I am very new ust working on my website just ordered my ebook. How did everyone determine there rates in the beginning? How did everyone get there first client? Any advice you hav please pass it along. Thanks just learning new things and cant wait to get my first client.
Congrats on the steps you are taking with your virtual assistant business. You won't find that we discuss rates, as it's against the rules of the forum. You might be interested in this area of the forum.
On the other hand, you will find lots of information regarding marketing your business here. You'll find that information in the "Marketing Your Virtual Assistant Business" area of the site.
Hope this helps a bit. I remember asking the same question.
You stated that you just ordered your ebook, that is where you will find answers to your questions. Each VA determines their rates differently however, be sure not to short change yourself.
Ditto on what Lee said. Another invaluable resource for me, when it comes to Lee's comment about not short-changing yourself, is Kendall Summerhawk @ kendallsummerhawk.com
Yes, check out the link that Paulette suggested! And as far as getting new clients, get your name out there through Social Media networking such as Twitter, Facebook and LinkedIn. Also, find some business group meetups that may be in your area so you can get to know other business owners such as yourself. Those give you an opportunity to pitch your business so other people can start referring you to their clients.
