Make It Easy for People to Find You

As a Virtual Assistant and business owner, it’s important to make easy for people to get in touch with us.

Here are the three most important places for your contact information to be front and center:

1. LinkedIn. Check out the section called “See contact info” at the top of your personal profile page. Make certain that your website is listed, along with your email and phone number. (As long as you’re there, make sure you have an up-to-date, professionally taken photo!)
2. Facebook. On your profile page, click the “About” tab. Again, make sure all your contact information is current and complete: phone number, email address and website URL.
3. Your website. On your “Contact” page, and even if you have a contact form, make sure your email address and phone number are listed. I also use this page to invite prospects to schedule a 30-minute call with me. This has been a great way for me to get new clients. (Read more about that here.)

By the way, in case you’re concerned that listing your contact information (especially your phone number) will result in lots of unsolicited contacts, that has not been my experience. In my eight years as a VA, listing my information has simply made it easier for people to find me and hire me!
