how did you start working as a virtual assistant?

started out helping my aunt with her travel biz. didn’t even know “VA” was a job title back then 😭 now I do inbox cleanups, itineraries, and follow-ups for 3 clients

most ppl want email help, calendar stuff, maybe some spreadsheets. if you’re organized and communicate well, you’re already ahead of like 80% of folks trying this fr

i got my first client just by commenting on their IG story 🥲 they needed someone for emails + Canva posts and I was like “I got you!” been doing that ever since

didn’t take any courses or anything fancy. I just put together a list of what I could do (admin + social stuff mostly) and started messaging small biz owners. first client paid $15/hr, now I’m up to $25 🫶

i just started helping a friend run her business. organizing her emails, keeping her calendar clean, lil stuff. then I told other friends and it just kinda snowballed from there lol
