TOPIC: So You Want to Work Remotely (Like a VA)?

What Will You Learn?

Working remotely as a service provider — or Virtual Assistant (VA) — offers incredible freedom, flexibility, and the satisfaction of being your own boss. You get to choose who you work with, set your own schedule, and build a business around your skills.

Of course, that freedom also comes with new challenges. Running your own business means taking charge of everything — from finding clients to managing your time and income.

If you’ve ever wondered what it’s really like to work for yourself online, this session is for you. Drawing on over 20 years of experience in the VA industry, Tawnya Sutherland shares real-world insights and answers to the most common questions, including:

  • WHO becomes a successful VA (and what traits make them shine)

  • WHY clients hire VAs (and how to become indispensable)

  • WHAT services VAs can offer

  • WHEN VAs get paid (and how to price smartly)

  • WHERE VAs find clients — and how to land your first one
