What you need to become a virtual assistant

To be honest it was a question we asked before starting our virtual assistance business and we hear it so often. Really? Not much! And don’t let your lack of skills hold you back! 

The main things you need:

• A dedicated work space 

• A computer or laptop

• Great internet connection

• Hunger for knowledge

• Grit and determination 

You don’t need a fancy degree or expensive virtual assistant course to succeed (although you’d only end up benefiting from it, you can make a start without it). You probably already boast some skills that will help you on your way.

Virtual assistants come in a variety of shapes and sizes and many of them may offer the same or similar services. Your service offering is specific to the skill set you have and those you are willing to learn.

Some popular skills offered by Virtual Assistants:

• Bookkeeping

• Social Media Support

• Copywriting

• Proofreading

• Research

• Email Management

• Calendar Management

• Events Management

• Travel Arrangements

• Customer Support

• Graphic Design

• Email Marketing

The list is endless! Go with what you know and what you’re willing to learn. There has never been a better time than now to start a virtual assistance business.

The startup costs are minimal. We’d recommend investing into a beautiful website and brand photography. Next we’d recommend setting up your social media platforms. Then simply get started!

• Write out your why

• Pick a niche
