• Answer:

  You need to be searching for Virtual Assistant associations or networks. These are professional association groups for the industry where you will learn about developing as a VA, learn how to run a business, how to get clients and in fact, some of the network sites even help you get clients. They also have discussion forums, facilities for training, and adding more resources to your business, the ability to sub-contract to or for other VAs and so on. These are reputable associations and not scams and built to help grow the industry. Some of them also host Virtual Assistant conferences and there is one major online conference each year in May also.
