Did you know that...


Freelance virtual assistants have more flexibility, can set their own schedules, and work from anywhere with an internet connection (hello travel girl era!)?

They have an increased income potential because they can work with multiple clients simultaneously, increase their rates as they gain experience, and work with clients around the world?
 
Are completely independent, have control over their workload, decide what kind of clients they work with, and can work in a variety of different niches?


I know because I'm one of them :)

Hi! I'm Vivian...

A few years ago, I was sitting in a 9-5 job that I hated...

All I wanted to do was quit my job to travel the world. I wanted more freedom, but I still needed to make money somehow! I started freelancing as a Blog Writer and Virtual Assistant, just for fun and to make a little extra cash on the side. A few months later, I was quitting my 9-5 desk job to go travelling around Europe. 

For the past 4 years, I've been making 6-figures a year as a freelance virtual assistant working remotely from my laptop. I've been able to build my dream life of freedom, travel as much as I want, and scaled my income faster than any 9-5 job would have allowed me to. 

I wholeheartedly believe that anyone else can do what I do. So, I built this online course to teach others who want to start on their VA journey, and to show YOU exactly how to start and scale your business the same way I did.

As seen on:

Current Students

Here's what my current students are saying!

“As someone who has taken the full VFA, there is no way anyone wouldn’t learn ABSOLUTELY everything they needed to become a successful VA with your course. And a successful VA at the very minimum. Because really with what I’ve learned I could end up “virtually” anywhere!”

Kelsey D.

“I’m almost done the course, and I’ve already lined up two discovery calls! First is on Wednesday! Was able to get these thorugh this VA Instagram I setup while still working on the course. [Two weeks later, she sent an update] Just sent my first contract!! We’re starting with some email management/ organization along with going through her client list and making a master email list for future newsletter!!”

Samantha M.

“Thank you so much for such an awesome course! Thanks to your help, I was able to book 3 clients only 8 days. This morning I woke up to my first five-star review!”

Karen T.

“Your VFA course provides so much valuable content – you really do get your money’s worth!”

Rachel L

“It's been a month since I completed your course and guess what... I landed my first client! There's so much value, knowledge and expertise in this course. There was one activity of yours that made me realize how much value I can provide as a VA and I was honestly shocked when I went through all of my work experience in the past years. Without a doubt, everyone can learn from this course. The tools, knowledge, and resources are there for you. You just need to commit and do the work. Thank you Vivian for putting this course together. No regrets with this purchase! And I'm looking forward to the day I land my 2nd and 3rd client!”

“This course gives you everything you need to get started. As someone that needs to have everything planned and feel like I know what I'm doing, this course does all that for me. It answers all of my questions and it makes you believe in yourself a little more. I love how it's not just what needs to be done but how you can turn skills that you didn't think were big into something and make you confident in it! ”

Destiny Wilson

“Ever since I found you, you've continuously given me the confidence I've needed to believe that I can take on more on the side and I'm ever so grateful for you. I hope you know how much value you give to others :') and if you haven't heard this enough, please always know you have people who's lives changed because of what you've offered/given! ”

“Before joining Vivian’s course, I was very lost on where to start. Thanks to VFA, I have gained so much clarity on how to start and how to shape and structure my business and skills. Vivian is also very responsive to my concerns and questions, and makes this journey believable and possible for anyone. Thank you, Thank you!!”

FAQs

Here are some common questions about freelancing and the course:

  • Who is Virtual Freelancer Academy for?

    If you're a SAHM and want to start a service-based business that you can run from home. If you're looking for a side gig to make extra income. If you're an office professional or someone with a 9-5 job that can be done from a computer, and you're looking to leverage those skills into a freelancing business. If you're resourceful and have taught yourself skills that could be sold as services to clients (for example, administration, social media, web design, bookkeeping). Anyone with a drive and desire to control their own time and income potential. Anyone who wants to earn a living without having to join the corporate rat race.

  • What is Freelancing? What is a Virtual Assistant?

    A freelancer is a self-employed person who is not committed to one company, one business, or one employer. Instead, you offer services to clients independently. This means that you have complete control over your earning potential, your working hours, and how much or how little work you take on. Also, you have control of how fast you grow in your career, as opposed to depending on an employer to decide when you are ready for a promotion. A Virtual Assistant is a type of freelancer that focuses on administrative or executive tasks. There are different types of virtual assistants with different specializations. For example, I am a Marketing Virtual Assistant.

