You say you’ve tried everything to get clients as a Virtual Assistant - let’s check that
In this episode I go on a search and rescue of two Virtual Assistant's LinkedIn page and websites and share exactly why they're not yet getting any traction, despite their brilliant efforts.
I can’t turn water into wine, but I can turn crickets into clients.

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.
