Freelance VA Newbie? Character and Commitment Freelance VA Newbie? Character and Commitment | Page 2
for help, of course, you'd also like assistance coming from experts rather than hiring a VA newbie that
needs to be trained. Right?
Freelance newbie, need not be discouraged tho. While most clients
look to hire experienced VA, there are still some companies and clients
who give chances to inexperienced aspiring virtual assistants like us.
Tho, they will still require you to have at least basic skills and bits of
knowledge about virtual tasks. Like you should know how to
communicate in English written and verbally, must know basic data
entry, or at least knows how to type, confident in using computers and
the internet since this is a virtual world. Basic photo editing, and other
basic admin skills. Again do not worry. It’s less complicated than it
sounds. Most basic skills you already have and knew from college days
and or from your past work experiences. You just have to know what it
is. Know what you love doing, and know what you are good at.
What Matters?
Your character and commitment, this matters. The point is; though you’re a VA newbie... you can
still brave the freelance industry. Though you don't know where to start, there’s a lot of ways you can
learn. It’s a matter of perspective, on how you see things. The process will test your character;
rejections after rejections, learning after learning and you must be ready. You must be committed to
learn and continue with the process. Be committed to yourself and commit to what you want. It’s a
matter of character and commitment to what you want to achieve. How decided and how far you are
willing to go and do to achieve it. Your character and commitment… These matters.
Still Clueless?
There’s actually a lot of things you can do and a lot of ways you can learn
on how to be a freelance VA. You can try learning in watching videos on
YouTube, joining groups that give free lessons, or online courses paid or
unpaid that you can take to widen your information about this career. Join
me here as I enter my journey as a freelance VA and let’s learn together.
That being said, thank you my FVA family for the forever guidance.
