re: Need advice on marketing Virtual Assistant Busines to SOHO businesses |

Andy is right about the importance of relationships.
Also, I think SOHO owners fear the cost, and are not sure how they can phase in help without having it suck the profit out. I use per-task pricing to counter this somewhat in my business, not sure what you can do to help with that. With many small businesses you have to not just SAY that it is to their financial advantage to hire help, but show them how, and at what point it makes sense.
For example, if I am doing a task that I dislike, and that I am not highly skilled at, that takes 2 hours a week of my time, and if during that time I could earn more or help my business grow more effectively if I hired you to do that task, then it makes sense for me to hire it instead of doing it myself.
I feel overwhelmed a lot in my business, but have no clue what a virtual assistant could to do help lift that load. So being specific about not just what SERVICE you offer, but how that service can be APPLIED to specific businesses may help as well.
Just my opinion.
