Where do I find Virtual Assistant Clients?

A couple days ago, I ran a seminar at VANetworking on how Virtual Assistants can create a powerful new niche as a Social Marketing VA. One of the questions that was posed by a participant was "How do I find the businesses that will be interested in these Social Marketing Services?" Good Question.... Well, one of my comments was that you need to go to where your most ideal clients hang out on the web - that is a good starting point. The follow-up question is: "Where do they hangout?" Well, I am going to get into all this in a post series I am starting this week, but I found a great place to start.... BMighty came out with the "Best Blogs for Smaller Businesses" - they list 10 popular, high volume blogs that cover topics for SMBs (small/medium businesses) such as business tools, productivity, business management, technology etc... Let me tell you.... The small biz audience that are reading these blogs are EXACTLY the type of clients hiring Virtual Assistants like crazy right now. I would highly recommend adding these blogs to your RSS reader and join the conversation on topics that matter to your prospective clients. This is a great opportunity to share relevant information and potentially talk about Virtual Assistance in a natural way. These blogs have covered Virtual Assistant-related topics and given the VA buzz we are seeing right now, they will likely continue to discuss the value of outsourcing and delegating small biz tasks to VAs like yourself. Look for more on the all important topic of finding ideal Virtual Assistant clients this week!
