If you’re a Virtual Assistant, you know that the one thing that is your lifeblood, the one thing that keeps your income steady, is a finding clients. Luckily, there are several ways to keep a steady stream of clients coming in through your door.
Here are just a few:
1. Advertise in Ezines. There are online newsletters everywhere that accept advertising. The key here is to purchase advertising in publications that reach your target market and to create your ad to showcase your expertise. Don’t try to be everything to everyone or you won’t attract clients.
Ad Example of what Not to Do: Hire me to lighten your workload. I can do everything that you don’t want to do. Let’s talk!
Ad Example of what works: Are you ready to get more leads to your business? I will handle your ezine advertising campaign for you. No more searching for targeted ezines, no more writing and tracking your ads. I’ll handle it all it all. My clients experience a boost in subscribers after I complete my ezine advertising campaigns that will pay for my services. Check out my website for testimonials and free tips.
2. Write and Submit Articles. The key here is to stay on topic. Don’t write and submit articles about health or pet care. Present a problem in your article and solve it. Make sure your author bio is very compelling to attract potential clients.
3. Network where *successful* people hang out. A huge mistake that VA’s make is to hand out on forums where there are other people struggling to make money. Instead, join a membership site for your target market and you’ll find yourself in the “inner circle”.
4. Advertise at Shelancers.com. One of the easiest ways to get your name in front of business owners looking for help is to advertise on Shelancers.com. Again, it is crucial that you list your specialty in order to stand out from the other providers. But, if you can find a problem that business owners face, and offer to handle it for them, you’ll attract loyal clients who will continue to work with you.
FreeAffiliateArticles.com | Article Writing: Can it help my Virtual Assistant Business?

Question: I’m a Virtual Assistant. Can I use articles to promote my business?
Signed, Eager VA
Dear Eager VA,
Virtual Assistants are springing up all around the internet. It’s a very viable business option and more work at home moms are jumping on the bandwagon every day. The real go-getters will whip up a “business card” website right away with their contact information, ‘about me’ information, and their rates and services offered.
But, then that website sits and collects dust while they wait for the traffic to roll in. So, what’s a Virtual Assistant to do to generate traffic to their website?
Oftentimes VAs overlook one of the best methods of marketing their websites – article writing. Virtual Assistants can write about all kinds of topics – how to organize emails, customer service, hiring or firing a VA, ways a VA can benefit a business, or accounting among other things. Then, they can share the articles, just like any other website owner to drive traffic to their websites and establish an expert status in their field.
If you’re a VA who’s new to article sharing, it’s actually quite easy. You write a helpful article and include your author bio at the end. (See the end of this article as an example.) Then, you submit your article to Article Directories where hungry website owners, blog owners and ezine publishers eagerly grab your article to publish it on their sites.
Now, there is stiff competition so it’s not quite that easy, but that’s the gist of how article sharing works. And, you know it works because you’re reading my article that I’ve written and shared with article directories. There’s my URL in the author bio and you’ve found my article because someone has published it on their website, blog or in their newsletter. If it works for me, it can work for you, too.
Article sharing is underutilized in the Virtual Assistant field and I hope to see that change in the coming year. Go grab that free traffic and grow your VA business. Not only will your VA business grow, but you can share this method of marketing with your clients and blow them away with your knowledge of internet marketing. Best wishes.

So, you’re an internet business owner and you want to get the word out about yourself, your business and your products or services. But, the only issue is you have little money to put out to fund the promotion of your existing business or the business you are starting. What is there to do? Well one great way to promote your online business fast and without expense is through article marketing.
Article Marketing is a “must do” for online business owners. With the many article directories out there it is also easy to do. Plus, if you’re not a writer yourself you can even easily find someone to write for you, such as A Writer for Hire’s team of ghostwriters, or buy articles through PLR and edit them to make them uniquely yours. There are several options for creating articles to help you promote your business.
The best part is not only do the articles show up on the article directory site, but they are then picked up by other business owners, newsletter creators, and possibly even newspapers and other media to use in their publications, giving you added exposure for your business. It truly is a winning opportunity.
It is important when submitting to article directories that you find directories that are in your niche or target market so that the articles will be found by those who are a perfect fit for your business. There are some specifically targeted directories, such as WAHM-Articles.com which targets work at home moms, or Christian Article Bank.com that targets Christians, but then there are some bigger directories which have sub directories in numerous topics, such as Associated Content. Some of these article directories even offer you the ability to make a profit from your articles.
Either way, you will benefit from submitting articles about your area of expertise or business to article directories. Need custom articles written for your business, contact A Writer for Hire today.

And she sounded just like me. I’ve found my writing clone and couldn’t be happier.”
