I'm looking to join LinkedIn but I was wondering what category other VAs list their businesses as. Also, has anyone gotten clients through LinkedIn? Thanks!

Getting a category for Virtual Assistants is something I'm currently working toward. Please see the VA Industry group webpage. Or see this post. I think some people choose their target market or something close to those lines. For example you'll find me under Management Consulting because of my niche. Hope that helps!

I think that would be a huge step for everyone in our industry. I am currently using Management Consulting as my category.

Also is it a requirement to pay for the membership for LinkedIn or can one be successful with the site using the "free" side of it?

There are also groups on emarketing, social media, eoffice, etc. and I belong to those. I find Linkedin group discussion can be annoying when people post these blatant advertising posts, but occasionally there is fascinating information available, so I usually get the updates of the groups per email and scroll through the threads to decide what I want to read. This way I've already come across some interesting things. __________________ Heike Miller www.heikemiller.com
