What is Freelance Virtual Assistance + Is it For Me?

Freelance virtual assistants are independent business owners who provide a wide variety of support services to online businesses remotely. They can choose to have several different smaller clients or just one or two large clients with steady ongoing work! 

Freelance virtual assistants are not employees and have the freedom to work from wherever they want, whenever they want, and however they want! From fashion or wellness to farming or travel, freelance virtual assistants are needed in every type of industry!

Sounds great, right?! But I’m sure you’re wondering if freelance virtual assistance is for you! Here are a few questions to ask yourself:

  • Are you willing to put in the work to network and pitch clients?
  • Do you desire the freedom to set your own schedule and work from wherever you want?
  • Are you extremely organized?
  • Do you enjoy sequences, patterns, and strategies?
  • Are you adaptable and flexible?
  • Are you self-disciplined?
  • Do you long to be your own boss?

If you answered yes to all of the above, then you’re on the right path, love! And don’t worry if you don’t have a formal degree or previous work experience in business administration or support services — That’s the beauty of freelance! If you have the skills, are willing to put in the work, and are passionate about supportive work, you can absolutely become a freelance virtual assistant! And don’t let anything or anyone get in your way or tell you otherwise 😉

Finding Freelance Virtual Assistant Jobs

Oftentimes, new freelance virtual assistants are so excited to start landing clients and get to workin’ that they work for anyone who is willing to pay them. However, this often leads to working on projects that you don’t believe in, clients who don’t align with your values, and creating sub-par work.

So, before you start searching for freelance virtual assistant jobs, it’s so important that you take the time to evaluate your target market! Think about who your ideal clients are: What industry do they work in? What values do they have? Where is their business located? Have they worked with freelancers before? 

Once you figure out who your ideal clients are, start attracting them! When you’re just starting out as a freelance virtual assistant, the best way to do this is by having a portfolio that showcases your skills! Think about starting a blog sharing your expertise, building a website with a portfolio of your best work, or gathering testimonials from people who know or have utilized your skills. To attract and land your ideal clients, you need to be able to prove that you have the skills they are looking for!
