Comprehensive Virtual Assistant Training

I started my virtual assistant business in 2015 and since then I’ve trained nearly 3,000 other students on how to build a profitable virtual assistant business from scratch.

I also launched a tech-training lab with over 60 courses to help VA’s learn the tech-skills they need to specialize in their services and charge higher rates!

I’m going to go in-depth into both of these programs, but here’s a short breakdown of what each of them are and how they’re different: 

The SavvySystem is an online course that takes you step-by-step into launching, growing, and eventually scaling your own virtual assistance business from scratch. 

This option is perfect for someone who wants to start a profitable at-home business and needs a step-by-step roadmap that shows them exactly how to do it. 

SavvyVault is a membership that includes over 60 advanced courses on tech tools and systems that you can use in your own virtual assistant business or for your clients. You get access to all the tutorials at the time of purchase, and a new training is added EVERY month!

This tech training lab is ideal for anyone who wants to refine their skills as a virtual assistant. Maybe they want to become a virtual assistant but have no experience, or they have general skills and want to learn specific programs so they can charge higher rates for specialized services. 

These two products have two separate goals, but as you can see they can work really well together!

Common FAQs

What if I live outside the U.S.?

I get questions all the time from people who wonder if our virtual assistant training can work for them outside of the United States.

The answer is…YES!

We have students from all over the world experiencing success with our program. The beauty of virtual assistance is that it is a remote job, so you offer your services from ANYWHERE. 

 

What skills do I need to start as a virtual assistant?

A lot of new VA’s worry about not having the knowledge or experience to find clients, but the beautiful thing about VA work is that it’s a learned skill.

No one is born knowing how to design graphics or set up automated invoices, right? Everything you need to know to be successful can be learned, and that’s why I’ve created these virtual assistant training programs to help you.

If you have a computer, reliable internet, and you’re the type of person who is easily self-taught (meaning you can Google things and catch on quickly)… virtual assistance can work for you!  You don’t need experience to start right away!

Check out this video to learn more about what skills you can offer as a virtual assistant… it’s more simple than you might think!

 

What are the duties of a virtual assistant?

All virtual assistants offer remote services to other businesses. The day-to-day duties of a VA will vary though depending on the niche you specialize in.

For example, if you’re a VA offering general administrative services your duties might include managing your client’s inbox or organizing data within a spreadsheet.

If you’re a VA specializing in social media management, then your duties will include things like creating social media graphics, scheduling posts, or replying to DMs for your client’s account.

Read this post to learn more about what a virtual assistant is and the type of services they can offer.

 

How much can I charge for VA services?

Virtual assistance has fantastic earning potential!

If you’re just starting out with general administrative tasks, design, or marketing skills (data entry, social media posting, simple graphics, basic calendar management, etc.), you can charge anywhere from $25 — $40 per hour depending on your skill level.

Once you develop more advanced skills like creating advanced graphics, making edits on WordPress, SEO, or course creation you can easily charge $30 – $50 or more per hour.

VA specialists in web design, advanced social media strategy, or email marketing should charge at least $50 or more per hour!

Here’s the thing — the more advanced your skills, the more you can earn… and that’s why a training program like SavvyVault is so valuable.

Read this post to learn more about how to charge for your virtual assistant services. 

 

How long will it take to get clients?

One of the other questions I get asked often is how quickly it will take to find clients.

This depends and varies for everyone based on how much they apply themselves.

Some students get through our courses very quickly, and they’re able to find clients before finishing the training. 

These are usually students who put what they’ve learned into practice and are actively networking and applying to job opportunities.
