I have mostly worked on the billing side, so I guess that's a start.

There is enough clinics (eye, dental, chiropractic...) that you could get enough work just focusing on transcription and billing.

Hi Veebot! I am wondering which internet course did you take as I am trying to find out which certification is best for me... as I too, am a newbie. Thanks for you help!

Retain & gain clients by subcontracting with me!

Your client will gain more time than what you have
You keep the client, I do the work
Offer expertise outside your skillset such as bookkeeping, excel spreadsheets and podcasting

Give projects to me and seek out more clients

Software research
Bookkeeping
Create and maintain your profiles
Create excel spreadsheets
Send out newsletters
Maintain email
Web research
You yell for help. I'll be at your side ..............

My niche revolves around 'best selling' be that your book, your expertise, your services, your business/corportation or your products.

I offer a wide variety of services that include but aren't limited to:
Web Planning and Development (We offer everything that includes but specialize in open source solutions CMS CRS such as Joomla as a single example)
Search Engine Optimization and Marketing
Custom Software Solutions and Development
Marketing and Publicity
Content Management
Submissions (Social media marketing, articles, blogs, etc...)
Administrative assistance from A to Z (including Secretarial/receptionist duties)

Graphic Design
Flash Multimedia
Newsletter Design and Support
Problem Solving
Tele-Summits
Tele-Seminars
Event Planning

and more but the list has to stop somewhere!

I really enjoy doing promotions, it is so very rewarding to see authors (for example) reach the NY times best seller list (for example) on their release day!

I've always worked by referral and struggling to publish my own site atm (I seem to be terrible at writing about myself, go figure) but if you want to sneak a peak at it in a 'pre' stage it is at www.steinwebservices.com and all feedback is welcome!

Great thread btw!

This is really a great list. I am so glad it was posted. I am still trying to find out what my niche will be.

You might want to consider a 'VA' line. You can buy a phone number from any where in the world (I live in Germany with US and UK phone numbers, also great to keep in touch with my family in the US) through Skype. In addition there are hosting services (like hostgator) who include free toll-free numbers in their web hosting packages. This toll-free number could be set up with forwarding services to your home or skype number making you either a free call or at worst a national long distance call away.

In addition with Skype you can purchase multiple numbers ($60 a year and 50% off with a package) to hit each major region where the majority of your clients are based.

I wanted to add that with a 'VA line' you can give your clients to give to their clients, and often the client is willing to pay for this so they can select the number and area code.

Great Thread!

Still new and in the set up stages, I am fine tuning my list of services. My experience is in the medical software field so I think I am going to focus there as my specialty.

Very helpful thread. Who knew there was so much out there that can be done virtually?!

I'm fine tuning the type of services I want to offer, too. I'd like to offer something our Coaching team doesn't, like Social Marketing setup with Facebook, Twitter, etc. and target this niche group. Possibly expand to women-owned business in my area (we have a great networking group that I'm going to start hanging out with).

Many ideas running through my head!

Im still in the formation stage but my specialty is debt collections including judgment enforcement.
