing better than word of mouth/referrals from people I already know (plus it's free). I'd say if you haven't already, send out a "heads up" email to your network of friends, family, + past coworkers to just let them know you're around + available to help... + that you'd appreciate it if they'd pass on your info to anyone they think might be interested!

HTH + see you around!
