A new type of home based business namely Virtual Assistant is the best part of Internet
which enables us to work for various companies across the globe without worry about the borders or time zones. Out of my most recent experience as a Virtual Assistant, in this article I am sharing some of my experience and ideas towards the business and how I decided to signup with a home security service like ADT Home Security to improve my business.
Being a home based Virtual Assistant I never took the business very serious and started it only to keep myself busy on my free times. I started my Virtual Assistant business as a word processor that includes the tasks of typing manuscripts, letters, transcription and writing resumes. Initially I never thought about increasing my electronic gadgets like additional telephone lines, high speed internet or fax machines. Few months before I was surprised to see a new service request from a foreign client in my inbox asking for company book keeping and virtual secretarial service from me for his newly incorporated Delaware Company.
This service request helped me to notice a new ground for my business which will indeed get me more international clients and take my home based business to the next level of operation. My idea was to provide virtual secretary service for clients who had their company incorporated in Delaware or Nevada that accepts foreign personals to incorporate companies without the need of local office or US citizen as share holder. Before getting started with my new idea I started installing all those electronic gadgets which I neglected to add previously.
With some little help from some of my friends in Delaware and Nevada I was able to make a list of start up companies incorporated recently. I created an e-brochure for my service and contacted those companies with a request to try my service. I started getting new clients day by day who were in need of a full fledged virtual office service in USA. Everything went fine until I got a question about the physical security of the premises were I used to keep all important documents from one of my prestigious client. I was able to understand their fear about the security of all valuable documents I am going to receive and store on their behalf in my home. After making some research, I decided to subscribe for the basic service offered by ADT Home Security because of their affordable deals and upgraded technology. Now my client is happy and I never forgot to quote secured booking keeping in my promotional materials.
