Funnel Series #2We’re diving into the three different types of funnels and how to know when your client is ready for one. I’ve brought on Jenn Robbins, a conversion copywriter with over 13 years of experience, who’s also racked up hundreds of millions of views with her fun GIFs. Jenn has worked with a variety of high-level clients, including NYT bestselling authors, 7-figure digital educators, learning management system companies, and non-profits. She’s a funnel and launch expert here to help us simplify the funnel process so you don’t feel overwhelmed, and you’ll leave with the three key steps to building a successful funnel to think on your feet inside your client’s business. Her big theme for funnels is flexibility. It’s not a one-size-fits-all approach, and copying what others do won’t cut it (Sorry, Russell). This is why your clients need YOU to tailor strategies that work specifically for them and be able to help them build it out.Listen to learn more aboutWhat Jenn wishes marketing assistants knew about funnelsHow to know if a client is ready for funnels & where marketing assistants can help with these different stages of developmentWhether freelance service providers should have funnels for their businessThe biggest mistakes Jenn sees & what’s working currently with successful funnelsTune in to sharpen your skills so you can confidently audit, build, refine, and support the funnels that attract the buyers who will ultimately purchase your client’s product.Sponsored by The Digital Marketer’s Workgroup: Are you already doing marketing work but need more clients and a stronger referral network?

If you've been wanting to get started, need the building blocks, and want to know how to get your foot in the door, join us!   I get this question all the time: “If I’m already freelancing, how can I transition to working full-time as a service provider so I can stop working for the man in my 9 to 5 job?” In this bonus episode, I wanted to talk about this because so many people are in a 9 to 5 and they add freelancing as a side hustle (like I did 13 years ago). And then they start to see the writing on the wall. This could be a legit business where you’re self-employed and offering digital services– anything from email marketing, social media, affiliate and launch management to podcast editing, all of that as a real business.  It's a big jump from doing this work in the cracks of time, evenings, and weekends to an independent contractor business that’s replacing your full-time income. But how do you actually make the switch? I’m answering this burning question and sharing more about 4 things you need to do so you can go full-on into freelancing How to make sure you’re financially prepared Networking and building client relationships Practical ways to avoid burnout while still juggling a full-time job How you can learn to become a freelance service provider If you’re balancing a traditional job with a freelance side gig and want more flexibility, you CAN make this transition a reality.    Sponsored by the UDMA School: Join the Unicorn Digital Marketing Assistant School.

An often overlooked part of the online business world: copyright and legal safeguards. Today we’re diving into legal protection for our clients who produce digital courses, memberships, and coaching programs. Sometimes they forget to do some of the most basic things. I cover some of this inside my signature program, the Unicorn Digital Marketing Assistant School, but we need to have a bigger conversation. My guest is lawyer Autumn Witt Boyd who has helped some big names like Amy Porterfield and Jasmine Star build, protect and scale their businesses. After spending the first 10 years of her career battling over copyrights and business issues in courtrooms across the U.S., Autumn left Big Law behind to start the AWB Firm in 2015 so she could spend her days helping entrepreneurs instead of fighting with other lawyers. Listen in to learn more about Potential legal pitfalls that online course creators should be aware of, especially when starting out The three stages of legal protection How course creators can prevent someone from signing up for their course and then stealing it Our experience with copycats and the impact of branding and personal expertise in differentiating oneself from imitators Effective ways to handle refund requests to ensure a fair and positive experience for customers The importance of solid contracts tailored to the specific needs of each business  I love Autumn’s advice because you can apply what she teaches to your own service provider business. I see a lot of new VAs get stuck in this startup phase thinking about all the legal protections they need for themselves. Don't let the legal part stop you from taking action.    Sponsored by Castmagic Castmagic is for podcast hosts, video streamers, or long form content creators that want to get more mileage out of their content.

One of the reasons I love to offer marketing services is I saw very quickly in my freelancer career that if I leaned into marketing and less management, less operations, and less admin, then I had more freedom. Marketing really lends itself to getting ahead. Even if your clients are requiring a weekly task, you can get organized, you can systematize, you can batch things, and you can work on your schedule.  My guest today, Toyin Alli, has a really good marketing service that you could offer as a freelancer that gives you (and your client) that time freedom.

All of us are freelancers for a reason: we want freedom. We also envisioned financial freedom.  We're diving deeper into the bookkeeping, the accounting, and the expenses we can write off so that we are not paying the IRS as much. We're getting credit for running our business because we're already paying a self-employment tax. We might as well take off these additional write-offs so we're not penalized for making more money. But we're doing this so we face our numbers, learn our numbers, and know where we're going. My guest Serena Shoup is a corporate CPA turned bookkeeping business CEO. She’s a mentor for other bookkeepers & accountants and a mom of 3. She built her business as a side hustle to motherhood when she left corporate to have her second daughter. She’s passionate about helping business owners become CEOs and take control of their money through her company Of Course Bookkeeping and she mentors other bookkeepers and accountants to do the same through her company The Ambitious Bookkeeper®️. Listen in to learn more about taking control of your freelance finances to create greater stability essential steps to safeguard your personal assets and streamline your business operations important guidelines and good money habits key deductions that could potentially save you thousands in taxes each year strategies for standing out in your industry and commanding higher rates for your specialized skills Serena is amazing.

Freelancers don’t have to create a dazzling social media presence. I've been there too, feeling the pressure to shine in the social media spotlight. But I realized most of my clients didn't even look for me on Instagram or Facebook. It was through word-of-mouth referrals and professional networks. These connections were a far more effective and less exhausting way of finding potential clients. I've watched so many fellow freelancers go all out on social media, trying to outdo each other. What really matters is having a simple and genuine online presence and making solid connections in the right places. In this episode, you learn: How social media can actually be a waste of time when you’re starting out. You don’t have to offer social media services- there are plenty of other tasks you can do! Using a referral network to your advantage to find clients. The best way to set up a minimal viable presence on your socials. If you're feeling frustrated and overwhelmed because you're struggling to find clients as a freelancer or virtual assistant without social media, tune in. You don't have to do social for work, and you don't have to do social as promotion. Let that idea go. It's not true. I’m walking proof.    I need your feedback!

Content Marketing Series #4   After a year filled with school closures and uncertainty, a dedicated teacher with 15 years of experience found herself spending most of her time at home working on school-related tasks. She knew deep down that this pace was unsustainable. Then, a simple quote shared on social media struck a chord: "You're totally replaceable at work, but you're not replaceable at home. Home is your real life. Keep that perspective always."    In this episode of our Content Marketing series, Sophia Vega shares her freelancer origin story.  Sophia is a military spouse, mom of two humans and two fur babies, and a mental health advocate. She quit teaching and started her own business as a VA within a week. Sophia is now an SEO Strategist and Content Marketer.    When she started as a virtual assistant, she noticed that many clients needed marketing assistance. She focused her studies and courses on marketing and rebranded her business after seeing the shortcomings of a client's marketing consultant. Sophia is a go-getter and put herself out there and started taking on more marketing tasks for clients. She upleveled out of a general VA position and into a specialist role. One of her important lessons: promoting yourself and your skills.   Tune in and learn more as Sophia shares: how her teaching background set her up for success why she niched down into content marketing the steps she took to become a content manager getting started with SEO how to capture a client’s voice advice for people considering freelancing   I know Sophia’s story of wanting more freedom will resonate with many of you. It’s great witnessing this shift with more people embracing specialized roles within the VA community. It's essential for both VAs and clients to understand the diverse skill sets available. Start promoting your expertise, break free from generalization, and embrace the specialized talents that make you a Unicorn.   Sponsored by The Digital Marketer’s Workgroup– Already doing the work and have clients?

