Looking for Subcontracting Work?
Are You Getting Your Name Out There Among Your Peers?

Talk to anyone building a business in the VA world, and the conversation will quickly turn to clients -- either the search for more, or managing those we already have. One of the best solutions to these challenges is subcontracting. The new VA will often find a client base in her own peers who are further down the career path, and established VA's can share their abundance and experience with talented and enthusiastic newcomers.

If you are one of those newcomers, however, the question becomes how do you get your name out there in the least expensive way. Certainly joining professional groups, such as The Virtual Nation or the IVAA is a strong introduction, and as soon as time and resources will allow, every one of us should have a virtual presence through websites and ezines, etc.

Another vibrant, inexpensive way to gain exposure, especially if you haven't had the time to develop a web presence yet, is through banner and ezine ads on already established Ezines. At the Marketplace on The Virtual Nation's website, you can find exactly these types of opportunities for as little as $25.00. You can even publish your own article this way with live links and archival.

With minimum research there are many other such opportunities for affordable peer exposure and the chance to develop strong business relationships and mentoring opportunities. Embracing these opportunities is a win-win for all of us in the VA world.
