My networking tips for Virtual Assistants are all centered around building relationships and NOT helping you sell or promote your services. It’s the wrong place to sell as its focus is on building community. I’m not saying that you can’t or won’t get clients through networking but my point is that your focus should be on building relationships first.

Student Success Stories:
"When I first launched my Virtual Assistant business I already had a lot of WordPress knowledge and skill… but it was one thing to know how to use WordPress for myself but a whole new ball game when I wanted to begin to offer them as services for others.
Susan's course single handedly gave me all the tools I needed to not only launch my business but to close up all those loose ends I was unsure about when it came to offering WordPress as a service. Plus, even once the course was over, the community is still so strong to go back to for feedback, discussions and ongoing support.
I didn’t know it when I first signed up… but this course was a major stepping stone that began transforming my new virtual assistant business into a full WordPress design + development business. I’ll be forever grateful for Susan’s support and knowledge!"
