TVN Tip of the Week - Networking
************************************************************************************
Today's virtual world is not so far from the neighborhood marketplaces of a century ago. We join communities (like The Virtual Nation), have chats, and through our websites, we open a store and hang out a shingle.
But how do we effectively turn this into a business? For the new VA, promoting her business may take as much time as doing her business. Often the most obvious path (and one of the most effective) costs nothing. It is simple, free word-of-mouth networking.
No matter how long you have been in business, utilizing your existing relationships can springboard you to a new customer base.
Today's virtual world is not so far from the neighborhood marketplaces of a century ago. We join communities (like The Virtual Nation), have chats, and through our websites, we open a store and hang out a shingle.
But how do we effectively turn this into a business? For the new VA, promoting her business may take as much time as doing her business. Often the most obvious path (and one of the most effective) costs nothing. It is simple, free word-of-mouth networking.
No matter how long you have been in business, utilizing your existing relationships can springboard you to a new customer base.
#1 Send an email or quick hand-written note to every "boss" or manager from your "old life" -- before your VA business. Let them know what you are doing and ask for referrals. Chances are that they remember your hard work and creativity.
#2 Include everyone from your day-to-day contacts in a bi-monthy ezine (remember to have an opt-out button and full contact information to comply with email laws). Often, these personal relationships will net unexpected assignments and opportunities. (Need some ideas for your ezine? Check out The Virtual Nation's.)
#3 Volunteer a couple of hours a week to local organizations -- both those you belong to and those you don't. As VA's we all bristle at disorganization and jump in to serve our kids' scout troop and our church, but offering to assist your local chamber of commerce or political organization with mailings a few times a year can be big network builders. The point is, use your skills to make connections OUTSIDE of your every-day circle.
Turning your own relationships into business is like filling a vase with flowers from your own garden. These are people who know you and appreciate the unique flavor and warmth you bring to every situation. Invite them into your successful adventure as a VA, and in return, offer them the bargain of a lifetime -- the creative, talented, one-in-a-million YOU.

TVN Tip of the Week
***********************************************************************************
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.
