How many of you have started your Virtual Assistant businesses but gotten stuck at selecting your services? 🙋🏻‍♀️

You have skills, and you have what it takes. You just have to find the right fit, and I want to help!
Let's talk about some of my FAVORITE VA jobs for beginners 🎊
As a reminder, every Tuesday at Noon CT The Virtual Savvy Team will be jumping in to chat with YOU about your business and hacks for accelerated growth.

[@tarrandunn6810]

Thanks so much Abbey, awesome vid! Been working in real estate for 17 years and now want to start VAing. Your info has really inspired me!

[@cristinavillarreal912]

I am about to start the training to become a Virtual Assistance, I am hoping that this job will be great and fun. by looking at your video it makes me think I’ll be easy

[@thevirtualsavvy]

It's definitely hard work! But the great thing about virtual assistance is that YOU get to make your own schedule!

[@cthajar4052]

Thank you Abbey. Love this! It give me more confidence to start up my VA service.

[@thevirtualsavvy]

You're so welcome! You CAN DO THIS!

[@ultimatevasolutions]

I'm a Savvy community member and active in the Savvy Vault. I just wanted to say thank you for all you do. There are so many people out there offering VA training, courses and resources but you have the absolute best content (and so much of it free!) and offer more value than anyone else that currently offers online business training. I'm working through the vault but lately have become addicted to your YT Vids. I'm very excited to learn that you offer even MORE in your blog! I don't know why I've never checked it out, (besides the fact that you already have so much available as it is!) I'm finding I need to develop some regular daily habits. I don't have any set in stone and it's not helping me at all. You mention your dailies, I'd love to learn what they are, when you do them, how much time to devote to each item, (I can spend hours on email alone!) and if this is where your time blocking comes in to play. Do you provide any info on these? I know habits are essential, I'm just not sure where to start.

This is spot on Abbey! Great job!

[@thevirtualsavvy]

Thanks so much!

Abby thank you so much. I have quit my full time job and Im currently full time researching for information to become a virtual assistant. I've been struggling to decide the area I will specialize in because I like writting but have no experience at all (and I also live in Canada but mother language is spanish so my english is not too good). When uncertainty hits my mood I just watch a few of your videos and come back to the optimist version of me :) thank you for what you do.

[@ahsanzia8837]

Thank you very much Abby. I have worked as a project manager for 2 IT companies and I believe I can perform all the basic tasks that you covered in this video. The cool thing about the video are the tools for each of these jobs. I am from Pakistan and the greater advantage that I believe I have is my cmmunication. It'll be great if I can get some guide for the freelance platforms and how to use them smartly, that'll be appreciated.

@Abbey Ashley: This was another great video. Thank you! I have a few questions: 1) Is it necessary to have a business as a VA ? Or could you just be an employee? 2) Are there W2 VA positions? 3) What are the most number of clients a VA can handle ?

If your admins and moderators in your Facebook group have a ongoing open chat in Facebook messenger it helps so much. I am an admin in a 40k group of rowdy people lol, and the admin chat helps give us team unity.

[@notimeforthatassistance1624]

hey there :) I'm a bit confused on what data entry actually means lol I currently work for a medical transcription company and just completed a Microsoft excel course that took me through quite a bit of skills and formulas. According to the instructor, I'm now an "expert," but after further researching more Microsoft excel videos, I feel like I've barely scraped the surface and now not sure if I can do data entry jobs that businesses would throw my way. :/ I mean... I know I can type crap from one document to another lol

[@thevirtualsavvy]

Data entry professionals use computers and data processing programs to enter information into a database or documentation platform. you could even transcribing data from recordings or phone conversations.

[@notimeforthatassistance1624]

@@thevirtualsavvy that makes sense, thank you for the reply :) Im going to be building my website this weekend and I've decided the services I'm mostly going to be providing is email management, shopify assistance, video editing, setting up spreadsheets, and social media management. I know that you say the sweet spot is around $35 an hour and I pretty much refuse to work for less than $18...but..I do get discouraged when I keep hearing KZbinrs saying VA's only make $5 an hour???? what is going on with that??? Why would anyone do that?

[@shivanar1257]

Hey Abbey! How many services do you think a beginner VA can offer? I'm currently offering Social Media Graphic Creations but I was wondering if adding Facebook Page Management would be a good idea - as it's not necessarily within my niche per se.

[@thevirtualsavvy]

As a VA, you can offer as many services as you'd like! These 2 would go great together!
