There are many ways you can turn your location into an asset. If it's a remote, rural location, stress the quality of life. Urban locations offer access to ideas and cutting edge trends.

Also, buy local is becoming a strong marketing motivation. Someone down the street may be looking for you.

And honestly, although we work virtually, our business does have a physical, geographical location. Not sharing that has a tendency to make other business people raise an eyebrow. Another great tip! <br>As a side note, if you're concerned about giving exact location online, at least use the nearest city to you. I live in a small city on the outskirts of a larger one. I use the larger one as my location, not because of online concerns, but because more people are familiar with where the larger city is. I 'll pipe in and say I totally agree with you.

Sure, virtual assistants are virtual by definition, but if you're using Twitter as a marketing tool for your business, then professionalism is important, and that means including your physical location. You never know who might look elsewhere for assistance just because you didn't want to give your location. Why limit yourself that way? No, I don't think you're off base.