Not all revenue is created equal. Sure, when you're starting out, it's easy to say yes to every opportunity that comes your way, but as you grow, it's time to get savvy and figure out how to make more money without burning yourself out. In this episode, Belinda Rosenblum, CPA and Profit Strategist of Own Your Money, shares how to overcome money mindset issues and her experience of working hard but not seeing any profit for her business.  Belinda empowers female entrepreneurs to take control of their profits and finally enjoy the freedom they craved when starting their businesses without sacrificing family time for work. She believes that women deserve to feel confident and secure when it comes to money, and she's on a mission to make sure they consistently bring home the cash they desire each month. She's a coauthor of "Self-Worth To Net Worth: 12 Keys To Creating Wealth Inside And Out," became a self-made millionaire at 33, and has helped her clients and students make or save well over $4,000,000. Tune in to learn more about: why Belinda doesn’t buy into the idea of “charging what you're worth” the difference between a CEO and employee mindset how to figure out a Profit Plan and pay yourself more the real cost of inaction with your rates It all comes down to the value you provide, not just how hard you work. If working hard automatically meant making big bucks, everyone putting in the effort would be rolling in cash.

In this solo episode, I’m dishing out some more real talk on a topic that's been driving me bananas: the importance of instilling confidence in your clients. I've covered a lot of ground on this podcast, from being indispensable to avoiding ghosting, and even the power of kickoff calls. But now, let's talk about something that goes beyond typos and logos. Your branding isn't just about aesthetics– it's about how you behave, communicate, and show up for your clients.   Have you ever wondered why your clients aren't shouting your name from the rooftops or singing your praises? Well, you need to build up your reputation! I’m breaking down how to build and reinforce trust with your clients, even in the tiniest of moments. Instilling confidence in your clients is an ongoing process and it starts from the very first discovery call.    Remember: Every. Interaction. Matters.       Sponsored by UDMA Self-Study Course– Become a unicorn. Learn profitable, in-demand, digital marketing mechanics and tech tactics inside the Unicorn Digital Marketing Assistant School.

Have you just felt the energy sizzlin’ and making progress with one client while another feels like it’s slowing you down? In today’s solo episode, I share some real talk about the three types of clients you’ll see during your work as a freelance digital service provider. I don’t mean industry types of clients, but clients at different stages of the business.  As freelancers, we need to align with clients who have an investment mindset and are focused on long-term growth. You don’t want to get caught in situations where a client is stuck, isn’t moving forward, or they don't have the capacity for the work you're proposing. You need to know when it's time to move on and when you're not too big to do the work.   Sponsored by UDMA Self-Study Course– Become a unicorn.

Today's topic is handling clients with unrealistic expectations. As a digital marketing freelancer, dealing with clients who have unrealistic expectations can be a challenging and frustrating experience. In this solo pep talk episode, I discuss a rejection letter received by a workgroup member from a business owner who was overly focused on perfectionism. I break down how you’re allowed to see red flags during a discovery call and say no if it’s not a good fit. While it’s beneficial to have marketing assets as a freelancer, like a website and social media, you don’t have to have huge follower and engagement numbers. Clients need to look beyond superficial details and understand the value of adding a versatile digital marketer to their team.   Sponsored by The Virtual Writer with Michelle Hunter — an 8-week high-touch, intensive writing experience for virtual assistants to learn how to deliver highly-valued copywriting services and position themselves as a writing assistant and copywriter.

Copywriting Series #6 Is your end goal to be an expert and NOT a worker bee? Then listen up. You have to be able to talk about your services in a way that attracts clients. And that’s the backbone of copywriting, and exactly why you need to invest time and energy into learning the marketing conversation.  It's not about blowing your own horn.

Michelle is a copywriter and content marketing strategist.

It’s unethical, it’s bad for business, and it’s just gross.   That’s why copywriter Tarzan Kay is here to break down what she’s learned about coercive sales and email strategies since building her 7-figure copywriting business, and why she tore it all down.   Tarzan Kay teaches email marketing skills to online businesses, digital course creators, and freelance service providers. She came up in her career writing copy for popular programs in the online marketing space, and very soon created her own programs teaching business owners how to write story-powered emails. Now she’s a leader in revealing how the use of Cialdini’s principles of persuasion can cause harm, especially in the coaching industry. She has now dedicated her work to undoing that harm, and teaching sales strategies that leave space for conversation and critical thinking.   We are covering a lot in this episode from email marketing and sequences to storytelling sequences and style sheets.   You’ll walk away with: The promo email you can’t live without Why inbox management is a crucial responsibility The data point that Tarzan evaluates the success of her nurture emails What should be in your client’s brand voice guide that you probably forgot Audio-email strategy Tarzan uses weekly How to be inclusive in your copywriting   You’ll want to listen to this episode so you’re in the loop on your client’s behalf. You can make sure they’re not using coercive copywriting and unconscious bias in their marketing. It really does start with us and the copy we put out; we can be leaders with our clients.   Sponsored by The Virtual Writer with Michelle Hunter — an 8-week high-touch, intensive writing experience for virtual assistants to learn how to deliver highly-valued copywriting services and position themselves as a writing assistant and copywriter.

Copywriting Series #4   Laura “effing” Belgray is known for writing the only emails you’ll ever read. In a noisy digital age where open rates are dropping, lists are shrinking, and email inboxes are flooded and abandoned, Laura’s emails get the Holy Grail of opens and clicks. How does she do it?  By adding personality. Today, she’ll break down how to add personality to your copy (and your clients’) so that your subscribers, followers, and fans actually want to read your stuff. And buy too. Her writing tricks will help you stand out in the crowded marketplace of digital service providers and actually get your clients results. (And if your clients have success, you have success! Cha-ching!)   Laura, founder of Talking Shrimp and co-creator of The Copy Cure, is a copywriting expert who helps entrepreneurs find the perfect words to express and sell what they do in a way that gets them paid to be themselves. Through her work with hundreds of clients (including online biggies like Marie Forleo and Amy Porterfield) she’s seen firsthand that putting “you” into your copy and all through your business is pure magic for getting people to love you up, share your ideas, and happily click your buy button.   In addition to online types, Laura’s list of clients and credits include NBC, Bravo, HBO, TBS, Fandango, and many, many more. So if you watch TV -- and don’t skip the commercials -- you've probably seen her words on air.   Listen and learn as Laura shares: How to write emails that actually get opened Her method to recycling previous popular emails Why Active Campaign is on her hitlist (kidding, not kidding) The most important email to have in every launch 5 tips for writing subject lines that get the open Her strategies behind writing preview text The story behind her disclaimer text   And most importantly, Laura gives solid advice for jumping into the copywriter role when you’re new and organizational hacks to operating behind the scenes as a digital marketing assistant for a “nightmare” client like Laura.   Make sure you preorder her new book “Tough Titties,” which comes out June 13. She calls it the “late bloomer’s coming of age” and her husband calls it “Loser Sex in the City”.    Sponsored by The Virtual Writer with Michelle Hunter — an 8-week high-touch, intensive writing experience for virtual assistants to learn how to deliver highly-valued copywriting services and position themselves as a writing assistant and copywriter.

