So you wanna be a Virtual Assistant (VA)?
Beyond the e-learning modules, downloadable templates/checklists and resources that we provide to our enrollees, the other main component of our training is the member forum where they put us through our paces and ask us anything that comes up in either their job search or while working as assistants.
One common line of questioning surrounds that of being a Virtual Assistant or VA. What do they do? How do they get started? What do they charge?... and any number of other questions. Not being virtual assistants ourselves, we felt it best to seek out a top VA—in this case a VA coach and trainer—and get their take on how they made the transition to becoming a VA and what working as a VA is all about.
Thankfully Sydni Craig-Hart, founder of EAtoVA.com—a VA coaching service—, was more than willing to get on the phone with us and answer our questions. Now that our members have had a chance to listen to this interview, we’re pleased to offer it to you, our blog readers, to get a better understanding of what being a virtual assistant is all about. Enjoy!

What a great idea of paying it forward, in a way that will ultimately benefit the industry.The better the quality of the VA the better the reputation of the industry particularly as there seems to be controversy about partnering with a VA or employing one. (I believe you partner with a VA not employ one).
I am glad to see there is coaching assistance available for VA’s. Thanks.
