How to Get New Business From Old Friends

Social networking site are the new “IT” places to get new business. 

My 10 year high school is fast approaching and I have recently began receiving numerous friend request from old acquaintances on Myspace, LinkedIn, and Facebook; all asking the age old question, “what are you doing now.”  My response is always the same, “I own a virtual assistance company.” I direct them to my site and offer to send more information about my services.  The response have been very good.  Many refer to me to others who are in need of help.  This has led me to create a Facebook account for my business, Key Administrative Associates.  This has been very beneficial because I am also able to connect other virtual assistants and virtual assistant companies.
