The question comes up again and again: <em>What services should I offer? Should I niche down? Should I just try to learn something that\u2019s in demand?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I\u2019m going to walk you through some of the thought processes that can help you get clear on this, without giving you a one-size-fits-all answer. Because the truth is, the \u201cright type of VA\u201d looks different for everyone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And by the way, at the end of this episode, I\u2019ve got a fun resource for you that will help you figure out your VA type quickly and easily. Stick around for that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why Knowing Your VA Type Matters<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Let\u2019s talk about why this is so important.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When you\u2019re not clear on your VA type, you end up offering a mishmash of services to anyone who will pay you. That might get you some clients in the short term, but it almost always leads to stress, undercharging, and burnout.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But when you know who you are as a VA &#8211; what you do best, what lights you up, and who you serve &#8211; you stop chasing random work and start attracting clients who value what you do. You feel more confident, you market yourself with ease, and you\u2019re more likely to build a sustainable business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I know what you are going through. Who wants to turn down money? Who wants to feel limited, or like they are losing out on clients because they are looking for someone in particular? I definitely used to feel like that. I said yes to lots of people, even if I didn\u2019t like what they wanted me to do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But you know who DOES get this concept? The ones who have made the decision and changed their way of thinking \u2013 yes, like I eventually did. Because we know it\u2019s the better way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s so much more fun to work every day when you are doing what you love, working with clients who value and appreciate your experience and skills \u2013 and making good money doing it of course.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As soon as I figured out what I loved to do and who needed that service, I realized that not everyone knew how to do what I did. I honestly didn\u2019t realize that before. And everything changed. I doubled my rates, and I became booked out with a waiting list all year long.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 1: Do a Skills Inventory<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The first thing to do is take stock of what you already know. We often underestimate just how much experience we bring to the table.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Think about your previous jobs, your volunteer work, and even hobbies or passions. What kinds of tasks did you handle? Did you create spreadsheets, write content, manage schedules, or organize events?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Don\u2019t leave anything out. You might think, \u201cOh, I just answered phones, that\u2019s nothing special.\u201d But guess what? Communication skills and managing multiple conversations at once are highly valuable for VAs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>My skills inventory exercise opens a lot of eyes. Just like it opened mine when I first did it. You know how to do so many things.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You are not just whatever you did at your last job.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You are definitely not whatever you THINK clients are hiring VAs for (unless that\u2019s your specialty already).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You are not a new VA \u2013 and therefore starting out with general admin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When you lay everything out in a skills inventory, you start to see patterns. You realize you have way more to offer than you thought.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 2: Choose What You Love and Are Best At<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Now, this step is key. Just because you <em>can<\/em> do something doesn\u2019t mean you <em>should<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A lot of VAs get stuck in this trap. Maybe you can do bookkeeping. Maybe you can figure out Canva graphics. But if you don\u2019t enjoy those tasks, forcing yourself to do them every day will drain you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The sweet spot is when your skill set overlaps with your interests. Those are the services you\u2019ll not only do well, but also do happily and consistently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When you are figuring out what services to offer, it\u2019s important to think about what you do well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I didn\u2019t realize when I was getting started that I had expertise that others didn\u2019t have. I literally thought that everyone could do the things I knew how to do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It wasn\u2019t until a colleague of mine pointed out things that I did exceptionally well that she did NOT do particularly well, that I realized that I had been telling myself a lie all along.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Everyone I looked at did NOT know how to do the things I knew how to do. They had their own expertise but they needed me to be their good communicator, their organized assistant, their \u2018Columbo\u2019 to figure out the difficult stuff, their \u2018Radar\u2019 to anticipate what they needed next, their planner and executor. I had no idea until someone told me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So what do you do that you think everyone else can do? I\u2019m here to tell you, they can\u2019t. You are exceptional!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of my coaches once said \u2018The thing that comes easiest to you is what you should be charging the most for.\u2019 And I have learned to absolutely agree with that!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When you choose services you love, your energy shines through in your work. Clients notice that enthusiasm, and that\u2019s what keeps them coming back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 3: Don\u2019t Chase \u201cIn Demand\u201d Services<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This one is a biggie. Yuge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I see VAs hear that social media management, funnels, or tech support are \u201chot\u201d services, and then they run out, take a quick course, and try to sell it, even if it\u2019s not a natural fit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The problem is, clients can sense when you\u2019re not confident in a service. They can tell if your heart isn\u2019t in it. That makes marketing harder, delivery harder, and your results weaker.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In demand does not automatically mean <em>your<\/em> demand. That\u2019s a writer downer!