Copywriting Series #1   As a digital marketing unicorn, you know it’s important to use stories in your content. But what happens when you’re in that moment, staring at a blank google doc, waiting for inspiration? That moment when you need content and you can’t think of a good story… Stories have been around for thousands of years. Stories make it more likely for our brains to absorb teachable moments. When it comes to marketing, potential buyers are trying to answer two key questions: Do you have what I want and are you the person I want to do business with?  Stories help us highlight the “slice of life” moments that build a connection with your audience. In the first episode of my series all about Copywriting, I’m sitting down with CEO and Founder of the Copy Confidence Society, Marisa Corcoran. In addition to writing the words that get landing pages converting at 60% (or higher!) and crafting personality-filled emails, Marisa helps coaches and creatives craft their uncopyable message. Marisa is here to teach us how to “strip down” a story, or reverse engineer your storytelling. Tune in to this episode so the next time you’re stuck waiting for inspiration you have a proven formula for a winning story!   📣Sponsored by The Virtual Writer with Michelle Hunter — an 8-week high-touch, intensive writing experience for virtual assistants to learn how to deliver highly-valued copywriting services and position themselves as a writing assistant and copywriter.

Launch Series #5 What’s the best way to get the lessons learned from a launch and have an actionable improvement plan for next time?  Answer: a retrospective.  Retrospectives are meetings held after a launch to discuss what happened internally during the launch planning, release, and promotional phases. If you run an online business and are bringing together a team for product, event or course launches, retrospectives are a crucial opportunity to get everyone together in the same Zoom room to discuss what happened. If you’re hiring and working with remote freelancers—people who are independent thinkers and prioritize flexible schedules—it's especially important to create a work culture of open communication, honesty, and continuous improvement. I’m here with guest Becky Rubenstein to wrap up my Launch series on Unicorns Unite with a very important element of a successful launch: the Retrospective or debrief. Becky is a brand strategist and content creator who believes work should be meaningful and human-centered. After recovering from corporate burnout, Becky launched a freelance business helping women-led entrepreneurs and organizations tell their stories so they can build the businesses of their dreams. She also helps solopreneurs ready to scale create healthy remote team processes. Becky shares how retrospectives benefit business owners and their teams.  Tune in to this episode and learn how to: Increase team productivity by 25% Create a culture of open communication, honesty, and continuous improvement Build trust and better working relationships with remote teams of freelancers If you're following my grassroots approach and you’re working your way up to Launch Manager, launch retrospectives are another powerful tool you can bring to the table to help your client reach their business goals while you embrace a leadership role.

You don't know what's gonna happen with your money (or your client’s money!).   This is why I invited Ads Manager and “The Ads Maven”, Jenn Possick, to join me on Unicorns Unite. Jenn is an expert when it comes to Facebook and Instagram Ads.  She’s doing this work for her clients, she’s in the weeds, and she knows what’s working and what’s not working. When it comes to launching, ads can be a powerful list-building tool and help fill up our clients’ launch events with a fresh audience.   In this episode, Jenn shares: Her minimum recommended monthly ads budget (and what she recommends for a launch budget) What content makes the most successful ads The biggest challenges clients have with ads (hint, hint: it’s probably not what you think!)   If you are ready to learn all about Facebook and Instagram Ads and get clarity on what your clients need to be doing for success, this is the episode for you.  Learn from someone who's in there, who knows what's going on, who stays up to date with the constant changes from Meta; a true expert in the day-to-day of ads, Jenn Possick!

Launch Series #3 Ok, unicorns, I’m delivering another powerful episode this week all about launch emails. What if I told you that most of the sales and conversion wisdom we learned from the marketing gurus (and recommend to our clients) is no longer matching the voice of the customer?

In other words, she knows what people want… In this episode of Unicorns Unite, Brittany shares the SIX emails you need for a launch email strategy that: Gives the audience the information they need to make a confident decision Doesn’t result in high refund rates after the cart closes Empowers the buyer (and drops the manipulative sales tactics of the past) This kind of “insider knowledge” is exactly what will help you to show up as a unicorn in your next client launch.

Launch Series #2 One of the worst feelings in the online space is hitting publish on a new sales page and hearing crickets. No mad rush of enrollments. No payment notifications. No one buying. Nada. Unfortunately, it happens all the time.  Yes, zero-sale launches are a rite of passage and a “fail-forward” moment for entrepreneurs to get better with their offers and messaging. But we’d like to skip to the good part where launches actually get people buzzing with excitement, grow an email list, and generate a surge of sales. So here’s how digital marketing assistants can help their clients avoid launch cricketville: Plan. No surprise to you, if you’ve listened to the first episode of this Launching Podcast Series, planning is crucial. (Check out #140  I talk about being a Launch Manager.

Listen up virtual assistants, creative specialists, and marketing mavens, always charge for your services. Today I’m sharing a couple of real-life stories where giving away “free” services actually backfired for these service providers.  This is an important lesson to learn, especially if you’re new in business when your reputation is at stake. I’ll also help you find ways to thank referrals without giving away free hours. To be a viable, sustainable freelance business, you have to pay attention to your profits and where you’re spending your billable time. Free doesn't make you money. Plus, we really don’t want you to resent your client work or your business down the road. Also, pay attention to the one thing you can do to combat the freebie expectation from well-meaning friends, family, peers and acquaintances. This tactic works every time You will never do free work again.    Announcement: The Digital Marketing Workgroup is closing for the year.

Does the thought of a discovery call make your palms sweat? Have you had a few and wish you had done better?  Discovery calls are relationship builders.  Projecting confidence is a learned skill anyone can master — without much effort — and even as an introvert or behind-the-scenes queen.  In this episode, I’ve asked Tracie Patterson, a sales coach and offer specialist, to give us tips we can apply on our next discovery calls so we feel more in control and confident. Her specialty is selling yourself without being salesy. She'll teach us how to listen during the discovery call so you can build trust and connections. It all comes down to how you communicate your skills and prices that will convince the client to hire you above others, so it’s important to understand your jittery emotions and how to use them to your advantage.    Tracie’s tips on what to do as a newbie will surprise you. Especially when it comes to where to put your focus during a call.  Ultimately, discovery calls are an opportunity for you to see whether you and the prospect are a good fit.  So have fun with it. Be yourself. And calm those nerves with these discovery call strategies. Enjoy!   Heads up: The Digital Marketing Workgroup is closing for the year.

