Everything You Need To Know To Start A VIRTUAL ASSISTANT BUSINESS In 2024

[@kenniquaj]

Hey friend! If you're thinking of starting a virtual assistant business or you're currently a virtual assistant give yourself a shoutout in the comments!

[@DARKPurpleNailPolish]

I’m currently a virtual assistant. I started putting together the business at the end of 2022 and FINALLY got a long term paying client in October 2023. I took up a LOT (😢) of unpaid work to build my portfolio and it paid off. I messed up by not charging my worth (😅) but my portfolio is now built up well enough to start expanding and I’m so excited. If you’re thinking of starting a VA business PLEASE DO IT. I live fully off of my virtual assistant income and have more work-life balance.

[@kenniquaj]

Hey! I’m so happy to see that all you’re hard work has paid off! Congrats to you! 🎉

Hi there I am going through your website and I had an idea about how you might be able to better ensure that people sign up for honey book through your affiliate link. Maybe you could put together a little course on it or something else that would benefit a business when they are sign up for a CRM and you can give it to businesses as a bonus. they would just have to sign up through your link and send you a receipt.

[@kenniquaj]

Thanks! Yes that’s a good idea. ❤️I’ll see what I can come up with

I am grateful for your videos, do you know where I can find free certificates to verify VA. This is for anyone here who may know where? I tried many like coursera and others but they always want you to pay.

[@kenniquaj]

Hello! No problem. Unfortunately, no. I don’t know off hand where you can get a free certificates for VA. But this may vary where you’re located. U.S or maybe somewhere else. But I didn’t have a “certificate” to be a VA. So I wouldn’t say it was required. Let your work, testimonials, or create mock ups of the work you could do serve as proof that you can do the work for your potential clients

What are your thoughts on becoming a VA versus something more specialized, like a bookkeeper, a graphic designer, or a social media manager? Is there a track that is better in terms of income and competitiveness, or do you think they're all comparable? (assuming that all paths are equally enjoyable work)

[@kenniquaj]

Hey! I love this question. I was actually going to record a video on this very thing. So, if you can offer something more specialized in the long run, you’ll earn more money and get more clients. I’ll explain in a upcoming video my full thoughts on this 😀
