CREATING A SPECIAL NICHE

For a VIRTUAL ASSISTANT

BUSINESS

What is a Niche?It is best described as offering a service to

select clientele in an area that you specialize in.

Focusing on your strengths, skills and experience will help you choose a niche.

Most Virtual Assistants don’t initially focus on a specific niche when they first start their Business.

It is common to see a VA become a generalist until she can determine where her expertise will lead her.

As a generalist we focus more on the services that are most requested.

However,

sometimes we end up at a destination we never planned for.

Example of change:

You may start your business offering administrative services and general office duties only to find...

Your expertise lies elsewhere....You may prefer writing business plans or marketing.

What are some niches?

Realtor’s Assistant

VA for Speakers

Assistant to a Coach

Social Media Specialist

Event planner

Bookkeeping

And the list goes on........

Website Design

Desktop Publishing

Copywriting

Concierge Services

Administrative Services

business?

others or being a team leader?

Do you have contacts in your chosen industry?

What is your passion?

What five things are you the absolute “best” at?
