What is a Virtual Assistant?
A virtual assistant is someone who helps businesses and entrepreneurs with things that they need to get done. The best part is, it’s virtual. Which means you never even have to leave your home. This is a great job for stay at home moms because not only do you get to stay home with your kiddos, you also get to choose your own hours. Hello naptime and bedtime. I see you!
The best part about becoming a virtual assistant, though, is that practically anyone can become one! All you need is great internet, and drive to get things done.

So, how do I become a Virtual Assistant anyway?
When I first decided to become a VA, I knew nothing about what it even entailed. I ended up investing in a a few courses, and really immersed myself into learning.
Ultimately, though, I just had to begin! I made a list of every skill I had that I felt would help someone, and then I got to work writing a pitch email to send to prospective clients.
In my course, I will be teaching how to perfect the pitch, so trust me! You’re going to want to get on that waiting list.
I ended up landing multiple clients my first week, just because of the tricks I learned along the way.