Signing that first virtual assistant client is the biggest hurdle to jump over in your service-based business. Once you do, your confidence will soar, you’ll gain experience and it will be so much easier to sign more clients. But how do you stand out from the sea of applicants all competing for the same virtual position? Today’s conversation will provide valuable insight into the hiring process and how to make sure you move on to the next phase. Email Marketer Allea Grummert, owner of Duett, recently hired several contractors for her growing email marketing agency and reached out to me with her insights. She was shocked at how many people didn’t follow through with directions. She wondered if she was doing something wrong especially when it came to her test simple project and what the freelancer culture was really like. After messaging each other, we decided that every single virtual assistant, marketing assistant, and service provider needs to hear this conversation. Here’s what to do … and what not to do.  Also, take note of how she upleveled one of her own and what this virtual assistant did to get promoted.

Have you heard the advice that it takes 2 things to grow a business: time and money? You have to have a combination of both as fuel to a business. You can use money to speed things up and save you time.    Well as digital service freelancers, we kinda get out of the “have to have money” to start paradox. As virtual assistants, there’s a very low startup cost for us because we’re using our brains to create and do the work. Instead of money though, we need hard skills.    Skills can speed up what we charge and the time in grade it takes to be successful. But there’s one other thing that is pure gasoline to your freelance business: your network.   If you get these two things in place: you will grow 10x.   (And not make the same mistakes I did for years.)   This episode dives deeper into these two growth factors and shows you the winner’s path to running a profitable, successful freelance business.

Only 30 months ago, she didn’t know tech. She didn’t know marketing. She wasn’t even “on” social media. She had never freelanced. And yet here Allison Riesgaard is now working full-time in a 7-figure business as the right-hand woman, content manager and team manager. How’d she do it? What can you learn from her story? If you’ve been the central caregiver in your family, if you had to sacrifice your career as a military spouse, if you’ve been wanting to turn your brain on again... this freelancer journey episode is for you. Pay attention. Allison has so much advice and encouragement to share. I have been trying to get this introvert & business sidekick phenom on my show for two years. And she finally said yes. So this episode is a massive deal.

With zero prior experience and total apprehension, worked her way up from virtual assistant to manager level.  Allison’s decision to take the Unicorn Digital Marketing Assistant School has given her family increased financial stability, schedule freedom and unimagined personal growth.

I get asked these questions all the time:  Where can I find clients? How do I find clients?  And the answer is so simple, and it's what I tell my students in my Unicorn Digital Marketing Assistant School to use all the time.  We live in a self-centered world where everyone is posting pictures on social media. It’s all about how things look. Everyone is telling the world about what they can do and how cool their lives are. Sometimes it seems like every single person is doing the same thing. Not only in life, but also at work. You feel you can’t stand out, but there’s something you can do to change that. Ask this one question to help you stand out above all the competition whether you’re a new digital marketing assistant or already have one client.  Add in your current skillset, sweet spot, and the right magical words - you’re on the way to success.   You’ll want to take notes as I give you the easiest way to get attention and share 2 bonus questions to use specifically for those who already have a client or two and want to add more quickly.   Podcast episodes mentioned in this episode: Episode #111: How to Get Noticed in FB Groups as a Virtual Assistant Episode #127: How She Quit Her 9-5   Connect with Emily: Facebook Community: Emily’s Unicorn Digital Marketing Assistant Lab Instagram: @emilyreaganpr  Facebook: @emilyreaganpr   3 ways we can work together:  Get on the waitlist for the Unicorn Digital Marketing Assistant School.

Listen to one unicorn's advice on how to set yourself up for success.  Marci Sanders is a member of my Digital Marketing Workgroup who also recently graduated from the Unicorn Digital Marketing Assistant School. She’s got a corporate background, loves to travel, and wanted a way to work remotely on her terms.  Instead of transforming her corporate skills (she wrote SOPs) into freelance work, Marci decided at age 48 to embark on a new path to achieve her goal of traveling full-time. She offered email marketing services as a side hustle to her full-time corporate job.  In this episode, Marci talks about her freelancer/business owner journey, how she got started, and how she markets herself to find more clients. She shares why even with her email marketing experience she knew she needed extra help if she wanted to go full-time remotely. That’s when she realized she needed a mentor who could help her get to that level.  Listen closely to Marci’s advice on: Finding the right mentor for you - why she picked UDMA School Advice on setting your quitting day deadline - and making it stick What she’d do differently if doing it again - learn from her mistakes Why the Digital Marketing Workgroup continues to support her success This is perfect for experienced and new DMAs who want to add to their current skillset, market to the right audience, and fast-track their path.  Enjoy!

SIGN UP FOR THE LIVE VA TRAINING & INFOSESSION! I remember when AnDréa Pettingill first sent me a DM - she was an accidental freelancer who started offering her services at a ridiculously low rate. As a nail salon business owner, she was looking for work that gave her the flexibility to be at home with her two kids. (And paid just as well as her high-end nail services.) This is Dréa’s freelancer start-up story; it’s packed full of advice about starting something new and being ok having multiple passions …and even switching up businesses. Since taking the Unicorn Digital Marketing Assistant School, she has more than doubled her rates, and already hit her starting income goal and paid off her initial investment. The cool thing? It’s up from here. If you can take action like Dréa did you can be building something bigger than your expectations. You just don’t know until you start.  Listen for Dréa’s advice on raising your rates, and how to go above and beyond for your clients (and why that will pay off in more ways in the long run). Enjoy!

I hate to break it to you, but your dream freelance clients are not on Fiverr or Upwork — whether you’re just starting out or already a seasoned specialist. There’s a time and place for the gigs and extra projects, but these platforms make it really hard to find investment-minded clients who are willing to pay you the true worth of your services in the long term of your marketing assistant business. If you really want to distinguish yourself and bring in the recurring paychecks, I’ll tell you what to do instead.    Enjoy!   Podcast Episodes Mentioned: Episode 111 - How to Get Noticed in FB Groups as a Virtual Assistant  Episode 7 - Where do I Find Virtual Assistant Clients?   Links Mentioned: Save your Seat for the How to Become a VA Infosession - Live & Free - Thursday, Sept. 29 at 1pm EST Get on the Waitlist for the Pricing Workshop - Coming in October   Connect with Emily: Facebook Community: Emily’s Unicorn Digital Marketing Assistant Lab Instagram: @emilyreaganpr  Facebook: @emilyreaganpr   3 ways we can work together:  Get on the waitlist for the Unicorn Digital Marketing Assistant School.

