[@meyanalviar1540]

We have just started our VA agency and are looking for strategies/tips in finding clients. I'm very happy to have found this video. I have already shared it with my team. Thank you.

[@ErinBooth]

Glad it was helpful! Best of luck!

How is your business going?

[@Ohymnsinger]

Hi Erin, I came across your page a few days ago and I must say that I love what you are doing with your videos. I love that they are practical. I am just starting my career as a VA and your videos make me feel like a pro.I have been clueless using LinkedIn.

[@leboleope5142]

This was super helpful. Thank you very much. I have taken ''the art of the search" for granted. I really appreciate it.

[@TamaTrotti]

This was so helpful - learned all sorts of new things with that search bar - wow! Thank you!

[@ErinBooth]

Glad it was helpful!

[@libralonglegsart]

This is so helpful! I'm a total noob with linkedin but know it's good for leads Thank you for breaking it down!

[@CynthiaParker-b8d]

Hi Erin! Quick question- you mentioned several times in the video that you are giving scripts in the next section, but I didn’t see them. Are you providing scripts? This video is very informative and super helpful! I’ve seen many people recommend using LinkedIn to find leads fora long time but this is the first time I’ve looked more into it. Thanks again!

[@Faithspective]

Thank you for sharing your video and for the timely advice you've given! You spelled out why it's difficult for some job seekers to find work and for employers to find clients on LinkedIn. They don't know how to work the algorithm! I will share this video with undergraduate students at my alma mater to give them a little leverage in the scary post-grad job market. And I will utilize these tips myself.

[@ErinBooth]

That's awesome! I hope they find it useful.

[@Rossipaservices]

fantastic video - I have just spent quite a bit of money on a finding clients on Linkedin guide which proved useless and this is far more in depth than the guide. x

Oh gosh, glad it was helpful!!!

Hey Erin, quick question. I do not have much employment history due to leaving the workforce to stay home with my daughter. Should I look into being a va for a company before I start my own business? Thank you for your very helpful videos! You rock!

[@badmustunde6508]

Hi Erin, I am super excited to connect with you. I just watched your discussion or better put, your interview with Sadiq, very encouraging to hear your success story. It's very encouraging, thanks for sharing.

[@Rosa-Chrisley]

Hello Erin, I want to get one of your courses about LinkedIn how to get clients. I wanted to know if you included scripts on it. Thanks for your feed back. 🙏

[@JerseySuzieinPA]

this was super informative, thank you!!

Glad it was helpful!

[@Joyozichi]

Hi Erin I can’t find the script you spoke of in the video Please can you help?

[@ErinBooth]

This is going to sound silly but ... can you tell me which approx minute I mention a script? I have so many that I want to make sure I'm including the appropriate link - and thank you for bringing this to my attention!

[@evelynn27]

@@ErinBooth Minute 6:11 I was also looking in the comments to find this scrip you were talking about X) Thank you Erin!

Great video, loads of knowledge for newbie, thank you 🧡

[@ErinBooth]

Glad it was helpful! LinkedIn is a great resource.

[@gemmaedwards1899]

Thank you - I never know how to respond to those 'looking for a recommendation for an ____' or where someone else has tagged me in one of those. This is a great way of doing this - I'll update on how I get on. 🙂

[@newidealism]

This helped me, thank you! I want to contribute an idea: As an alternative to "so we can continue our conversation offline" we might say, "...we can talk or exchange some emails."

[@ErinBooth]

That's a great idea!

[@user-wt9xm6xz6l]

Omg! Thank you for this video

[@eferlinindonesia1910]

Thank you for sharing this valuable information. I am sure I won't be a competition with you since your skills and experience are so much more than me :)

[@ErinBooth]

You can do it!

[@aniaaaa05]

What if I am looking for construction contractors to work with. Can I send them direct message and introduce myself etc. Do I need to wait until they will accept friend invitation? :)

[@ErinBooth]

You don;t need to wait, you can send them messages to introduce yourself!

[@airisisutsa]

Hey Erin,this info is so helpful.What tool are you using to record your screen?

[@ErinBooth]

Glad to hear it! I use QuickTime, I keep it simple.

What a great video Erin. I am trying to think how I can apply this strategy to my LinkedIn prospecting. Thank you.

[@ErinBooth]

I hope it helps!! The filters are pretty great on the platform, I use them frequently!

[@jonjon2645]

How do you bill your clients once you find your ideal client? What software and invoice tool do you use? Thank you

[@ErinBooth]

I bill flat, monthly rates based for my services. There are many invoicing tools you can use like Paypal, Stripe, Venmo. I ask all my clients to pay me via direct deposit, right into my bank account, but this only works well because they use me consistently.

[@jonjon2645]

@@ErinBooth Thanks for sharing, what do you suggest for someone starting out, do I ask clients to pay half up front and the remainder on delivery? I would love to get to a point where my clients use me consistently and I can bill them monthly.

[@alyssam4187]

Hi Erin! Helpful video and inspiring - I would love to use LinkedIn but I have one concern - I work full time as an engineer. It is my primary job and doing VA work is a side hustle I enjoy. Maybe in the future I’ll flip full time, but I’m content for now. I want to use LinkedIn to get more clients but I worry what my coworkers and supervisors, that are on my network from my main gig, will think. Would you have any advice toward this?

[@ErinBooth]

Hi Alyssa! This is a common question and can be a tricky one - namely if your company frowns upon freelance work. I suggest keeping your profile aligned with your FT job as an engineer. Then, add details under the work section about your virtual assistant work. So long as they VA keywords are associated with your profile, people searching for these phrases will still find your profile.

[@Luckygamerw555]

I will suggest you to remove your boss or supervisor from your LinkedIn connections.

[@siren1107-b4s]

The thing is if you wrote a pitch in the comment section of the job poster, instead of the usual "I'm interested" and used what you suggested in the video - other people (your competitors) may see that and use your method and suddenly your pitch doesn't stand out among the comments anymore. This is especially true if you are one of the first people to apply for the job, and other people follow your lead like sheep. We can't give away the sauce like this, so if that's the case, how could you make it more effective and more stealthy?

[@ErinBooth]

Pitch broadly, move to inbox w/ more details, get them on the phone with full review of your company
