Profit Buddies’ Post

95% of virtual assistants struggle to land clients in their first year. When I read that, my first thought was ‘Will I be one of them? Then I came across the stories of Gina Horkey, Kayla Sloan, and others turning their VA work into six-figure successes. I couldn’t stop thinking, How did they do it? Turns out, it’s not magic it’s strategy. Here are the lessons I’ve learned from studying the best: ➡ Pick a niche – The smaller your focus, the bigger your impact. ➡ Keep learning – Whether it’s tools, trends, or strategies, knowledge is your best investment. ➡ Make yourself known – Social media posts, blogs, or even just showing up consistently make people remember you. ➡ Nurture relationships – A happy client today means referrals tomorrow. ➡ Stay persistent – It’s not about the quick wins; it’s about showing up daily. Here’s something surprising: Success isn’t about doing more it’s about doing the right things consistently. I’m curious which of these lessons resonates with you most. Or do you have your strategy that’s worked wonders? Drop it in the comments I’d love to hear your thoughts! If you’re starting as a VA or a freelancer, let’s connect!

My Mission: Making Success Feel Effortless In a world where time is precious, my mission is to make your to-do list feel less like a mountain and more like a walk in the park. I’m here to take on the tasks that might be keeping you up at night, whether it’s organizing your inbox, managing projects, or streamlining operations. I see myself as the behind the scenes hero, ensuring that you have the space, energy, and clarity to focus on your bigger dreams. My goal? To make you feel like your success is not just attainable, but inevitable. My Vision: A Partnership Built on Trust, Efficiency, and a Touch of Fun I envision a world where my clients feel empowered, organized, and understood, knowing they have someone they can rely on. I’m not here to just complete tasks; I’m here to be your right hand, anticipating needs, solving problems, and bringing ideas that can move your business forward. Every project, every deadline, and every interaction is an opportunity for me to bring my all to the table. I believe in efficiency that feels seamless and support that feels human because even the most productive workday could use a bit of humor and heart. Why This Mission Matters to Me I’m on this journey because I genuinely believe that the work we do together has the potential to elevate both of us. Freelancing isn’t just about checking tasks off a list; it’s about creating meaningful progress. It’s about building connections, making a difference in someone’s day, and knowing that, in some small way, I’m part of their success story. For me, there’s nothing more rewarding than seeing a client achieve their goals and knowing I helped make that possible. So, if you’re looking for someone who’s as invested in your goals as you are who’s ready to turn chaos into clarity, tackle tasks with energy, and bring positivity and professionalism to the mix I’d love to be your go-to virtual assistant. Here’s to a future of productivity, partnership, and plenty of wins ahead. Let’s make things happen, together! #MissionStatement #Vision #60DayLinkedInChallenge #LinkedInChallenge #MeetTheVA #VirtualAssistants #RemotePowerhouse

The reality of starting as a Virtual Assistant When I first stepped into the virtual assistant world, I had a mix of excitement and nerves. I had done my research, taken courses, and followed and connect with other successful VAs online. It looked like the perfect way to work remotely, set my own schedule, and make an impact. But as I got started, I quickly realized, there’s a big difference between knowing what to do and actually doing it. Here are a few things you should know before starting; 1. Finding clients takes time (and consistency). You would think that when you announce your VA business, clients would come knocking. Spoiler alert🚨they won't. You have to put yourself out there, network, market your skills, and prove your value. The key to this is #Consistency. Even when it felt like no one is noticing, showing up consistently will make all the difference. 2. Imposter syndrome is real. At first, you will doubt your qualifications. But you have to learn that confidence comes from ACTION. You have valuable skills already, you just need to trust yourself and keep learning along the way. 3. Small wins matter. That first client, that first positive testimonial, that first time someone refers you, those moments fuel the journey. It’s easy to focus on what’s not happening fast enough, but celebrating small wins keeps the progress going. What’s one thing you wish you knew before starting your freelance or VA journey? I’d love to hear your thoughts! #virtualassistant

As I look back on my journey as a virtual assistant, I am filled with gratitude for the experiences that shaped my path. From the early days of taking on small projects to now running VA Services by Ella and coaching the next generation of VAs, it has been an incredible ride. I am reminded of the one piece of advice that I always share with beginners VA—and a mantra that has served me well and my team: “Always underpromise and overdeliver.” In the world of virtual assistance, it can be tempting to align your efforts with the client’s budget or the project’s scope. But here’s the truth: Never underestimate the power of exceeding expectations. Even if a client’s budget seems modest, never let that dictate the level of effort you invest. Approach every task with your A-GAME. Go above and beyond, and watch its impact on your relationships and reputation. It is not just about meeting the minimum—it is about setting the bar high and consistently surpassing it. Delivering more than expected builds trust, a reputation that stands out in a crowded market, earns referrals and ultimately helps you grow in your career. It is this mindset that has helped VABYELLA thrive and allowed us to support our amazing clients. #virtualassistant #careeradvice #freelancingtips #beginnervirtualassistant #vabeginners #remotework #virtualassistantlife #workfromhome #freelancerlife #digitalnomad #onlinebusiness #virtualassistanttips
