Description

Want a flexible side hustle you can do from anywhere? (Even if you don’t think you have the “right” skills?)

Today we break down how to start as a virtual assistant, even if you’ve never worked online before.

You’ll hear from VA coach Laura Nicole Jennings, who shares:

  • What services are most in demand right now
  • How to identify skills you already have that clients will pay for
  • How much you can realistically earn in your first 3–6 months
  • Where and how to find your first paying client
  • What AI is not replacing — and why VA work is still in demand
  • The difference between hourly and retainer contracts
  • Who pays for what when it comes to software and subscriptions
  • How to build recurring income with built-in compensation reviews

If you’re looking for a part-time income stream with full-time flexibility — or you’re just VA-curious — this episode is packed with practical insights to help you explore the option.
