Savvy Subcontracting

Here’s a summary of the questions asked last night of Diane Hess, creator of Mentoring 2 Success virtual career training.

1. Our topic is “building online creditability as a sub” why did you choose to talk about this?

2. There are so many networks to join. Do you have suggestions of which ones are most essential for someone wanting to start & learn subcontracting?

3. Can you define the difference behind a local organization and online network. Are there organizations you suggest for a virtual business? Explaining the benefits of those organizations? Do most of them have a fee that goes along with it?

4. Some networks offer RFP or bartering. Can you define these two?

5. Do you believe in bartering when trying to build your creditability? How does one go about bartering?

6. Can online social networks take place of marketing? Why or why not?

7. How does one measure or analyze their online network presence? And should they?

8. What is one or two suggestions how to stick out in an online community? In other words how to start getting people to recognize your special services?

9. A lot of the networks give you an opportunity to create a profile. Is it really important to do so? What should you be putting on one?

10. Do you suggest belonging to as many online communities as possible or just a few?

Each month a multi VA guest that hires subcontractors will be available to answer questions. This will be a benefit to both parties. The subcontractor will be able to ask questions such as how to improve their skills, find coaching & mentoring programs, how to win a proposal and any others they stumble across. For the contractor they can get to know some of the available subcontractors, promote their programs, establish an understanding of what they need and many more.
