This was great, I've freelanced part time data entry on and off for years but never thought thought turn it into my own business, I'm glad I found you, this was so informational thank you so much!!
Hello Stephanie - if you don’t mind where do you find part time data entry work? I’m currently still in-person full time working as an Administrative Assistant but I’m really interested in pt data entry work that I can possibly do during the evenings and weekends as I figure out how to go VA 100%. Thank you so much!!
I agree with Maria, where do you find data entry work? I've looked at all of the job sites and every single time they have come up as spammy or phishy scammers. I can't seem to find an honest job in just data entry, any help appreciated.
This is such a valuable resource for anyone building their portfolio! 👏 It's amazing how Canva can empower us to create professional-looking presentations of our work. 💪 I'm sure this video will help tons of people put their best foot forward!
A new subscriber from Nigeria. I have been looking for how to create portfolio as a customer support agent. I just saw yours and the use of examples already showed me all i need to do. Thanks for sharing this
OMG, thank you so much. I'm so lost in this. A lot of samples that I've found they include projects... while my experience is only administration staff... I have no project at all. This is a great idea to share. Thank you 😉
I came across your YT channel and I am struggling on how to create a portfolio without client experience. I had so many questions that comes through my mind right now of where should I start, what would i include, etc. Thank you for sharing your insights and some knowledge. Now i can start building my own portfolio from scratch. I subscribed also since I am now your biggest fan from the Philippines in all my VA needs.
This was so helpful. I'm always wondering what I should put in a portfolio for General VA as a starter. I'm looking around but most I see are vague answers. Thanks for this one!

Hi! Thank you for this. But I have a question, I can show works for my portfolio but I don't have testimonials as I'm a new VA. Can I skip it and add it later when I have work already? I hope you'll notice my comment. 🙏
Hello Abbey, I just love your content. I’m a parenting blogger and looking into adding virtual assistant as services I provide. Will I have to make another website for a portfolio or can I just add a services tab on my blog?
hello👋here in 2024 im a new VA considering to make a portfolio. 2 years later would you say that this will still help me improve my business and gain clients? and do I use a portfolio to apply for jobs?
We recommend starting with a portfolio to showcase your experience, skills and services before investing any time or money into creating a website. You can use it when applying for jobs and in some cases it will be the potential clients first insight to who you are as a person and as a VA.
Thanks for your question! First, you may have more experience than you realize. Check out this video: 5 EASY Steps to Become a VA with NO EXPERIENCE ua-cam.com/video/9Zi6PsgZkf0/v-deo.html

Hey Abbey, I have a question: if you made a similar portfolio on canva, the work will be saved as different loose images in one folder. However, I would like my customers to be able to browse through my portfolio in the form of a book if I make it available to them via the various platforms. This means my portfolio should be one file rather than a folder with the various pages stored loosely. where is my mistake? Is Canva good for that or should I use another Program? How do I combine it into one file/book? Thank you in advance!

Thank you for making this video maam...
You're welcome!!
Should you include your portfolio on your website as a private page? Or a link that opens your portfolio?
That's totally up to you! You can totally use your website as your portfolio! :)
Great question
I have been trying to ask for a testimonial. What can I say to them?
Great question! ChatGPT can be a great help for formulating questions and feedback forms.
If I don't have any testimonials then how can I creat portfolio for virtual assistant 😅😢
Character references from previous colleagues can be equally as powerful. Or testimonials from previous employers or volunteer roles. You've got this!
can i start VA even though i don't have experience? thabks
Thanks for your question! First, you may have more experience than you realize. Check out this video: 5 EASY Steps to Become a VA with NO EXPERIENCE ua-cam.com/video/9Zi6PsgZkf0/v-deo.html
So how do insert the character reference? Or how many?
2-3 should be all you need!
