Default VA in London, UK
Hi all

I've been toying with the idea of setting myself up as VA for a while now and how life goes I am now stuck working for a company I don't like and don't enjoy my working days anymore. From bad comes always good, as they say and here I am, putting myself out there hoping to establish myself fairly quickly.

I am based in London, UK - which has quite a few VA's but I haven't found a forum here as helpful as this.

Today I purchased my domain and will tackle the task of website design as soon as my domain is linked to my account (which should be done by tomorrow morning). Hope this is a fairly quick affair and I can move on to marketing and networking.

So a big hello to everyone on here!

Speak soon
Kat x

Welcome to he VAF,

"Today I purchased my domain and will tackle the task of website design as soon as my domain is linked to my account (which should be done by tomorrow morning)."

Your domain name should be accessible immediately after purchase. (with in the minute of purchase conformation)

Good Luck

Hi Kat, welcome to the forums
Congratulations on making those first steps toward changing your work situation from something you no longer enjoy to something you can love!
First steps are always exciting - the whole process can be, actually - especially when you have a great community of like-minded entrepreneurs to brainstorm with.

Hi

I am in Kent (just down the road!). You seem to be in the same boat as me. I am just setting myself up as a VA too, so I can do the work I enjoy and work for myself.

This is a very friendly place and is full of extremely useful information and resources! Good luck with your new venture.

Look forward to "speaking" to you in the forums.

Regards,

Kerry
