My Instagram DMs blow up daily with one very specific question, “How do Virtual Assistants get clients?!”

Million dollar question, right?!

There are so many ways you can go about finding clients, tons of things you can google, or groups you can join that will tell you all the things. But sometimes you feel like nothing at all is working in getting you any clients!

I don’t have any answers that will magically make you $10K a month. But I do have some tips and tricks that have worked for me.

So you want to take better photos?

Start here!

To get started with taking better photos, there really isn't anything special you need! Just a phone and a subject - whether it's your adorable kiddos, yourself, products, your home, or a beautiful landscape. Just get started!

Imposter Syndrome…that pesky little thing! All the feelings of self-doubt, not being good enough, or feeling unqualified.

How many of you have felt this? I’m assuming every single one of your raised your hand. Research From Life Goals Magazine has found that it may be present in up to 82% of the population - across all gender, ethnic, and age groups.

Outsourcing…a term a lot of people don’t truly understand but a lot of you actually use!

Does someone mow your lawn? Do you use a meal delivery service? Are you a lover of Target drive-up? Hire an accountant for your taxes each year? All of these are forms of outsourcing! It includes a lot more than you think it does! Basically anything you pay someone else to do!

You open Instagram and start scrolling through, stopping and interacting with the posts of the people you follow. Or you immediately click stories on the top and watch through those for what seems like hours of your life you just lost.

Which one are you?

Stop reading now and comment to answer! Over the years, a lot of people watch more stories than they do Instagram feed posts! Here are 4 reasons why you should use instagram stories - every single day!

A Call to Action, or CTA, is an invitation for people to engage somehow. Sometimes people need to be told exactly what to do. In social media, telling your audience what to do can drive traffic to your page, offer, blog, product, etc. Using CTAs to your advantage can help with whatever you are wanting.

Just using a CTA in your social media posts can increase engagement tremendously!⁠ Using a call to action on all your posts is greatly encouraged!

All I’ve ever known is “going” to work! So when I started working from home, I had a lot to learn. I’m generally a pretty self-motivated person, but there are definitely days where I look at my bed and just want to crawl in!

Remote work can be amazing for so many reasons! I love to take breaks when I want or need them, I can stop and throw in laundry quick or let my dogs out, and I can start as early or work as late as I want to!

Here’s what I do to make sure I stay productive and motivated to keep on trucking through the week!

"Slow Season" is different for every business! For a lot of people, it's right now after the huge holiday rush of chaos! Use this time when business might be slow to get things in order!

Keep reading to get some great ideas to focus on when things are slow. You finally have the time to get some of those things crossed off that you’ve been saying forever!

A lot of people hear the term “Virtual Assistant” and they’re like, “Whhaaaa??” and I totally get it. It’s such a new business idea that people really have no idea what things Virtual Assistants can provide! Head to some of my previous posts to catch yourself up on some terms dealing with being a VA! If you own a business and are trying to gain some time back in your day, keep reading!

People are often wondering how hiring a Virtual Assistant can benefit themselves and their business. I wanted to write a blog post about this because the possibilities of a Virtual Assistant helping you are endless, which means that the benefits are also never ending!

Remember the most important thing to note here is that there are a multitude of ways a Virtual Assistant can help you. This is completely dependent on what kind of work YOU do and what kinds of things you want to GIVE UP to have someone else do!

A Virtual Assistant (VA) is a remote assistant who offers support in your business so you can focus on other things. This can be admin support, creative services, social media help, and more.

If you own a business, you know how hard it is to keep up with everything.

I’m Tristan Bouc. It’s said like (Boats) but no one can even believe that and it’s my most asked question ever. I fill this space with my photography and virtual assistant life at Bliss + Lane.I have some insanely awesome clients in both areas, and couldn’t be luckier to call this my job.
