Steps to follow when starting your VA Business

You have this great idea to start your Virtual Assistant Business: Where to start?

First

• Find a striking/professional name for your business. (Be sure to do research on existing names)
• Get your paperwork like contracts/proposals sorted.
• Set up a digital office. (Choose a quiet room in your house, so you can stay focused)
• Decide on a time tracking tool, I use AndCo but there is Toggl aswell and many more.
• Invoice management system (AndCo Invoicing works great)
• Task management, Monday.com/ Trello
• Email lead list management- Mailchimp or Active Campaign 
• Calendar Management- Calandly/ Acuity/ Google Calendar 

Second

1. Buy a domain
2. Add hosting/email
3. Create a website (this is not a necessity) 
4. Create a Facebook Business Page.
5. Link your Facebook Page to your website through Pixels. (To drive traffic from Facebook to the website)
6. Create an Instagram Business Profile
7. Link your Instagram Page to your Facebook business page.
8. Create Pinterest Business (to drive traffic to your website)
9. Create your own content for different platforms using Canva
