How to become a Virtual Assistant in 2023
Virtual Assistant work took me from a stressed teacher of 10 years to a stress free work from home, homeschooling momma! As a result, I now enjoy more time with my family, time flexibility, and financial freedom!!! I want this for you in 2023!
What does a virtual assistant really do?
Busy entrepreneurs and business owners hire virtual assistants to do remote services and help them get tasks done. This can be tasks such as scheduling meetings, writing emails, creating social media posts, record keeping, and really ANYTHING that is online and techy! You can enjoy working with different businesses at the same time. Virtual assistants can get paid hourly or monthly but you’re not considered an “employee”…it’s called freelance work. You get to be your own boss, pick your hours, and decide your pay. I love the freedom this provides!
The freedom sounds amazing but how much can a virtual assistant make?
For instance, I have a client that pays me $2000 a month for running their social accounts and email marketing. As you stack clients, you can have 10K plus months. It all comes down to how many hours you want to work and how much you want to charge. That’s the beauty of this business. You are the boss! You choose your hours and pay.
SO is virtual assistant work full-time, part-time, or side gig?
I made virtual assistant work my full-time job within just 2 weeks! I get paid more than my teaching salary and only work 3-4 hours a day! Basically, I work “part-time” but get paid with a “full-time” salary. This can be your full-time job, part-time job, or side gig. If you are looking for a dependable side gig, where you don’t have to sell products and the company is NOT taking a big cut, this is the perfect role for you! If you want to switch careers, this is perfect for you as well!
You choose your hours! If you want to work fewer hours, go for it! If you want to just work after the kids are in bed, this will work. Want to make six figures, no problem…put in the hours to make it happen!!
The BIG Question…How do I become a virtual assistant?
Basically, you literally wake up and say, “I am a virtual assistant.” LOL…but basically! Great news… you don’t need degree! You JUST need to know how to go about getting hired as a virtual assistant and go all in. Next, you need to learn all about virtual assistant work, what roles would be best for you, learn the skills, create a resume, learn the right places to find jobs, apply, rock your discovery call (interview), get paid upfront, and do a good job. The best way to get started is to learn from someone that has already been there and done that!
Once you are ready, I have a popular Virtual Assistant Start-Up Guide that is ONLY $27!!! However, if you want to learn from me at a higher level, you can set yourself apart from the competition by taking the ViralVA Elite Course. The signature Elite Course includes detailed and updated training, exclusive community, live training, and the opportunity to join my elite ViralVA Sqaud, we you can work on my team and earn jobs!
Did you need a team to help you get started with your business?
This is not a direct sales business, MLM, or networking marketing gig. This is YOUR own business! I suggest you join our ViralVA Elite community to have like-minded virtual assistants at your side, to learn all the tools you need, and have me as your personal guide BUT you can do this solo. However, I DO NOT suggest going solo.
How long will it take me to land virtual assistant clients?
It took me 2 weeks to land my first three clients and be able to quit my 9-5. When you are ready, I teach this same strategy in my training. However, you have to do the work, apply for a lot of jobs, and land those clients. Don’t worry! We can help you get ready for discovery calls (aka a really relaxed interview) AND give you my “secret sauce” for landing clients. BUT it all comes down to YOU making up your mind and taking action.
What is the process for getting paid as a virtual assistant?
Get paid upfront for your work via invoices. Create them using a reputable payment collection service and send them to your clients. Another good idea is to set up recurring payments so you always get paid on time. NEVER EVER do a job without getting paid upfront because you don’t want to get scammed! Yes, it happens, so be aware.
How do I find virtual assistant jobs?
The best place to find virtual assistant jobs are in entrepreneur Facebook Groups. However, inside the ViralVA Elite Course, I give you a list of the top groups to search in. Don’t worry, there are PLENTY of jobs to go around because this business is booming!
