But that's why I started my business as a side hustle first to validate the concept. And that's what I'd recommend that you do as well.
Or maybe you're just looking to pull in a little extra cash into your household?
That's cool, this program can help you build a nice part-time income too!
You'll start with building a strong business foundation, selecting your primary service offerings and learn how to find and pitch prospective clients. From there we'll guide you through the process of specializing, raising your rates and scaling your business to becoming fully booked and beyond – whatever that looks like for YOU!
You'll gain access to:
We're ready to walk alongside you with additional specialized support, resources and content to help you really take your business to the next level!
You'll have:
We also provide a regular roundup of remote job opportunities we've sourced from the interwebs on your behalf.
That means...
With technology advancements and the recent changes in our world economy and workforce, businesses are more comfortable than ever working virtually.
They're open to (and in some cases prefer) hiring contractors, freelancers and the like. It saves them a crapload of money (think benefits, office space/equipment, employment taxes, etc.) and time when it comes to training new employees.
So why wouldn't the need be increasing?!
As a virtual assistant, you'll help business owners solve real challenges. At the same time, you'll be building a sustainable service-based business for yourself. 🤗
"Once I started the VA Foundations course, the fire within me was lit. The thought of having my own business, managing my own time, being my own boss and creating something I was truly passionate about kept me going while working a 9-5 job I didn't enjoy. The day I went full-time with my VA business – just 8 months after finishing the course – was one of the happiest of my life. I love working with my clients from all over the US and in all kinds of different niches, giving them valuable time and energy back for doing what they love and want to do. Thank you, Horkey HandBook, for helping me create a life where I like to go to work every single day."

"It's official! Today – 365 days ago – I joined this VA program. Year 1 was figuring out if I could create value for others and get them to pay me for my work, all while working part-time hours. Turns out, I can. 6 Clients, $29k and several new friendships later – I'm really glad I made the choice to start this journey. Thanks for sharing your story and opening doors for others Gina! #youdabest"

"Horkey HandBook was one of the main reasons I was able to leave my full-time job to become a full-time entrepreneur. They are easy to follow with step-by-step exercises to implement along the way. I was able to see that I could earn an income online and had her support for any questions that came up. I completely recommend her program to anyone who realizes the opportunity to earn income online and wants the guidance to make it happen!"
Elizabeth Neumann
"I loved this program – it was exactly what I needed to get my business launched. I have implemented what Gina has taught and within 3 months of launching, I have a FULL roster of clients and am looking to expand – I have a waitlist of clients wanting to work with me! I am very thankful to Horkey HandBook for all the hard work that they have put into their program and the updates they've provided."
Sarah Bowman
"I've been a #FullyBookedVA member since the beginning and have landed FOUR clients from the leads that have been sent out. The money I've earned has MORE than paid for my ongoing investment – it's so worth it! I enjoy my work so much and truly appreciate the flexibility VA work allows me. I'm able to do laundry and play with my kids during the day, and be a more present mom and wife."

I'M EMBARRASSED TO ASK, BUT WHAT EXACTLY IS A VA? |
VA stands for virtual assistant and basically means that you're helping someone out from afar. I.e. You have a service to offer, they are in need of your service and you make a deal to trade time (or task) for pay.
There are TONS of services that can fall under the VA or virtual assistant umbrella – services like social media, email or blog management, graphic creation, accounting... the list goes on!
I HAVE A DAY JOB – CAN I STILL BUILD A VA BUSINESS IN THE EVENINGS? |
WILL THIS PROGRAM WORK FOR ME IF I DON'T LIVE IN THE UNITED STATES? |
One thing to keep in mind though is that if you want to work with English-speaking clients, you should have a strong handle on writing, reading and speaking English too.
No matter where you live in the world, you can work with anyone – regardles of where they live!
HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO MOVE THROUGH THE PROGRAM? |
Some students have made their way through the VA Foundations course in a weekend, while for others it takes a few months. Most students are able to finish the material and begin launching their business in about a month.
The program is self-paced. As long as you are a member, you have access to wherever you are in the program, whether it's the Start, Build or Scale phase. And as you advance through the program you'll continue to have access to the VA Foundations course and the#FullyBookedVA community. So, it's really up to you!
CAN I REALLY BUILD A FULLY BOOKED VA BUSINESS? |
I get emails each week from new students sharing their successes and how they just landed their first paying gig. It makes me smile every time!
But success doesn't come without effort...
In addition to reading the material, you'll need to complete the action steps (each lesson includes at least one) and engage with the community.
And while it may seem scary at first, putting yourself out there and asking to be hired via pitching (the freelancing term for prospecting or applying for work) is what's going to get you there – you got this!
WILL YOU FIND CLIENTS FOR ME? |
Once you've completed our VA Foundations course and passed the final exam (don't worry – it's not difficult and it's designed to make sure you've grasped the course material!) you'll unlock access to these leads through the #FullyBookedVA system.
And while we'll provide you with awesome leads, it's really up to you to get out there, pitch them and land them!
We teach you all the skills you need to do this successfully in our VA Foundations course, plus you have the support of the Horkey HandBook team with live office hours and the #FullyBookedVA community to help you build your client roster.
DO I NEED A FORMAL EDUCATION TO BE A VA? |
In fact, when it comes to education, we provide you with everything you need to become a successful VA! And, once you've completed our VA Foundations course and passed your final exam, you'll become Horkey HandBook VA certified.
This little baby is a powerful way to let folks know you're legit, that you've invested the time, energy and money into yourself as a professional and that you're officially open for business!
WHAT IF I DON’T HAVE ANY SKILLS? |
That's right, you totally do, and in the VA Foundations course we walk you through exactly how to figure out what those skills are and how to turn them into a service offering to get started with – right away!
DO YOU HAVE A REFUND POLICY? |
If you don't like what you see, just ask for your money back, no questions asked!
WHAT IF I OWN OTHER HORKEY HANDBOOK COURSES? |
