Table of contents for Profit Growth Strategies for VA's

Virtual Assistants who possess excellent writing skills should use those skills to create articles for their clients. There are several ways to do this which will give additional credibility to your client and generate more business. Profit growth for your client will generally mean profit growth for you.

Ghost writing an article is the first way to help your client. You can interview him and take notes about a relevant topic in an industry that your client supports. Then you can write the article and send it under his name to trade associations or media outlets that may be interested.

Advocacy is another approach. Your clients should be aware of issues that affect the livelihood of his clients. Therefore you should be aware of these issues too. You can draft letters to legislative leaders or letters to the editor supporting particular viewpoints. This gives your client more credibility and attracts more attention to his understanding of the industry he supplies.

The last approach we will discuss is to write about your client’s clients. While this may sound odd, if you act on behalf of your client and write articles about the great work his clients are doing, you will generate more business for them and probably for your client. In addition, you may earn a new client in the process.

Focusing on the needs of others, especially profit growth, is one of the most effective ways to grow your own business. Profits allow your clients to expand. Their growth means more business for you and your VA team and other network partners.
