Default Business from Social Networks
Hi Everyone

I'm just interested to see how many VA's have actually gained clients from the various Social Networks and which ones you have gained the most clients from?

I have managed to secure a few from Twitter, but also had enquiries from LinkedIn and Facebook.

Linked In has been the most valuable for me in making connections and getting business.

Well, we offer social media services so the majority of our business comes from social networks and blogs to be honest.

Twitter has been helpful for us. We have built relationships with a few of our followers and then they have referred us to some of their clients or people they know that could use us.

I find Twitter to be quite useful like this - you can search on certain terms, you can post what you are doing. I use Facebook too and have picked up a couple of clients that way.
