I didn't understand that people just like you and I were able to build sustainable businesses helping other small business owners from afar and get paid hundreds or thousands of dollars each month in the process.
You mean I could work from anywhere in the world (in my yoga pants) if I wanted? Without having to join an MLM, sell my soul or go back to school to get another degree?
π Could this new-fangled online business schtick really work for me?
π Would it really replace my cushy and dependable salary in personal finance?
The only way I could find out was to give it a shot.
-
I started my business in May of 2014, securing my first freelance client (and paycheck) within a month and hustled to keep building it from there.
-
Within 6 months I was earning $4,000 per month on the side of my full-time job β with a baby and toddler in tow.
-
And within 8 months of looking into this online business thing, I had quit my job and left the 9-5 world behind. For good!
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!
-
Gain complete flexibility and freedom over your time?
-
Work from home β or anywhere in the world!
-
Leave a soul-sucking 9-5 job behind β for good!
-
Say sayonara to long, time-wasting commutes forever?
-
Be available for your family and kids whenever you were needed (or wanted)?
-
Stop worrying about money by bringing extra income into your household?
-
Create a secure and stable future with a sustainable, scalable business?
-
Live life on YOUR terms?

ARE IN DEMAND.
-
There has been a 95% increase in demand for VAs in the last three years?
-
The average North American virtual assistant earns $35 to $50 per hour, (with some going as low as $20 per hour and others as high as $100 per hour)?
-
A recent survey by Upwork shows 69% are happier freelancing than working in a regular office-based position?
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. π€

"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 β just 8 months after finishing the course β 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."

Return on Investment: Within 24 HOURS of joining
Average Monthly Income: $5,000+
"I wanted to THANK YOU for all of the quality leads you've made available to us via the VA Leads portion of #FBVA. I've probably hoarded a huge chunk β these contracts are likely worth 20X what I paid for the subscription!
I had a lot of hesitation joining the system initially β I already had VA experience and it cost more than a third of my income as a junior programmer, so I had to save up for a few months first. I was very close to getting my first contract signed upon enrolling, but this time I decided to work on my mindset and was able to successfully charge 5X more than I previously did β the course material on how to deal with client objections helped me to nail it!
More than that, I love what the Community it has evolved into. Sometimes I feel like I've already learned it all, but the office hours and expert interviews make me realize that I still have a loooong way to go β in a good way!"

"It's official! Today β 365 days ago β 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 β I'm really glad I made the choice to start this journey. Thanks for sharing your story and opening doors for others Gina! #youdabest"

"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 β 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 β services like social media, email or blog management, graphic creation, accounting... the list goes on!
| I HAVE A DAY JOB β CAN I STILL BUILD A VA BUSINESS IN THE EVENINGS? |
You might end up working with clients all over the world that are in completely different time zones. Two of our team members (i.e. VAs) are overseas right now, for example, and it works great!
| 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 β 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 β you got this!
| WILL YOU FIND CLIENTS FOR ME? |
We provide a steady stream of vetted leads from business owners looking to hire our graduates, as well as a regular roundup of online remote job opportunities.
Once you've completed our VA Foundations course and passed the final exam (don't worry β 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 DONβT 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 β 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? |
You'll still have lifetime access to your previous purchases under the Thinkific platform (i.e. you log in as you always have), regardless of your #FullyBookedVA membership status.
We'd love for you to join us over here too β it's completely optional, however, and dependent on the goals that you have for your VA business.
If you've already completed our flagship VA course, previously known as 30 Days or Less to Virtual Assistant Success, you don't have to start over (although you certainly can!). The material has been revised and we've updated, added to and in some cases removed lessons that were no longer helpful.
You're more than welcome to skip ahead to the final exam in Module 12, and as long as you take/pass it, unlock access to:
β Your official VA certification from Hokey HandBook
β Client leads (both proprietary & non-proprietarty)
β ALL of our skills courses -and-
