A Virtual Assistant (VA) can be any type of remote assistant who provides administrative, creative, or technical support services for online or brick-and-mortar business owners.

As a VA, you are an independent contractor. This means you set your own hours, work on your terms, and create your own systems for working (invoicing, payments, etc.).

There are a ton of services that you can offer in virtual assistance. You can provide general admin work, or become a specialist in one particular service.


Do you have what it takes?

  1. Do you have a computer?

  2. Do you have decent internet?

  3. Do you have a level of figure-it-out-edness?

Then YES! You can totally do this thing!!

How can I find clients?

The best way to get yourself out there and become visible to clients is to tell people what you are doing!
