Currently obsessing over: Content batching. Why film every day when you could knock it out once a month!?

Website or No Website?

HOT TAKE: You don't need a website to get clients. You may think I'm CRAZY for thinking this. Abbey — how can an ONLINE business be successful without a website!? Hear me out... It's not that I NEVER think you should have a website (because, duh... I do), but I am a firm believer that you can land your first virtual assistant client and even SELL OUT your services before having a website. I'm all about getting rid of the EXCUSES that we make for ourselves in our business. Because the truth is... you DON'T need a website to get clients for your virtual assistant business. If you've been waiting to set up your website (or been waiting to save up money to have one made)... STOP. Let's get you some CLIENTS first and THEN work on developing your online presence the right way. ​
