Virtual Assisting has become one of the most exciting and rewarding home-based businesses.  What a privilege it is to be a part of such an evolutionary industry that continually grows and offers new opportunities and rewards for those coming into the business and those veteran pros as well.  Marketing your Virtual Assistant business can be a rewarding adventure, providing you with permanent clientele and additional profits.
 
Here are some marketing ideas to help grow your virtual assistant business:
 
Tip #1 - Fill a need.  Be aware of what your clients need even before they tell you.  What can you do that will make their business better? What skills do you possess that sets you apart that would meet the needs of your potential clients?
 
Tip #2 -- Find a mentor or a coach.  Find someone who already has gone before you and knows what works and what doesn’t.  Why make the same mistakes, when you can avoid them and learn the best ways to do things. 
 
Tip #3 - Market to Your Existing Clients:  Your existing clients already know the caliber of work that you do so let them market for you.  Always do your absolute best for them and they will keep you around for a long time and they will tell others.
 
Continually tell them of new services or features.  Send out a newsletter or even a tip of the week to keep your name in front of them.  And when was the last time you called or emailed them "Hey, how are you doing?  How's business going?"  A personal, "What's been happening" call can or email can make a very favorable impression
 
Tip #4  - List Tips on Your Website:  One of the ways to prove your expertise is to list on your website the things you know.  This shows your clients and potential clients that you know what you are talking about. 

Tip #5 – Get involved on Social Networks:  Getting active on Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, and others not only helps you connect with others, but puts you front and center to potential clients.  Provide useful information and post regularly.
 
Tip #6 -- Add a P.S. to your Signature Line:  We all know how important that signature line is for your business success. Here's a simple way to make it even more profitable--Add a P.S. to your e-mail messages.  You can offer your clients additional discounts or let them know about a new service.  Did you just get a new VA certificate?  Tell them! This can be a perfect opportunity to perhaps toot your horn a little. 
 
Market your way to success in your business!  And lastly, enjoy your marketing.  When clients see that you enjoy what you're doing, they want to do business with you.
