Personal Assistant Service
For a budding entrepreneur looking for a new line of business, putting
up a Online Virtual Assistant service can be a good way of earning
money. A personal assistant is someone who assists on daily business
and personal tasks, and they usually do scheduling, travel
arrangements, and research. Some personal assistant services also
feature shopping and personal styling. As a home based task, this
career path is great for people with a great sense of organization and
innate desire to help.
So, how does one get started? AS with all things, check for the demand
in your immediate locality. Most of the clientele who use a personal
assistant service are upper middle class and up, so if the
demographics in your area are against you, you may want to consider
making your service an online or virtual one.
Draw up a list of virtual assistant companies that you are willing to
offer, and think about pricing. You may want to scope out the
competition so you have an idea of the service list and pricing range
you can offer. As a budding business, do not fret if your service list
is a bit to general or a bit too bare, you can fine tune as you go
along. And as this is a business, you would want to think about
pricing your Virtual Assistant Services services well. This is the
time to think of, do I charge an hourly rate, or work on retainer? How
do I go about charging expenses incurred, such as gas and call
minutes?
Then, it's time to set up your office and attend to the administrative
end of things. This would mean setting up shop complete with a
computer, a fax and phone lines, an email account, a cell phone and
stock your office with supplies. This would also be the part where you
will think about naming your business and branding your hire virtual
assistant service. You would also want to create a website to get you
visibility and so prospective clients can check you out.
Finally, it's time to start marketing. As a personal assistant service
is most often built on a good reputation, start networking and gaining
referrals as best as you can. AT first most clients will be direct
contact or personal referrals, but as you build your business you can
expand to make the most of internet directed traffic. Think of great
Virtual Secretarial Service such as special offers or promotions to
get you started.
