THOh, you thought you needed 10k followers and 47 cold DMs a day to find clients as a VA?
Absolutely not.
Warm leads convert faster.
They pay better.
And they stick around longer.
That’s exactly why we teach people > platforms - always.
Here’s what’s really working for Virtual Assistants right now:
1️⃣ Start with your people.
You’re already surrounded by folks who need help. The key is here is clarity. Make a list (really - sit down and think about it) and reach out.
People want to refer you, but they can’t if they don’t know what you do. Be clear. Be direct. And don’t be afraid to repeat yourself.
2️⃣ Use social like a normal person.
No fancy branding. No viral dances. Just show up and talk about your VA business.
What you do + who you help + how you help them + a little bit of you = connection.
Think of social as the trust-builder, not the conversion machine.
3️⃣ Referrals are the easiest yes.
Referrals work because they come with built-in trust. If someone already loves working with you, they want to share that experience.

“Hey, I’m thinking about opening up more availability. Know anyone who might want my support?”
(Yup, it’s that simple… no over-explaining needed)