As freelancers, it’s inevitable that we are going to reach some kind of client burnout. There are only so many hours in a day and there is only one of us. (Plus a lot of us struggle with people-pleasing and healthy boundaries that only add fuel to the burnout fire.)  The best way to mitigate this is to take your 1:1 services and find out how to help MORE people by working less. Something scalable. That’s why all freelancers should consider building a digital course using our in-the-trenches expertise and knowledge. This diversifies our income streams, gives us options and so much more.  My guest today Amy Porterfield did the same thing. Early on in her freelance business she said YES to all the client work and learned very quickly that if she was going to remove her income earning cap and gain more lifestyle freedom, she needed to go all in with her courses. Today, Amy is a multi 7-figure business owner with a top-ranked business podcast and soon-to-be published author, founder of Digital Course Academy and my mentor. She’s sharing her freelancer journey and how she came to be and her hard-earned launch lessons that you can learn from second-hand. But most importantly, Amy’s sharing her best tips for freelancers to organize their ideas, own their expertise and build a digital course that will give them more freedom. Listen up freelancers, VAs and DMAs, today we’re talking about: How to know if you’re ready for a course  How to launch the right way Why live launching is a rite of passage What to do now to set yourself up for a course How to get out of the headtrash that keeps you stuck  Why you should learn courses and launches as a freelancer And lightbulb moment: how to make it through the rough patch of straddling client work and trying to build a course … while being short on time. And her #1 tip to still make money during this phase!   Be sure to sign up for her Course Confident Bootcamp and use my affiliate link if you decide to go all in with a course and learn from Amy.

We had a $75k launch of the Unicorn Digital Marketing Assistant School this spring. An amazing number when you realize I had zero on my email list, social media, and website traffic just 3.5 years ago. It’s been a wild ride of ups and downs, numerous lessons learned and proud moments. In today’s episode, I’d like to walk you through my digital course journey and share 4 tips for building and launching a digital course. All so you can use this first-hand insight for your own freelance business or with your client work. We’ll talk about: audience building, pricing, course creation, and one mental mindset that really held me back. And most importantly: what I’d do differently if I were starting over with this whole course thing. It’s a very transparent and real conversation and I’m glad you’re here for it. Then stay tuned for the very next episode … Amy Porterfield will be sharing her freelancer start-up story and her best tips for adding a digital course to your freelancer revenue stream.  Links I mentioned: Download Amy Porterfield’s *FREE* “What’s Your Things?”* List Builder’s Society* Unicorn Digital Marketing Assistant School (get on the waitlist for October) *Affiliate links, if you purchase anything I could earn a small commission.

When you start working as a virtual assistant sometimes it is hard to know where to find the right clients and what you can do to get noticed. One great source to do this is Facebook groups. There are Facebook groups where your clients are hanging out, you just need to find them and connect with them. In this episode, I’ll show you how you can show up as yourself and know what to say in these groups to get noticed without being too spammy, desperate, or annoying. Let me be your motivator today to get active in Facebook groups, even though it might seem like some of them are not working. There's also a lot of Facebook groups that are working right now, the ones where people are coming together to purposefully hire each other. I think those Facebook groups are the biggest ones to go in.  I do share a list of Facebook groups with my students to help them get started. And then what's nice is we can go tag each other in some of these because we know which ones are working. So if you're interested, the Unicorn Digital Marketing Assistant School will open again in October. Links I mentioned: Quiz: What kind of VA should you be?

It’s hard to know what services to start offering in your new business … or even where to niche down when you’ve got it going. Especially when the online space is distracting with what everyone else is doing. Strengths Coach Anna Nelson and I agree that you need to lean into your own uniqueness first. Being aware of your own God-given talents and strengths is the start line. Through 1:1 coaching and team workshops, Anna helps online entrepreneurs scale their business by looking inward first and outward second. She uses the Gallup CliftonStrengths Assessment to gain research-based data on her clients’ 34 strengths and weaknesses. In this episode, she’ll explain why this is a must for every entrepreneur plus how to apply this knowledge in your business, your services, long-term plan … and in your client relationships. There is so much power when you have self-awareness, ability and (backing) to express it, and confidence to show up in discovery calls armed with why you will be the next stand-out hire. Enjoy!

This week we’re talking money with Chelsea Brennan of Smart Money Mamas.  Giving up a lucrative career as a hedge fund manager, Chelsea pursued a passion project after realizing many women were naive about finances, especially long term goals and strategies. That’s why Chelsea started Smart Money Mamas, to help women feel confident about dealing with their family’s finances.  As Chelsea explains, “Having some sense of what’s happening with your finances, where your money is going, what your credit score is, offers that mental sense of security so you can do more.” Today, Chelsea is going to discuss our business owner money mindset. As freelancers, we have to understand our business finances in order to create plans for success, but more importantly, we must recognize our money beliefs - what’s propelling us forward and what’s holding us back.  Changing old money habits and creating new ones isn’t as easy as saying a new mantra. You first have to dig a little deeper and find out why you are holding on to this old belief.  Chelsea has several great tips and techniques to help you achieve this and how to start new habits around money. I picked up some great information and think you will too.    Enjoy!   Connect with CHELSEA: Instagram: @smartmoneymamas Facebook:@smartmoneymamas Grab her free Meaningful Money Guide >> https://smartmoneymamas.com/meaningful-money-goal-worksheet/ (this is what I call her SOP for Life).    Connect with Emily: Facebook Community: Emily’s Unicorn Digital Marketing Assistant Lab Instagram: @emilyreaganpr  Facebook: @emilyreaganpr   3 ways we can work together:  Get on the waitlist for the Unicorn Digital Marketing Assistant School.  My signature course on digital marketing implementation will give you the confidence and teach you HOW to do the work that’s in demand and highly marketable.

What is it really like to work as a virtual executive assistant? Kiri Mohan shares her startup story, how she pivoted into EA-VA work, where she found her first clients, and what her service packages look like. If you have administrative experience, this episode is totally for you! I love this niche because she serves high-level executives and offers various levels of support that fit her lifestyle too. Kiri began working as an assistant when she was 15 years old, gradually shifting to a corporate executive assistant, and finally running her own successful virtual assistant company. Clients would often reach out in need of VA services and after a while, Kiri was able to figure out which client actually needed a VA and which ones only thought they needed a VA.  It turns out, quite a few of her clients just needed an organized flow to the administrative side of their business. Source Your Systems began as a side business, helping those that needed to set up and implement the operational part of their dream, and then became something so much larger.  I hope you enjoy!   Connect with Kiri: Instagram: @virtuallykiri https://www.dependableva.com/ https://sourceyoursystems.com    Connect with Emily: Facebook Community: Emily’s Unicorn Digital Marketing Assistant Lab Instagram: @emilyreaganpr  Facebook: @emilyreaganpr   3 ways we can work together:  Get on the waitlist for the Unicorn Digital Marketing Assistant School.  My signature course on digital marketing implementation will give you the confidence and teach you HOW to do the work that’s in demand and highly marketable.

