A lot of aspiring VA’s are always overwhelmed by the thought of building their website before they start their business, because some are of the notion that having a website makes you look more professional. While this might be true on some levels, I’d like to let you know that you don’t need one to get your VA business off the ground at all.
There are other ways you can have an online presence without building a website. Although I recommend eventually having a website as you progress as a VA but don’t get hung up on building one and end up procrastinating on your VA dreams.
Here are some other ways to be visible online without a website:
1. Design a professional portfolio:
You can create a PDF in a Google Doc or using Canva. Include an ‘about me’ section, the services you offer, your rates, examples of your work, testimonials, and even a link to your ‘schedule an appointment’ with you on calendly.
2. Create a LinkedIn profile:
With Linkedin, you can list your services, your experience, get endorsements, and network all in one site! It is a great way to link up with your potential clients straightaway.
3. Optimise your Social Media Pages:
Create a Facebook business page and list all your services, include your contact, and post valuable content that will make your target audience notice you. Be sure to create a cover photo and invite people to like your page or sponsor ads. You can also do the same with your Instagram account.
