Jill,
I too am a virtual assistant. I have to agree with Andy here as well. When I first came to Ryze I will admit that I was all about trying to get my first clients let me tell you it didn't take long to realize that wasn't the way it works. You have to continuously post on different forums and make relationships with them.
I also HIGHLY recommend finding a Niche instead of just the SOHO clients. That is far too broad. Trust me I learned the hard way. You really need to narrow it down. Once you get it narrowed down, start posting on some of the forums for that particular industry. Advertise in the different trade magazines that your niche might read. Find the different directories for your target market. Do some market research.
I finally narrowed down my niche and I knew that I could help them, I just didn't know what I could do for them so I researched the different directories picked out a couple of companies and called and asked them some questions. Don't sell to them just tell them you are doing marketing research and you would like their input. Most of the people would be very helpful to you.
If you would like anymore information please feel free to PM me.
