Still Doing it Without a Marketing Plan?
Many of the virtual assistants I coach tell me they either don’t do any marketing, or do ‘some’, but nothing consistently. This is especially surprising to me for VAs who promote themselves as Internet Marketing Virtual Assistants.
There are some great resources available to you from well respected and established virtual assistants in our industry, some of which you can find here on my blog - this is so important to the well-being of your business. Find something that resonates with you and will help you to spread the word about your business to reach your target market.
As the economy begins to recover, not having a plan could be extremely hazardous to your business. My business has shown steady growth over the past three years and I believe this is because I have a complete and easy-to-use marketing plan system in place.
Start small and build your plan over time. Be consistent and try each marketing strategy for at least 6-months, or 5-7 touches, before you make the decision to scrap it and try something new.
Sometimes as small business owners, we just don’t know where to start, or how to balance our time to include those things that we need to do to make our businesses grow. Having and implementing a simple marketing plan can make a difference in your business generating a little bit of income, or allowing you to make a good living.
If this sounds like you, then I hope you’ll consider several things to get back on track with your marketing and get your business growing again.
Consider attending my July Elite Virtual Assistance Insider, Marketing Plan System Workshop on Wednesday, July 21st from 7:00 to 8:30 PM Eastern (Elite VA Insider July Session Details); or purchase my Grow Your Virtual Assistance Practice Marketing Plan System here: http://vabizcoach.com/products.html#marketing . I will also be giving away a copy of this system during the July session. 
Take the time to find something that helps you consistently market your business and make the last half of 2010 your best ever!
