I've been doing VA work for someone out of necessity because I moved, and just decided to expand and open a business doing it. It's great to see so many different people on here who are already doing it successfully. I've already gotten a lot of great ideas just reading through the threads. Working on my website this week!!!

I've started networking and have found so far nobody knows what I mean when I say virtual assistant. That gives me the opportunity to get their attention and tell them what I do, instead of having to overcome preconceived notions.

I am mainly focusing on doing Real Estate assistant work and in some parts of the US it is very common to have an assistant, but in NJ not so much. We must educate them! Good Luck in your new venture. Tina Virtual Assistant Services __________________ TINA LONGO TOP PRODUCER CERT. PROFESSIONAL
