Looking for more clients as VA but feel like you’ve exploited all options?

Firstly, here’s your reminder that needing clients isn’t embarrassing, every business owner needs clients - hiding your availability is actually doing potential clients a disservice. You’re allowing them to continue struggling on their own, without you!

In this episode, I’m sharing exactly what to do if you need more clients. One tip in particular could change EVERYTHING for your business.

In this episode I refer to my free Taking on Clients LinkedIn circle and Katya's AI Image Creation Course, for which I am an affiliate for.

Will AI Replace Virtual Assistants? Here's the Real Answer.

What ChatGPT and other AI software are giving us now, has been around for years in different forms. Google provides incredible information, some of which is absolute tosh and other bits give us knowledge we’d have only gathered on a Tuesday, Weds morning, Thurs or Friday and two hours on a Saturday going to a library.

When the internet was first released there were concerns about how it could lead to loneliness and isolation, and I am sure it has in many ways. But it’s also opened up whole new worlds for people looking for events to go to, looking for help, wanting to reconnect with old friends, for people like you and me to create a business and reach more people than we could have without it. It also made early adopters very very rich.

With almost everything comes positive and negative, and while I think we’re all allowed to feel negativity sometimes, we mustn’t let it overtake the dreams we have.

Let me share with you how and why AI isn't going to replace Virtual Assistants. I think you'll agree by the end of this episode.

How to make more money as a Virtual Assistant - Ethically

It's okay to want to make more money, but we can sometimes feel like asking 'how' is a bit greedy.

It's not.

The more income you have the more you can do to give you even more freedom and luxury.

  • - get a cleaner
  • - have your meals delivered (Simmer)
  • - add to a pension
  • - buy premium bonds
  • - pay off a lump sum on a debt
  • - buy an electric bike, in duck egg green, with a wicker front basket (I want one but am not allowed after a scooter incident a few years ago)

Anyway, as always, I digress.

Listen to today's podcast to hear a few ways you could make more money in your Virtual Assistant business - ethically!
