My Good friend Tishia from Tishia Saves Time have been talking back and forth for a couple months now and I am really enjoying the conversations.  If you want to see the first of our conversations you can go HERE on My site Or HERE on Tishia’s site.  Tishia is a feel friend and also a VA.  This week Tishia answered my question HERE and I am going to answer her question:

Tishia Asks

What marketing tool(s) have you found to be the most beneficial to you in getting your name out there and obtaining new clients? 

What a great question Tishia and a super easy question for me because I have found so many great tools that I really want to Share.

I would Say one of my biggest tools is word of mouth.  I started out with one client when I first started.  And that one client when on to tell a good friend of hers about about and so I was at two clients.  From there I just kept moving on up.  They would go on to tell more and more people about me.  They would Twitter about me.  They would post brags in Mom MasterMinds about me.  It was just amazing how fast I got clients all by work of mouth.

I found that posting in forums such as Mom Masterminds, Just Online Jobs, Self Starter Weekly Tips, and  Virtual Assistant Forums are all great to also start networking and meeting potential clients.  All you have to do is sign up for the forums and start posting.  It is a great free way to meet clients and other VA’s.

Some paid places I have started advertising my business is  Community Advertising (they also have free advertising), and Shelancers.  These are the only two paid places I have advertised so far but I am going to continue to look for more places to advertise.

Thank you again Tishia for the great question. Here is my question to you:

How often do you check your email?  And does checking your email really seem to eat up your time?
