👩‍💼 Become a Virtual Assistant

If you’re organised, reliable, and enjoy supporting others, becoming a virtual assistant (VA) is a smart, flexible way to earn online.

You don’t need advanced tech skills, just solid admin experience, good communication, and the confidence to show up and get things done.

It’s one of the most straightforward ways to use your professional background to fund your travels.

🧠 What You’re Really Offering

You’re helping busy people stay on top of their work by offering:

• Time-saving support

• Administrative structure

• Consistent, reliable communication

• Peace of mind

Clients aren’t just paying for tasks, they’re paying for trust, follow-through, and things being handled without hassle.

🛠 Skills You’ll Need

• Organisation and time management

• Email and calendar tools (Gmail, Outlook, Calendly)

• Communication (Zoom, Slack, Trello)

• Light tech troubleshooting

• Patience, discretion, and people skills

• Problem-solving and proactivity

You don’t need to know everything. Just start with the basics, then build from there.

💸 Startup Costs

You can begin with very little, just basic tools and a few optional extras.

• Laptop: already owned

• High-speed internet: essential

• Tools (Google Workspace, Canva, Trello): mostly free

• Upwork or Fiverr account: free

• Optional courses or certifications: $0–$200

Total setup: $0–$100 to get started

⏰ Time Commitment

• Client work: 2–6 hours/day (part-time or full-time)

• Admin + client communication: 1–2 hours/day

• Skill development: 2–3 hours/week

You control your schedule. Just be consistent and communicative once clients rely on you.
