Great tips! Love Canva for my non-creative self. Makes simple designs super easy to create!

Canva is a GAME CHANGER!

Hi ms. Lauren, i am a mom and also starting to learn about being a VA, i am waiting to go back for my previous company after i resigned for 5 years but hopefully i can learn and pursue this homebased VA as i am saddened of the facr that i cannot be with my son for most of the time of the day. I saw your video and opened and watched! Love it #goldenmama..and i am a mama too..thank you and God bless..

[@freemamatv]

Hey mama! How is your VA journey coming along?

Hey Lauren, I’m a new subscriber & this Virtual Assistant idea actually seems possible & I really would love to try it!!

[@freemamatv]

Welcome -- and it's totally possible! This KZbin channel is a great resource -- I also recommend my free training as a great way to get started: www.thefreemamamovement.com!

[@MelitaNcubeZhuwarara]

Thank you so so much for this.

[@freemamatv]

You're so welcome! Tell me, what did you learn?!

[@meganplaysgames7839]

Woot ! I have all of these

[@selenanjegovan6299]

This was great! Are you able to integrate Zoom into Calendly with the free version?

[@freemamatv]

I believe you have to have the paid version!

[@sheena9642]

I found your channel through I think facebook late lastnight can't wait to learn more. I'd like to be a VA #iamafreemama

[@freemamatv]

Amazing Sheena! Make sure you join our FB Group for more support!

[@agustinpena2752]

Hi, Lauren! Thank you for your videos, they’re very helpful. I have a question: when working with clients in other countries, how do you get paid? How can you be sure the client will pay? Do you ask them to sign a contract? Thanks in advance for your advice!

[@freemamatv]

Yes! You should always have a contract in place prior to beginning any work with a client. Depending on the services you're providing you can even bill in advance.

[@8eautyInTheDark]

How do you accept payments from international people ?

[@nenedin3964]

what other useful tools for VA like bookkeeping niche and administrative task

[@freemamatv]

Wave and Quickbooks are great for bookkeeping!

[@jessicabarlass5978]

So I can charge a client for graphics I create via canva.. the only caveat is that neither the client, nor myself owns the image, is that correct??

[@freemamatv]

I would make sure to have a contract in place that states who has the rights to the created images - I highly recommend Kailey Jacomet with www.contractista.com/!

[@26kir]

#iamafreemama Glad to have discovered your channel : )

[@freemamatv]

Awesome! Welcome!!

[@brittanypeiffer8179]

LOVE all of these tools! #iamafreemama

[@freemamatv]

Aren't they the best?! Which is your favorite?

[@brittanypeiffer8179]

@@freemamatv I LOVE Canva! I have the app on my phone and use it for social media posts! It's so easy.

[@barbarajackson7043]

Any thoughts on the best laptop for being a VA?? I am starting up soon but need a new laptop! I don't want to spend a ton of money on one just yet if I don't have to.

[@freemamatv]

Hey mama! Great question. I am a Mac girl personally. I used the same MacBook Air for almost 8 years! I recently switched to a MacBook Pro and both are great. They are pricier than PCs, but worth the investment if you can swing it. You can also look into refurbished models!

[@kirstynjones3992]