Underpaid?  When I started freelancing in 2009 I was charging $10 an hour. I didn’t know any better and I didn’t have any mentors to advise me. I’m not proud of that wage, but over time things changed. Now I’m charging my worth while I work with the clients I love. In this episode I’ll tell you how I went from an underpaid VA to a digital unicorn, and how you can avoid that same pitfall. I started working online after leaving my dream job and having my first child. We moved a lot due to my husband’s military career, and I knew I needed something that I could do from home and take with me.  I started working with a small business owner, remotely helping them with their presence online. I enjoyed the work and started taking on more clients. I became that accidental freelancer who realizes, this is a real job that can pay well.     Since I didn’t have anyone to ask questions or guide me, I just figured it out along the way…hence the low beginning prices. I’m not gonna lie. It was tough at first. If I had had someone whispering in my ear, “do it this way, Emily,” I would have raised my prices long, long ago as my confidence and skillset grew.  But that’s okay. The whole experience got me to where I’m today. And now I’m sharing what steps you’ll want to take to avoid my mistakes. I want you armed with the knowledge so you can have a profitable business much sooner.   Chelsea Brennan’s video I mention in this podcast: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jWCq3kuwa84   Connect with Emily: Facebook Community: Emily’s Unicorn Digital Marketing Assistant Lab Instagram: @emilyreaganpr  Facebook: @emilyreaganpr   3 ways we can work together:  Get on the waitlist for the Unicorn Digital Marketing Assistant School.  My signature course on digital marketing implementation will give you the confidence and teach you HOW to do the work that’s in demand and highly marketable.

Keri McDonnell is one of my students who worked in corporate for many years before relocating to follow her husband’s career and then starting a dog grooming business. After 10 years she had to move again and leave her established clientele. Since Keri’s passion is helping others, she wanted to find something online where she could relocate when her husband had to  and take her clients with her.    That’s when she saw my ad. She did her research, watched my webinar, and then decided to jump into my unicorn digital marketing world. Keri understood being a solopreneur and wanted to help business owners behind the scenes to achieve their goals.    Keri found her first client after a week of starting the course. Despite her fear of not being techy enough, Keri jumped in and gave it a try. Her commitment to herself and dedication to doing her best helped her advance quickly. Now Keri is booked out helping small business owners with social media, launch support, and project management.    But it wasn’t without challenges. Keri's doubts almost stopped her before she got started, but readily admits my course gave her the foundation she needed to work as a unicorn digital marketer. The course got her up to speed and gave her the confidence she needed. She’s also very thankful for having an amazing network inside the student group and later the Digital Marketing Workgroup to help her succeed.    If you’ve got doubts about whether you can do this type of work, listen to Keri’s story and then go back to episode #100 to hear Natasha’s story.

Natasha is one of my course alumni. I had invited her to join my beta group because I saw her potential. I knew she could succeed at digital marketing even though she didn’t have any experience. She didn’t see the potential in herself and passed on the invite. When the second launch came around she took a leap of faith, in herself, and joined the class.  Nearly all of us can relate to what Natasha shares about her journey. You’ll hear her joys and struggles as she finished the course and started taking on clients. It’s not always a bed of roses for us digital marketers, but if you focus on your end goal, like Natasha did, you’ll make it through the challenges and grow your confidence.    Ready to take your skillset to the online space, create packages and position yourself to be a self-employed freelancer?

In the online space you have to be careful about watching others and thinking that’s what you need to be doing. A digital marketing services or virtual assistant business has a very low start-up cost. But then you start hearing the stories and seeing the fancy tools, and you might start second guessing yourself. Don’t let it stop you! In reality, you don’t have to have all of these “things” to be able to start your business. I see mega VA courses selling the idea of perfect workflows, systems, project management tools, websites. But who will hire you if you can’t do the work or know what you’re doing? It starts there. And these three things we’re talking about today…. They can all happen later with time. Drop them. It’s not your priority. Ready to take your skillset to the online space, create packages and position yourself to be a self-employed freelancer?

“I needed something that didn’t center around my kids,” said Britteney Barber who is a mom of three, Space Force spouse, and former elementary school teacher. She loved volunteering with MOPS (Mothers of Preschoolers) so much she stayed in leadership positions for a decade. The volunteer work made her a better mom, wife, and friend. (Moms, I know you get this) It gave her a sense of purpose and kept her brain out of mom fog. She desired to keep doing the same work but wanted to get paid for it when her kids all went to school. That’s when Britteney found me and my digital marketing course and started her new freelance business. She was looking for a part-time job that: allowed her to be a mom first, moved with her in the military lifestyle, and gave her all the flexibility.  Her business took off, she found her golden ring client, and the virtual work that met her checklist of requirements to be her dream job.  In this episode, Britteney shares her advice for getting hired, standing out in Facebook groups, working virtually, and finding those first clients… plus what’s not-so-special about her and where she credits all of her self-employed success.    Links Britteney Mentioned: The Podcast Episode Britteney’s mom referred to was Tammy Cannon’s Multi-Passionate Entrepreneur Podcast.

Claudia Bretz is all too familiar with the problems of trying to find meaningful work as an over-qualified, over-educated Army spouse. She went to school for industrial engineering in her home country of Nicaragua before starting over in the U.S., got her MBA and was always starting at the bottom of the totem pole with work.Two years ago, Claudia was caught in a transition between being unemployed, waiting out the kids last semester of school, retiring and moving (and living on a boat in the Florida Keys) when she decided to give the online work a go.She signed up for the Unicorn Digital Marketing Assistant School, formerly known as the Digital Media VA Crash Course,  and was dedicated to completing every lesson and teaching herself.  And she just never went back to the office. She went from a $14/hr job to $35/hr working in half the time.  Here’s her start-up story, what she’s learned as a new digital marketing assistant, and how she started doing the work and niched down. She shares advice when working with new clients, what her Pinterest and project management work really looks like, and the evolution from assistant to strategist. I hope you walk away inspired, informed, and motivated to start your own unicorn digital marketing business.

Want to start a virtual assistant business but afraid the cost will set you back?  Good news: starting a virtual assistant business doesn’t require investing a ton of cash in the very beginning. There is a super low start-up cost and barrier to entry. And you can easily make your money back if you have the marketable skills and ability to perform the client work.  I’m all about doing things as inexpensively as possible until you start to book out with clients and can make back the cost of software, etc. You can get by with the bare minimums and use free or low cost versions of online programs.  In today’s episode I’ll share what I started with and some I still use today because I don’t believe in throwing money away for unnecessary items.  So don’t let $$ hold you back from starting your new career.

