I recently completed Erin Booth's Virtual Assistant Skills Training, and I couldn't be more pleased with the experience! The course is well-structured, thorough, and truly designed to equip VAs with essential skills. Erin's teaching approach is clear and practical, making complex concepts easy to understand. From time management to effective client communication, each module added immense value to my professional toolkit. I highly recommend this course to anyone looking to sharpen their VA skills and stand out in the industry!
Please I have this two questions (1) how much is the cost of VA course? (2) Is there going to be a professional certificate after course completion?@@ErinBooth

This has seriously inspired me so much to find a career that I feel fully passionate about. Loving travel already and enjoying comparing and contrasting hotels, flights, and activities is genuinely fun to me and I never thought I could turn that into a career! I would love to see more content on getting started without previous clients and building a resume from the start. As I’ve done this a lot for myself but not for others and I want to be able to prove I can provide what they want
I've always loved copywriting, therefore I paid for a course about six months ago and after the training, it seemed like I was confused to know which skill I really wanted to focused on. However, few weeks ago, I started thinking of VA and today I came across this video here and now I can say it confidently that Virtual Assistant is the one for me. Cos I just had some self discovery. Thanks Erin Booth
I was sleepy and full of fatigue. Until I came across this video. I am looking for something like this to do. I have been thinking about what needs to be part of me as I drastically change in different dimensions in this season of my life. I am tired of frequently being disappointed as a sales representative which caused me to benefit nothing but sacrificing my resources for employers without any benefits.
This is my first time watching a video from you, and I really learnt a thing or two; especially that of changing the approach... Thank you so much... 🎉
I have to say, I loved the video, but what I loved the most were here Eyes. Anyway, every piece of information that she gave us here is very important, so we can find ourselves a niche, and even more important, so we can rate ourselves in a better way. I've seen some companies offering a 35$/hr, and I think it is the Best rate because of all the work that you have to do for them.
Hello Erin ,actually iam so exited to be part and parcel of the training and improve my skils on VA,iam diving in step by step to becoming a Virtual Assistance
Hi, Erin Thank you so much for the course. I am really considering becoming a virtual assistant. I love how you presented the realities of becoming Virtual assistant.
Hello Erin. I really love your content. I'm diving in and I'm going to start my VA business! Thank you for all of your helpful content both here and on Udemy.
Thank you, ms. Erin. This video is very informative. I've been thinking about being a VA. But i don't know where to start. But now i have an idea thanks to you. Watching from the Philippines.
Great intro to the VA world! This course covers the essentials for getting started. If you're ready to take it further, the membership program looks like a valuable next step.

I've wanted to be a VA for a while but have struggled to find the right kind of info - your delivery and content is a godsend, thank you so much! I live in the UK and have 30 year's experience as a Medical Secretary and want to offer this service, which will include audio typing/medical transcription, appointment booking, diary management, email management, digital organisation (which I didn't know was a thing until I saw this vid!) My target clients are doctors, practitioners, clinics and hospitals. Do you have some advice on where to find these please?
That's so great to hear, and very exciting! I'm hoping people chime in in the comments because where I'm based (USA), it's fairly uncommon for VAs to work remotely in the medical field because of strict privacy laws. Having said that, I do know of VAs that become HIPAA compliant so that they can work with US companies. Sorry to say that I do not have much information beyond that!
Hi Erin, I want to Start business as VA. I know lots of stuff,but I don't know how I can organise my skills and how I have start. Start watching your video..let's see how far I can go..
Thank you for this information! Makes sense 👍 This is invaluable as some are selling courses on being a VA with coaching & support for expensive prices. I am looking for reasonable without being taken advantage of.
I just started my VA business. Just needed clients. I am doing General V.A for now. I am trying to figure out what my background can do as a VA. ( RN).. thanks for this video-easter
It was an amazing beginner course, pretty much covered everything that revolves around being a virtual assistant. I really want to know how to intern under you ?
Hi Erin, I am from Sri Lanka. I have been a VA for the last 10 years. Now I would love to start a VA business with a VA team. I would greatly appreciate your opinion and advice. Thanks!
This was very helpful ,I just concluded virtual assistant and social media manager but I don’t know how to get job with it,I can manage account or page,I can also revamp page and design highlights covers too
Hi Erin, i have been following up your training on VA, this is David from Nigeria, i am late but i really want to be a VA i dont know where to start, please if i can get
Hi Erin, Thanks so much for all the valuable content you put out. I'd like to join your TH-cam membership, as described in the description of this video. I don't see an option to join on your channel. I'm missing something, and I don't know what.
Hey Erin, do you allow promotions on your channel. I have a good offer for coaches and consultants from the UK, USA and Canada who have Facebook accounts. I'll really be grateful if you helped me out by allowing me to post my invitation in the comments. Kind regards.
Question: What does salary look like when you have multiple clients that are paying you by the hour? Are you charging them for your availability and then doing tasks for everyone in that same hour? Or are you working for each separately by the hour and therefore only getting paid for max 40 hours a week?
You charge each client for the tasks that you do for them. You don’t have to max out at 40 hours… you could 100 hours per week if you wanted to. There’s no limit on how much you work.
but for example if you only work 40 hours a week but take on a few clients and charge them by the hour. You're bound to be working for some of them in the same hour correct? My real question: Is the only way to scale your business with more clients by a. working more hours or b. taking monthly flat rates? Or is the standard to estimate how many hours they need and if you happen to either a. not have tasks for them that day or b. finish your tasks in less time, you still ''work for them 2 or 4 hours a day''@@ErinBooth
maybe i also don't fully understand the nature of the work yet. As a general VA for example, Do you work for the client 8 hours a day and your work is your availability during those hours to complete tasks regardless of whether you have tasks? Or is it based on how much you actually work for them a day and that can change per day?@@ErinBooth
Hi Erin - what are the basic forms that a VA needs like step 1 is lead form, 2nd is a questionnaire, 3rd book a call, then 4th a proposal? Do you know what are the steps by steps are needed? Please advise. thanks for your help.
Hi, thank you for the video, it is really educative. I have a question please, I've only worked as a telecom customer service representative (Tele sales and also problem solving) can I start a VA business?
Hi Erin! Just started looking into VA work. I'd love to focus on corporate travel but when I was employed in that field, I used the specific GDS provided by that company, what tool do you use to book your clients? Thanks!!
