Virtual Assistant Skills for Beginners 2022 – Start with these services
This week, we’ll chat about the must-have Virtual Assistant skills for beginners in 2023. Even new VA’s can offer these skills and services from the get-go. What virtual assistant services do you plan on offering this year?
When I started as a VA in 2012, I started a General Virtual Assistant, meaning I offered “general” services to my clients. My most in-demand services included calendar management and travel management.
Eventually, I parlayed general travel booking into high-end luxury travel for C-Suite clients, and it’s since become one of my most lucrative (and pricey) specialty services.
Do you have a specialty service as a VA?

I’d like to hire a virtual assistant, as I am a solopreneur. Is there any tips or advice you can give to those wanting to hire? Should I have a list of items I want to have done if its more of a project thing?

I couldn’t even finish watching the video but next time I have problems sleeping I will come back to this channel and try my best to listen to you talk. That’s what your niche should be helping people sleep.My gawd you are boring.
Hey this is an extremely valuable and helpful video. I am a military spouse and work remote. I have currently worked with my same employer for a little over 4 years. However they only allow me to work in certain states. I have been interested in becoming a VA for awhile. I currently work as a patient account analyst for hospitals where I review a big inventory of patient accounts and find issues and report back to the hospital managers. So I am interested in learning about becoming a VA
THANK YOU!🫶🏽❤️
Just found your channel, and this is the first video I’ve watched. My business is relatively new. So far the tasks I’ve been hired to do is customer relations type work, digital marketing, and then some random stuff. What I find interesting is what you said about social media support vs management. I have definitely already fell into the trap of creating content and not just support. I will definitely reconsider as I take on more clients. Thank you!