  • Is this course for virtual assistants only?

    No, the strategies I teach can work for any freelancing profession including accountants & bookkeepers, social media managers, creative freelancers, office professionals, data analysis and more. I, myself, have freelanced as a virtual assistant, social media manager, blog writer, and marketing manager.

  • I have no prior freelancing or virtual assistance experience. Is this course still for me?

    Absolutely! I walk you through every step of starting your freelance business, from finding your niche, packaging your services, coming up with a price, finding and onboarding clients, running client interviews, and even moving to full time.

  • How long is the course?

    In total, there are 20+ modules, over 15 hours of video content, and tons of homework for you to do. It is self-paced and you can re-watch lessons as often as you'd like, so you can work on the course on your own schedule!

  • How long do we get access to the course?

    Forever!

  • Are there any refunds?

    As with most online courses and digital products, there are NO refunds. So, make sure to ask any questions you might have before enrolling! I've included as much information about the course curriculum on this page to help you decide whether or not this is a right fit for you. And I am always available to ask me any questions before enrolling by emailing me at [email protected].

Current Students

More from past students!

“I was 4 months postpartum when I was having anxiety about returning to work (even though I had at least 8 more months) - YAY Canadian parental leave. I came across Vivian's tiktok in August 2022 and she showed how different life could be. I've never bought any online courses before so I was hesitant to invest in it. Vivian's Virtual Freelancer Academy hit the nail with setting up the foundation. You can't skip this! You need to do a deep dive on what you are offering because if it isn't clear to you, as she mentions, it won't get the attention of your intended clients. That being said, it's also ok to just start with something and evolve from there. She does a great job at walking you through the basics and providing different additional points of view. The fact that you can interact with other students and even get feedback from her... is the cherry on top. It took me much longer than I wanted to complete the course due to the sore point of imposter syndrome but when I finally got past my fear, I went all in. It is now 2024 and I'm so grateful to be able to have the choice to stay home when I want and maximize the time with my little family. Thank you, Vivian.”

Jen P.

“I am so excited, and I wanted to share with you that your course has brought me here landing my first client in less than 2 weeks! Thank you! It was just a dream to work remotely 2 weeks ago and now it’s becoming a reality! [A week later, she sent an update] I am 2 for 2! If everyone writes proposals the way you teach us in your course, I think it might be a guarantee! I’m so excited to get the ball rolling, or that the ball is rolling! How exciting! Yay!”

Gina H.

“What I liked the most about these modules is that you are showing us some practical ways (through the use of examples) that we can set up our social media/branding, how the money and legal issues work as a freelancer, and how to use specific programs that will be especially helpful for our businesses. I also appreciated how the examples showed us exactly how we can learn a particular skill.”

Shriva P

“Vivian you have honestly inspired me to leave my profession as an educator. I bought your course about 2 weeks ago and I honestly feel so confident about the decision I’m making. This is truly a course that’s worth every penny!”

Steph G.

“Just landed my second paid client and I couldn’t have done it without the help from your course! THANK YOU!”

Ioana

“Before I even finished the course, I technically got my first client! I’m SO excited I could cry!!!”

Sailor D.

“Vivian’s course is not only super informative, but it is also well-designed, easy to understand, and very practical. I used the strategies Viv recommends and started receiving interest within a week of starting the course!”

Karen T.

“I was just offered my first VA job this morning!! I have prepared for a career in medicine the past 10 years and never imagined being able to live so freely until stumbling upon your content. So grateful for the shift you brought to my life. ”

Ready to build something of your own?


It's taken a LOT for me to go from an overworked desk-dweller to a 6-figure earning virtual assistant.
 
I tried everything from doing online surveys to dropshipping, affiliate marketing, blog writing, influencing, and more.
 
Nothing, except being a freelance virtual assistant, was profitable and easy enough to allow me to live the life of freedom I have now.


If you have zero clue on how to start, or if you've tried before and failed, or if you simply want to copy the strategies I use, that's what I'm here for ;)
