5 years ago I made the BEST DECISION EVER. I started working as a Virtual Assistant.
It began as a part time job to earn some extra cash and help out a family member. Soon enough, it had turned into my main source of income and the thing that helped me leave a career that was slowly draining the life out of me.
I have had such a great experience with it that I want to shout it out to the world!! There really isn’t a job out there that has more potential and unlimited availability.
For real. When is the internet ever going away?
If 2020 taught us anything, it was that there are a lot of businesses that could maintain really well solely online. Brick and mortar storefronts became obsolete for many companies. But the need for assistance didn’t.
Why you should become a VA- Virtual Assistant
I think the first and best reason is this- You will always have a backup job!
Always
If you aren’t quite sure yet if VA work is for you , then start small. Do one job here and there, get your legs under you and make a little bit of cash. Sometimes all it takes is a little bit of success so you can find that extra boost you might need to finally turn in your two weeks notice.
And even if you don’t turn to being a full time VA, you can always use your skills to maintain an income while you search for the job you really want.
Here are some more:
- Easy way to start your own business that ISN’T a MLM.
- Unlimited types of VAs- I’ll go into this more below
- More and more companies are looking to remote hire and want skilled workers.
- You can work from nearly anywhere.
- Set your own hours
And those are just a few.
For me personally, I was able to quit my main job when my spouse took a new one that had a lot of long hours. This way I was able to work AND be there for carpool, sports and Dr. appointments. No need for before or after school care, and no need to go completely to a single source of income. It was a true win-win.
I would love for you to have this same experience.

This is the course you want to take if you’re serious about becoming a profitable VA
The Savvy System
If you want or need to make money ASAP you’ll want to get in on a course that will hand hold you step-by-step through the process.
It will go over everything from picking a name, filling out the right forms for taxes, setting up your business processes, and even how to create a webpage to market yourself and get jobs! It really is all inclusive.
Think of it this way–> If you were to pay a company to do all of that for you, it would cost you a few thousand dollars. I mean anywhere from 3-6K by the time you’re ready to get started.
Being involved in the process is very motivating and saves money! As well as teaches you the skills you need to start working right away.
PLUS there’s a job board and you’ll get access to a community of people that are constantly looking to hire virtual assistants. I joined just a few weeks ago and have already seen 7 jobs posted and managed to score myself a new long term job already. Win-Win!!
