Starter Story Features Filipino Virtual Assistance Owners
Training Virtual Assistants is the primary reason why FVA exists and is always thriving. Our business has been facing many challenges, but it did not discourage us from fulfilling our mission. It was when the pandemic hit when becoming a Virtual Assistant became in demand. That’s why many transitioned to become one even if they don’t know anything about it. The FVA team then maximized and leveraged holistic efforts to make our students learn competent Virtual Assistant skills. Also, we equipped them with the right attitude and mindset for them to sustain their long-term freelancing careers.
Similarly, various entrepreneurs aspire to start a business offering virtual assistant courses online. Since then, Pat from Starter Story has reached out to us. He invited us to share the FVA’s story, from start-up to a successful FVA.
On February 4, 2021, Starter Story featured the Filipino Virtual Assistance owners. There, we shared the small beginning and the “deepest whys” of FVA.
What is A Starter Story
Pat Walls founded Starter Story way back on November 01, 2017. He was inspired to create a niche blog after failing his previous business. The starter story’s early stage was a bit hard, but through hard work and dedication, the stories became an inspiration to others. He launched Starter Story with three inspiring business stories from his close friends. And with his consistent efforts plus belief that he can make it, his actions are starting to reap excellent outcomes. As a result, the site reached 300,000 visitors in just one year. And through featuring a “zero to hero” journey of successful entrepreneurs, it empowers determined entrepreneurs to start their businesses. The site is also perfect for promoting any business, especially companies leveraging their digital marketing efforts.
FVA shares the beginning of training virtual assistants
Because the site aims to equip others with the needed resources and with the help of the FVA’s journey, the site developed an instant and holistic guideline to start a business- providing Virtual Assistants training.
We shared:
About the Company
FVA has been offering both online and off-line training, coaching, and workshops for different brands globally. Before, we have been training virtual assistants alone. Currently, we are now equipping freelancers, empowering marketers, and enabling businesses to become digitally savvy.
Furthermore, we shared the three arms of FVA, namely FVA Online Academy, FVA Services, and FVA Franchising.
Coming up with the idea
Due to my husband’s and my freelancing experience, we realized that our lives’ quality is improved. By looking at the “big picture,” we decided to share the blessings of freelancing. We saw the potential of freelancing in alleviating poverty. And with the benefit of working at the comfort of our homes, we foresee that no more Filipinos will go abroad to earn a living. There will be unlimited opportunities for skillful individuals even not College graduates.
Building the product
We started FVA with our freelancing course. This course caters the holistic resources for students starting from “zero” knowledge. Our primary resources in building our online courses are through:
Research
Books from great authors
Podcasts from influencers
10-year freelancing experience
Growing the business
When it comes to increasing FVA, one effective strategy is to provide great value to our students. We listen to their pain points, and we offer them output-based tasks to gain skills and experience. Another one is by embracing them to our FVA family. Through that community, aspiring Virtual Assistants, marketers, and business owners will able to network. Plus, FVA always strives to produce exemplary students where we don’t stop until they land their first client.
