I love this women`s personality. It about having an assistant that makes you and your business feel valued and appreciated.

This is the realest video I've ever seen on being a VA. Thank you.

As a business owner, PLEASE charge way more! (When I heard you and your husband produced a video for $350 I was surprised. The going rate for any sort of video production and editing, even on a tiny camera is at least $1,000 and up here in California). I really enjoyed your video and you have a very nice persona about you. Know your value and but don't undersell your skills. 🥰

Thanks for being so REAL 🙌🏾

Very realistic video and straight to the point! THANK YOU!

Thank you for sharing this and being so honest and transparent! I love it.

I love it ! Straight to the point, covered a lot of points that I needed to know , thank you !!!❤️

Amazing video! Thank you for sharing every point of not only being being a VA but also a business owner/Independent contractor. You’re straight to the point but very professional and educational.

Wow thank you so much for this video! Very informative and honest, most people just get on here and say being a VA is so easy it’s good money freedom they don’t talk about the hard part and business expenses etc!

I really appreciate the realness of this video all the videos i have seen have been all rainbows and sunshine but this shows the work it takes

This video was very very good, very insightful and brutally honest!! I love the fact that this video is concise and to the point! Good luck on your journey girlfriend!

Awesome video ❤️ thanks for sharing a real life experience as a virtual assistant...real inspiration

Thank you, and God bless you for your transparency!!!

Thank you for being honest and real!! Excellent video!!

Thank you for your honesty and transparency.

Thank you for such an honest video on being a VA

Thank you so much for making this video. I really need to hear this!! So, again.. thanks so much!

Excellent content. Finally, someone speaking on the reality of virtual work. Well done, Faith.

thank you for this! this is so real and detailed. this was so helpful

This was so helpful even though I’m from the UK. It still gave me an idea of the extra cost and money I might need to put aside for any accidents or any unplanned expenses. But I guess with any business there’s a cost of time, money and commitment. Thank you for this faith and for sharing your breakdown and opening about your cost. Really insightful

😳😳😳😳 This really made realize that accepting a job as an VA with a company for hourly pay is totally worth it. I can still freelance to the side & build up a freelance business. On the plus side, I’ll have a consistent pay.😊 Thank you!!!

I've watched so many vids about virtual assistant life and they all just babble about their daily routines and don't tell us what we really want to know. Thanks for making a video actually be about what the title is! And very easy to understand.

This is so interesting! You made quite a nice amount in 3 months, that is great!! :)

Thank you so much for your honesty with all the ups and downs and truth about VA

I'm a bookkeeper. At the beginning most business are not profitable, just keep going you will make more money as your marketing brings you more and better clients.

I’m starting ..my VA Business soon , I just wanna say Thankyou for sharing with me .

thank you for this video. i needed this. thanks

Your video is very interesting. You give very detail, honest opinions, advice, especially you remind that there are tax, fees and cost to do business. Thanks for the helpful video.

Love your honesty

Super informative video! Thank you

Appreciate you spreading your knowledge... xo

Thank you for sharing your experience :-) It really helps us to know how the business work. Cheer up!

Great video. Thank you for your blatant honesty. I was wondering how much someone could make. I am looking to do this full time. I have 25 years experience as an Executive Assistant so I was hoping to take my knowledge and business skills and use them while I am finally "semi-retired" at home. :) Thank you and Good Luck to you. Sweet girl. God Bless.

Yeah this is too much I don’t have time for. Thank you for keeping it real I hate videos where they lie for likes.

Woow this is so real. Thanks for sharing this story.

This is great... Thanks for the sincerity....

Excellent video which is really helpful.

Thank you for your honesty

Great summary :)

Now this was a honest video! ❤

Thank you so much for highlight these caveats. SOOOO many VAs are on bragging about how much money they make while half naked wading through water in a beach somewhere (and what does showing your body off have to do with advertising your VA business?). But they never mention these things and sure, everyone knows you have to pay taxes but you suggested how YOU handle that whereas I haven't heard too many others mention it. Thank you for the transparency. I REALLY appreciate it.

Thank you for being honest 🙂 it's been really hard to get the 1st client 😥

This is a great honest look at the reality of being a virtual assistant. While there are opportunities to earn, it takes time, hustle, and you need to be prepared for the costs of running a business.

Very honest video. You have to charge more as your skills progress. I'm sure you have by now. Definitely a side hustle type of job

Woow this is very inspirational for me who wants to become VA as well Very easy simple and realistic income

Thanks You so much for all this information. I wanna work as a VA but You Say something important about taxes.

I appreciate all the resources you give. Your transparency is so appreciated and helpful. It would be great to know your experience with that now as well as how mom-ing is going!

Thanks for sharing your story. You're talented honestly. I couldn't help but think your prices were way too low. How are you doing now?

This was so great of you to share ur experiences #raw. Any updates as of today? I'm so curious 🤗

Thank you for sharing your story. I am also in the Virtual Assistant Savvies/Abby's group ☺

Thanks for being awesome

thanks for the realistic VA business.

I want to dive in, VA am an accountant, worked in banking and management. But don't know where to start. This helps out abit thanks

Can you please make a video sharing your Virtual Assistant Portfolio and how to create one step by step.

What exactly you offer as a virtual assistance? do you have a video about this? thank you

I START MY VA NEXT WEDNESDAY... YOU MADE ME FEEL SO CONFIDENT‼️💌

Darn! I like this video so much I just wish hours were included so we can have an average hourly earnings.

Hi Faith, which facebook groups would you recommend joining as someone who is looking to do this VA journey? Thank you for the video

Your video was very informative. Thanks. I would like also work a similar work. I need to prepare first. Could you tell from where you suggest me to start. I need to start working asap. Thanks for you help.