I built my business on being a unicorn, a virtual assistant who can perform a variety of tasks for online business owners aka “can do'' attitude. When someone asked me to do a new - to me - task, I always said yes because I knew I could enhance my skillset and because I love to do new things. I teach my students the same philosophy. Get your foot in the door with one task and offer to help in others.  There does come a time when my students or any newer virtual assistants start to gravitate towards certain areas of interest more than others and that’s when they think about specializing in niches. They’ve tried a variety of things and now know where their passion and strengths lie.  Although it’s smart to focus on doing work you enjoy, it also makes sense to find a niche that is in demand. I’ve found there are 10 areas or niches that are consistently in demand and command higher prices.  If you’re ready to niche down, then check out my list. Some of these may surprise you!     APPLY FOR THE DIGITAL MARKETING WORKGROUP >> https://courses.emilyreaganpr.com/vaworkgroup  This is a referral community for freelance digital marketing service providers.

Tamara is a Marine wife, mother of three, crafter and businesswoman with a six-figure business called Southern A-Door-nments Decor I love her story so! She started her door hanger business while her husband was on deployment in Afghanistan with paint parties and has grown to a membership model with 1,000 members. We're going to talk about her biz journey, her team of 11 members (including a few of my own unicorns) and how she communicates with them (or how she'd rather just paint the pretty things!) and insight to the tactics that helped her get there. (AKA strategies you'll want to share with your own clients or use in your own business) "The moment that I decided to focus on community and worry less about the competition, to put on blinders, so to speak, and only looked at the path I was going on, things changed for me." This is going to be a fun lesson from a fellow biz owner and you're going to walk away wanting to paint too! I've been so happy to watch her success over the years!!

This is the story of how Amanda Arthur Krill paid off $64k in credit card debt in two years (without becoming a stripper.) Her story is very similar to mine, because I did not work as a stripper either. Amanda started working as a virtual assistant/ jack of all trades and somehow linked up with the up-and-coming Marie Forleo, who kept asking her to do more. So non-pole-dancing Amanda said YES and figured things out all things tech along the way. Now she designs websites and landing pages for clients. And, I'm pretty sure, no stripping involved.

Your lighting, your confidence, your delivery and your looks... they all matter in that first impression and the rates you command. For some of us, we haven't had to slip on a jacket in years!

Pinterest is a powerhouse for business -- it's free AND it brings website traffic with high-quality leads who are looking for your clients' content! Back in 2013, I didn't get Pinterest as a user. It wasn't something I wanted to play on. But I discovered the power of Pinterest Marketing when I was building and designing a media kit for Jennifer Allwood. I was setting up Google Analytics and noticed traffic coming from it. It was a fluke fest. People were finding her and sharing her content What if we used Pinterest on purpose? Long story short, my business exploded because I taught myself Pinterest marketing. It's been one of my most-requested tasks because biz owners need to get Pinterest off their plate. And 8 years later, there's still soooo much work here. I think half our job leads have a Pinterest request!

Several months ago I had one of my all-star students (Whitney) in the group sharing her experience working as an assistant for a real estate agent. She was doing a mix of administrative duties, real estate specific tasks all while using her digital media skills. A true unicorn of talent! Her interview had the most views.

Today, I’m sharing open and honest advice that no one really talks about in this freelancer world: knowing when it’s time to walk away from a client. Even if you love the client, the work, the money... it can be hard to make that decision.  Here’s five questions to ask yourself so you’ll know if it’s time to quit. I coached a fellow virtual assistant through this process of deciding to quit a client. It was really helpful to narrow down the client work, the client and team, the opportunities to focus on whether it was right for her to stay or not.    I need this advice myself over the years. These questions would have made it so clear-cut and obvious when most of my client relationships needed to end.     Learn with me: Gif & Sticker Making Workshop - $17.99 crash course to turn your clients into a gif!  The Quickstart to Facebook Community Management - the unicorn gateway job to digital media work in just 2 hours   The Unicorn Digital Marketing Assistant School Apply for the Digital Marketing Workgroup   Connect with Me: The Digital Media VA Lab - a free FB community  Instagram: @emilyreaganpr   Facebook: @emilyreaganpr     >>> Download my Top Ten Most Requested Digital Media Tasks & Services    >>> Take the Quiz to Discover your Digital Dream Job   

We all know that clients sometimes need a little more help than sending an email out every week or formatting a keyword-rich blog. Sometimes behind the scenes of their business is a bit of a mess.

As a certified online business manager and director of operations, Ange helps online entrepreneurs grow and scale their business by streamlining their systems and figuring out where to put their efforts. She offers strategy sessions, biz audits and packages of ongoing services.

I find it so inspiring to hear how other freelancers got started and found their niche. Today I’m chatting with award-winning podcaster Jen Amos about her journey in this online service world.  Jen is a military child and Gold Star daughter who never found a traditional 9-5 job attractive. She told me recently, "If it weren't for the internet I wouldn't have been able to work from home for the last decade." Thank goodness for the Internet! Jen started running her own social media and online business consulting agency in San Diego. It’s really fun to hear how she started, what the work really looked like because for many of my unicorn students become social media managers. She gives solid insight to the client work, social media calendars, batching and how she raised her prices.  After a coast-to-coast move, Jen pivoted to hosting and producing her own podcast. We even discuss the backside of her business including how she found her VA and why she hired her. You’re going to find her so inspiring! Enjoy.

It’s not all unicorns and rainbows when you first start your freelance business. It takes time to develop your services, your clients and your pricing. It’s an ever-evolving process and is absolutely NOT a get rich quick scheme. But have faith, eventually you get there!   It helps to have end goals. Whether you want to own your own agency, have scalable digital products or be the go-to expert in your field who brings in the 5-figure (or more) contracts. But most importantly, you’ll need to start moving away from the hourly rates.   Today’s episode we’ll uncover four other freelance business pricing models so you can have a direction with your services and don’t have to be charging by the hour forever!    PS If you want to learn more about day rates, please check out Sarah Masci’s free masterclass: The Life Changing Magic of Day Rate. Sign up here. Even if you’re just starting out it, good to know where you want to take your freelancer business and ultimately get away from hourly rates.  Learn with me: Gif & Sticker Making Workshop - $17.99 crash course to turn your clients into a gif!   The Quickstart to Facebook Community Management - the unicorn gateway job to digital media work in just 2 hours   The Unicorn Digital Marketing Assistant School   Apply for the Digital Marketing Workgroup   Connect with Me: The Digital Media VA Lab - a free FB community  Instagram: @emilyreaganpr   Facebook: @emilyreaganpr     >>> Download my Top Ten Most Requested Digital Media Tasks & Services    >>> Take the Quiz to Discover your Digital Dream Job

Admit it, I know you've taken a quiz online (probably over on Buzzfeed) that was a total time suck and delivered awful results. Maybe you even quit in the middle of it due to boredom. Writing a converting quiz is NOT as easy as it may look. (It took me a few weeks to write mine!!) There's a reason copywriters charge 5k for a well-written quiz that brings in leads and sales for their clients. Yes, I said 5k!!! So I've invited Chanti Zak (the chef from episode 34) back to our group to share with us her proven framework for writing a good quiz. She's done this for the bigwigs and last fall she helped me and a handful of other go-getters learn quizzes ... the RIGHT WAY. She's going to teach YOU the 5 things you have to have to make your quiz a winner. Don't even attempt to write a quiz until you get her insight.   To learn more about her online program Grow with Quizzes, please check out her program --> https://chantizak.mykajabi.com/a/39138/u9uFLfKH Her course is open now and closes Dec 2nd, and in full disclosure I'm an affiliate and former student.