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Yes, trends come and go. But if you build your business around skills you enjoy and excel at, you\u2019ll create longevity. You won\u2019t have to constantly reinvent yourself to keep up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I took a course once on Facebook Ads. My clients all wanted to use them and I was like \u2018yeah, I can do that, and I can charge a lot of money for them\u2019. Nope. Invested, tried, failed, tried, failed. Didn\u2019t like them, still didn\u2019t really get them, and it was a huge waste of my time, my money, my clients money.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Because when you are running Facebook Ads for someone, not only are they paying you, but they are paying Facebook (Meta) for every piece of that real estate. Ick. Ooh. I totally stopped. And I went back to offer just high level client services, and marketing services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 4: Think About the Clients You Want to Work With<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The type of VA you are is also influenced by the type of clients you want to attract.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Different industries need different types of support. For example:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Authors might need help with book launches and promotions.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Real estate agents need someone who can manage listings, coordinate showings, and handle client follow-up.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Coaches often need help with content creation, community management, or tech behind their programs.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Nonprofits may need support with grant tracking, event planning, or donor communication.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>When you picture your ideal client, think about what their day-to-day business looks like. What do they <em>need most<\/em>? And more importantly, what do you <em>want to be the one providing<\/em>?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I love to advise VAs to work with people who do something they are interested in. I often tell the story of my student who wanted to offer social media services (she had taken some training) and we were trying to figure out who her best clients were.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Through her skills inventory, she had indicated that she was a sommelier = a wine expert.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We found her clients \u2013 the small wineries near her home that desperately needed social media help to attract their guests. And that\u2019s what she did.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>See how you can make it work for you, and really stand out in your market? That\u2019s the point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She did what she was trained to do, in an industry that she had a deep interest in. She brought more enthusiasm and interest to her work every day and her clients appreciated that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 5: Look at the Bigger Picture<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Sometimes, figuring out your VA type isn\u2019t just about your current skills. It\u2019s also about where you want to go long-term.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ask yourself:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Do I want to specialize deeply in one area, like podcast management or bookkeeping?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Do I want to stay more general and support business owners with a variety of admin tasks?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Do I want to eventually move into consulting, coaching, or building a team?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The answers will influence how you position yourself today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Knowing what you want to do in the future can really help you decide what to do today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>How can your business evolve?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>My business started off as a general admin business. I loved the customer aspect of it and specialized there. Then I found the business coach industry and offered high level customer service there. I took marketing courses and helped them with marketing and then became a marketing and virtual events specialist. I eventually taught their clients how to work with a VA, and voila, started teaching the actual VAs like you. The rest is history! You can build and grow in whatever direction you want \u2013 but it will probably always be based in what you are best at or what you love to do (or it should be).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Putting It All Together<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Let&#8217;s recap:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol start=\"1\" class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Start with a skills inventory.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Narrow down to the things you love and do best.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Don\u2019t chase trends just because they\u2019re popular.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Think about your ideal clients and their needs.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Consider where you want your business to grow in the future.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>When you look at all of these pieces together, you\u2019ll start to see your VA type clearly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Do You Need Help?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Now, if you\u2019re listening and thinking, \u201cOkay, I get this, but I still don\u2019t know how to put all the pieces together\u201d. Don\u2019t worry, I\u2019ve got you covered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I created a fun and easy quiz called <em>What Type of VA Are You?<\/em> It\u2019s designed to help you identify your natural strengths and figure out how those can shape your VA business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It only takes a few minutes, and you\u2019ll walk away with results that give you clarity about the services and direction that are the best fit for <em>you<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sometimes we get wrapped up in the \u2018shoulds\u2019 instead of what we really can do. What should you do? You should do what you want, what lights you up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So after you finish listening to this episode, head over and take the quiz at <a href=\"http:\/\/yourvamentor.com\/quiz\">YourVAMentor.com\/quiz<\/a>. I can\u2019t wait to hear what type you get!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That\u2019s it for today\u2019s episode of <em>The Ridiculously Good VA Show<\/em>. Remember, the best VA business is the one that\u2019s built around your strengths, your passions, and the clients you most want to serve.
