Make it Great

Or lack there of, but you get the point….

I have decided to become a Virtual Assistant- VA! I actually like it a lot so far. I am doing a few free assignments to build up my portfolio and testimonial page. It is not hard work at all!

So how does this help you, you ask? Because I have tips, we all know I love me some tip giving!

If you are feeling like things are just not taking off in your business, try adding to your product line or doing something else complimentary. Since working from home, I have taught myself a few skills. I am not a computer expert, but I am computer a bit computer savvy. So, I talked to a friend who is a VA about the business, just casual convo, and I was like "You make how much! Just to do that!" I knew I was over qualified for the position. The hard part though is finding the clients. They are out there, believe me they are, you just have to find them or get them to find you.

Now, I am not saying go all out and find 258503 businesses to start, but take all the things you know about working from home and build your own business with it.

Examples:

You built your whole website from scratch, right? Well, I know you know about SEO (search engine optimization). Well, offer SEO services for new WAHMs.

You have been marketing your products for years, you go from store to store trying to get your products into stores. You have learned something, right? Start a business where you get other people’s products into stores.

You made all your marketing aids yourself, with your very own printer. You made brochures, business cards, catalogs, you name it you made it. Did they work? Make sales aids for other WAHMs.

Did you have to mail 53433 samples every week to interested prospects? How about information packets? Do you know that many people need mass mailing done but don’t have the time? Start you own business doing mass mailing.

I mean the list is virtually endless. Endless, I tell you!

Oh yeah, and if you like cold calling, or don’t mind doing it for others, that market is wide open with people who need that service. Some people just don’t have time to call leads. Would you be willing to do this? You could make big bucks.

I never thought about all the benefits to this way of doing business, take what you learn and teach it to someone else. Make your expertise benefit you. Start your own business doing what you want to do, your schedule, your rules, your prices.

I know I sound high or extremely joyous, well ,I am! Not high, but I am on a high. I am not high, I don’t smoke, people.

I really should write a book about these things, and make money off my ideas. But, I don’t have time, so you can do it for me. I am so full of ideas, I could burst.

And these things are not going to replace your current business, just add to it, I mean you can do these things on slow days or just weekends. You can even put your business aside for a few months, if money is tight and do some of these things to build up your money and then invest harder into your business.

Okay that’s all for now, I have some work to do!

Thanks for reading!