You're not going to jail, but why does anything that have to do with the law seem so scary when you’re in business? Because we don’t want to screw things up, short ourselves on getting paid and end up doing work we never intended to do. For the independent contractor, this is why the contract that makes us so squeamish. But I don’t want this to stop you! Contracts are so important. They protect us, our work and make sure we’re getting paid. But they’re also a work-in-progress. You’ll get better with your terms and scope of responsibilities as you work with different client personalities and discover what you will and won’t put up with.  To piggyback off the last episode with a tax and legal expert, I wanted to share with you contract tips to help you write the best one for YOUR business, whether you do monthly retailers, ongoing services or per project work. Contracts don’t have to be perfect, they are a refinement process.  Go ahead and download my contract checklist to help you get started: emilyreaganpr.com/contract Links Mentioned: If the legal and tax stuff is keeping you stuck or you've already grown your business and ready to fix it and make it legit, look into Braden Drake's program. Braden the legal tax expert from Episode 37 who can help you sort everything out in a group coaching program and deliver solid lessons on contracts. This is ideal for the service provider who is scaling with an agency and subcontractors and/or taking on high-end clients for larger fees or sensitive parts of their business.

Over the last 10 years in freelancing, I have found that writing in the clients' voice is one of the hardest things to do. It’s hard when it’s a new working relationship, you have to learn everything about them in a quick amount of time and capture their voice so that no one can tell it’s NOT them actually writing their social posts, emails and blogs.  Well this episode should give you confidence! I’ve invited Justin Blackman, from Pretty Fly Copywriting, to share his startup story about how he began copywriting and niched down to writing brand voice guides. He’s helped some pretty high level entrepreneurs, like Amy Porterfield, Stu McClaren and Tarzan Kay, training their teams and new writers to mimic their voice.

When I first heard Chanti Zak on a podcast I knew I needed to learn from her and find a way to get in her network. She combines two things I love: Email list building & Writing. She does it so friggin' well. I immediately joined her quiz writing course the second it opened up last fall. It was an intense course that walked me through every step of the copywriting process. It took me a bit longer than I would have liked, she helped me tweak and get my quiz to the world. Most importantly Chanti encouraged me every step of the way. I think we all need someone like her in our lives, someone who gets what we are trying to do online and can be a cheerleader, even if they are on the other side of the country! Chanti has written copy and quiz funnels for 7-figure entrepreneurs and I am dying to know how she got started, how she niched down and where she's going with her talent. You're going to be surprised what her background is in!!! And then totally inspired to own what you're good at and make it your freelance business.

I've asked my friend Lauren Chante, milspouse, mompreneur business woman and fitness & nutrition coach of Lauren Chante to give us insight on virtual assistant internships. She’s hired quite a few of my Crash Course students to work with her and learn the ins and outs of digital marketing.  It's always nice to talk to other business owners to find out who they are looking to hire, what they expect you to know, and how you can learn the most from the job. But I also want you to make sure you're picking the right internships to gain experience and set yourself up for success. This is a great area to explore if you have no job experience! We'll also talk about doing free work for a reference and how this differs from an internship.

I've invited my very smart and extremely organized friend & business consultant Kristen Westcott from Kristen Westcott Media to share her presentation about the systems business owners need to have in place before they hire. I wanted to name this event: what to tell your new #hotmess #scatterbrained #visionary clients to do when they think they are finally ready to hire you... LOL You all know what I'm talking about! Tons of business owners come to me knowing they need to hire but they're not sure what to do first so they're actually ready AND so they have enough work for their new hire. (Who is hopefully a unicorn VA!) Well, Kristen has the answers! Kristen helps biz owners get organized and is referring my own unicorn digital marketing assistants to her clients! So pay attention.... because the biz owner wants you up to speed and being so much more than "just a VA".   Her training is going to help you see in discovery calls which clients are truly ready to hire on and which ones may need to get their ducks in a row first.  And knowing this insider knowledge will help you guide them through this process too (If they're not already working with Kirsten!)   Her formal presentation to biz owners is called: How to Start Getting Your Systems in Place (Even if You're Not Ready to Hire a VA) -- and we are going to learn a lot from the VA side of things!   Connect with Kristen: Instagram: @kristen.westcott Facebook: @kristenwestcottmedia\ https://kristenwestcottmedia.com/ Learn with me: Gif & Sticker Making Workshop - $17.99 crash course to turn your clients into a gif!   The Quickstart to Facebook Community Management the unicorn gateway job to digital media work in just 2 hours  The Unicorn Digital Marketing Assistant School Apply for the Digital Marketing Workgroup   Connect with Me: Facebook Community: Emily's Unicorn Digital Marketing Lab Instagram: @emilyreaganpr Facebook: @emilyreaganpr   >>> Download my Top Ten Most Requested Digital Media Tasks & Services  >>> Take the Quiz to Discover your Digital Dream Job  

I would say about 85% of the job ops that come across my inbox are for social media help. So many online business owners need assistance with creating posts, scheduling content and performing engagement tactics. It takes a lot of effort, planning, creativity and man hours to keep a social media account going. It’s a content hamster wheel of work that never ever goes away. The good news is there is PLENTY Of work out there. The downside is that it’s such a personal part of a business so it can be extremely difficult to get it right for clients. This episode is a little rant about the pitfalls of managing Facebook or Instagram for clients. I have a feeling you’ll enjoy commiserating with me. But I also have 10 things to help set yourself up for success with your next client who requires your social media skills. Enjoy!

As you know, social media is one big part of what online business owners need help delegating ... most of us are familiar with Facebook. My very first retainer client hired me to take over his Facebook Business Page. I have to admit I did not know what I was doing at the time. I figured things out, made it work, watched some stats, helped promote them but it wasn't until I took Rachel Miller of Moolah Marketer Grow your Audience course (formerly called Moolah) that I had any confidence and explanation of what I was doing for clients.   Rachel blew me away because there is a whole other side to Facebook when using the platform for business & marketing!!   There are words you SHOULD NOT use. There are posts that are BETTER for the algorithm. There are other FB tactics that are not just "posting" content. There are important stats to pay attention to.   Rachel blew me away with her tech insight. In our interview, she is going to teach us what Facebook looks behind the scenes for VA, tips to help your clients, mistakes that VAs make and what she looks for when hiring for her own team.   She is the queen of Facebook. You are going to LOVE LOVE LOVE her.   Connect with Rachel Miller:  Facebook: @moolahMarketer Rachel’s Course: Grow Your Audience* (I am an affiliate partner for Rachel’s fabulous Facebook course.
