How I Booked Out My Virtual Assistant Biz (Without Upwork or Burning Out)
Let’s be honest: The VA space is noisy.
Scroll LinkedIn, hop into any Facebook group, and it won’t take long before someone’s handing out recycled advice like candy:
“Just join Upwork.”
“Post every day.”
“Do free work to build your portfolio.”
“Hustle harder.”
“Manifest more.”
I’ve heard it all. And I’m here to say—none of that built the kind of business I run today.
I started in 2007. Before “virtual assistant” was a keyword. Before Canva existed. Before there were templates for everything. I pieced this together with zero shortcuts and a whole lot of mistakes.
But here’s what I know now: booking premium clients doesn’t come from being everywhere. It comes from being ready when the right client shows up.
So I created a guide to help you get there.
10 Pro Moves to Land Premium Virtual Assistant Clients
(and it’s free, because real strategy shouldn’t be gatekept)
This isn’t surface-level theory. These are the actual moves that took me from cobbling together side gigs to supporting powerhouse founders at $75–$100/hr.
Inside, you’ll learn how to:
Tighten your online presence so premium clients recognize your value right away.
Prep client-ready materials (your proposal is just one piece of the full picture).
Say “no” with clarity—because misaligned clients drain more than they pay.
Use a clear pre-call script to sound like a pro before a Zoom ever happens.
Simplify onboarding so clients feel secure—and you don’t start from scratch.
It’s the system I wish I had when I started.

Why I Made This
Because every week, I hear from VAs in my Facebook group (Booked Solid Collective) and in my DMs who say things like:
“I’m good at what I do—but I’m stuck chasing clients who don’t respect my time.”
“I’m burnt out from undercharging and overdelivering.”
“I want to be booked out, but not at the cost of my sanity.”
Same. That’s why this guide isn’t about posting more. It’s about preparing better.
Premium clients don’t come from luck or hashtags. They come from:
Knowing what you stand for.
Having boundaries that support—not sabotage—your peace.
Showing up in the right rooms (digitally or otherwise).
Creating a business that’s not dependent on you “selling” all the time.
This guide walks you through each of those shifts—clearly, calmly, and without the rah-rah.
This Is for You If…
You’ve ever taken on a client and instantly felt that pit in your stomach…
You’ve stalled on onboarding because you weren’t quite sure what to send…
Or you’re just tired of duct-taping your business together every month.
This guide gives you a way forward.