Hi, Can you recommend me whenever you get those VA jobs that you don’t want ? That’ll really go a long way for me. I look forward to networking.

I’m sorry, I have to say this… you are GORGEOUS to me.

I just need to know where to start learning! 😂

Wow you actually went through the same steps I've gone through. Awesome video! But in first started as a freelance VA back in 2017 then 2018 started my biz with an LLC and worked it as a side hustle. At that time I knew Abbey Ashley and joined her group like she did. Now I resigned from my ft wah tiring job then transitioned into a 2 month client project because it was a full-time thing. This was a leap of faith because I'm like should I take this opportunity with this new client or stay underpaid at this tiring job? So I did it! Left my job for a FT client then ended up working with a VA agency + getting clients on my own. 🙂I know VA agencies don't pay well due to the pay rates but it's the backbone of my business as a job replacement in my mind. But this agency plans to increase pay rate and I'll be getting clients with more hours. So I thank God for that. I tell you it was not easy but all I did was kept the faith, kept going and trusted the process. 😊

I’m 16 I noticed you talked about taxes. I don’t really know much about them

I’m interested in this how do I apply or what I need to start ?

I’m embarking on this journey and this really helped me Thanks for breaking it down cost wise! That made a lot of sense versus some who throw out random numbers.

I can’t seem to find the FB group you recommended for the virtual savvy. Can you post a link or share the name?

👍🏼👏🏼

Is it open camera during work?

great video, I actually learned more from you then a course I paid for on udemy. Just a suggestion if you want to make some extra cash each month you can teach English, I make about $800ish a month... good luck to you :)

Nice

Do you have any idea where we gonna apply

Also where did you learn the editing and copy righting skills? Just happened to know it before you started or is there easy online stuff to look at when you get a client and quickly self teach yourself? That's the biggest thing stopping me

can u plz share with us the FB groups where you found your clients,thank you !!!❤

everytime pewds posts a video my day gets better. honestly

Hay can you help me get client. I want to work as virtual assistant. Plz

But what did you get after taxes?

How long did you take to edit the video of the husband that passed away? That was way too low for video editing services.

Whoa, I haven’t watched yet but you were the most recent vid and my name is Faith….universe…is that you lol

What did you do for the legal side of it and contracts?

What marketing course did you take?

Hey everyone! I just wanted to let you know I'm launching a COURSE! Over the next few months, you'll hear more about it but if you're interested in being notified when it launches, check out the link in the description to take my free "Is virtual assisting right for you?" Quiz. That'll get you on the list to be notified and hear more. Thanks y'all!

Have you increased your pricing? Other VA’s that I come across charge way more 😩

How many hours would you say you spent actually doing the work for your clients?

When starting can I use mobile device separately from my personal mobile so that I do not have to pay a lot for virtual phone equipment?

When it comes to agencies, do they provide access to any of the websites that VA’s commonly use? If the pay is low, but you get access to many of the “tools” it might be beneficial to start there, gain some experience, and make connections that can get you into the networking end of the business.

Hi! Which marketing course did you take?

When you first started out, did you have a website?

Great Video ! Van you gibt ist an Update After 6 months? I am a german VA :-)

What are the names of those facebook groups?

See a lot of videos I’ve seen don’t talk about taxes and whatnot

Yeah, this hurts. You can make more.

Hey there What was the amount of time it took u to complete these VA tasks? For example the u charged 70 dollars for the copy writing how many hours did it take u? I feel like a lot of time went into all those jobs u did! I feel 100-150 hr would be reasonable and profitable! Are u still doing VA I hope u are doing great I’m so interested and want to start but was really curious in if u included the time it takes. Thank you 💜🥰

Hello I hope I can also get a client the same as yours🙏🏼🙏🏼

Are we mixing up VA job with Video editing, Social Media Marketing etc which actually require specific skills that one needs to learn like content writing, video editing etc. And if we have these services sold under the VA umbrella then isnt $10 an hour very cheap? Coz I thought only those who provided services like Basic Market research, handling calls, emails and managing calendars would start with $10 an hour. Also you mentioned that you got an opportunity to do copywriting with zero experience? Like how does that happen? Coz I know people having months and years of copywriting experience and still struggling to get that first Freelance client. I have been doing Content writing for a year now and after so many pitches I still am unable to find that first client for copywriting or copy editing. Guess clients just wanna trust folks from America and Europe. Sorry to be blunt here but here is my take - you provide website designing, video editing and copywriting, social media marketing etc which is great but these cannot be necessarily called VA job at all. These are individual skills. And while I am happy that you have all these skills and you sell well - clients would end up having expectations that a "VA" should be having all these skills and they wouldn't entertain people like me who don't really possess all these skills. You're mixing up a VA job with all the aforementioned skills is what I feel. And lastly - you get paid $900 out of which $300 goes in taxes and transaction fee. And after all those hours you have $155 in hand. I mean this shows freelancing as VA one would end up paying more than earning, isnt it

So you didn't pay for any VA program? Like Savvysystem or VA in 90 days?

So realistic $hr for side income 👍!!! You seem very smart , I recently joined Celljetics and need social media advertising , can you help me? Or recommend someone?

I wanna do this but I feel like I have absolutely no skills like I don’t know what to do, I’ve looked at abbey’s 101 skills workbook but still I’m like I’m not good enough on any of these to charge someone Idk what to do or where to go from here sos :(

what do you need to have to be a va?

Can I become a VA if i’m out of states? Actually Im Asian
