Profit Growth Strategy #10 For Virtual Assistants

Virtual Assistants who possess excellent writing skills should use those skills to create articles for their clients. There are several ways to do this which will give additional credibility to your client and generate more business. Profit growth for your client will generally mean profit growth for you.

Ghost writing an article is the first way to help your client. You can interview him and take notes about a relevant topic in an industry that your client supports. Then you can write the article and send it under his name to trade associations or media outlets that may be interested.

Advocacy is another approach. Your clients should be aware of issues that affect the livelihood of his clients. Therefore you should be aware of these issues too. You can draft letters to legislative leaders or letters to the editor supporting particular viewpoints. This gives your client more credibility and attracts more attention to his understanding of the industry he supplies.

The last approach we will discuss is to write about your client’s clients. While this may sound odd, if you act on behalf of your client and write articles about the great work his clients are doing, you will generate more business for them and probably for your client. In addition, you may earn a new client in the process.

Focusing on the needs of others, especially profit growth, is one of the most effective ways to grow your own business. Profits allow your clients to expand. Their growth means more business for you and your VA team and other network partners.

employees or 1099? - In my line of work, we are trying to keep our costs down and stay as "virtual" as possible. I was wondering if anyone had some insight as to whether I should hire employees or contractors? My apologies, here is a description of the situation so you might actually be able to answer my question. Little Man Consulting has a policy to NOT meet with clients unless they are truly against the completely virtual environment. As my company has quadropled in size this year alone, I am finding it harder and harder to keep up with the work and still grow the business. There are other Virtual Assistants out there. Should I farm out the work, or bring in employees?
Re: How can I promote my site? - [quote="Hulbert Lee":krqwp5om]You can promote your website through blog commenting, forum posting, article directories, software directories, and search engine optimization.[/quote:krqwp5om] In addition, I would also recommend running some contest if you have a blog. Keep it simple for a starter, offer good/fun prizes, and find a "community" of bloggers to spread this contest/news by of course asking them nicely and propose that it would benefit both of your sites. See how that works, and if you want to, you could also join some carnivals. We have tried this for the company that I work for (Pepper Virtual Assistants) and it's given us great exposure in the online business industry.
