Teacher-Seller Virtual Assistant School

You can read more about the services I offer my clients on this page, but for a brief overview: proofreading and editing, blog post and guest post management, blog clean-up, cease and desist emails for copyright violations, scheduling pins using Tailwind, light graphics creation, and tasks specific to clients’ Teachers Pay Teachers accounts. While I consider these services to be pretty common amongst teacher-sellers’ requests, there are certainly other services that clients might ask you about. Additionally, I consider many of these services to be transferable to other niches, in the event that you later decide to leave the Teachers Pay Teachers niche or want to serve two niches simultaneously.

In my experience clients in this niche do feel more comfortable working with a VA who has a background in education. This is because they like working with someone who understands their busy schedule (if they’re still in the classroom) and who understands the demands and burdens placed upon them as educators. This is also because they feel at ease knowing they’ve hired a VA who knows what types of content are appropriate to share on social media and on Pinterest (on their behalf) and what types aren’t. No teacher-seller wants a VA sharing a blog post about gardening, for example. However, I feel that as long as you keep open lines of communication with your clients, are willing to learn about the types of content that are appropriate, and get clarification from them on their needs and expectations, it shouldn’t be an issue if you don’t have that background.

Absolutely! While this is obviously different from working in a school, you still have a knowledge about and understanding of education, which clients find desirable.

I expect that most participants in TSVAS will be like you, with no or very little background experience as a VA. My content will start from scratch with helping you lay the foundations of your business and launch it; it will just focus on this specific niche to serve. While it is possible that there may be participants who have already been working as a VA, the program will operate under the assumption that everyone is starting from square one.

I hear you, and I understand your concern. However, not everyone enrolling in my program has experience being a VA. Therefore, it’s helpful for all of us to start at the same place and proceed forward. Plus, I’m helping you get into a very specific niche, and the clients in this niche have very particular needs. Having worked with clients in the Teachers Pay Teachers community for about a year-and-a-half now, I have an intimate knowledge of what works and what doesn’t. My program teaches you about those needs and the tools that you’ll need to use in order to meet them.

I’ve designed my program to focus specifically on the Teachers Pay Teachers niche and what the clients in that niche need, generally speaking. If you are serious about becoming a VA and serving this niche, then this is the only training available that will help you learn what you need to know to serve them. Your other training programs will be great supplements to your overall skill set, but there are certain tasks that teacher-sellers request that you can’t learn in another training program.

When you purchase TSVAS, all of the content will be available right here on Thinkific in your account for this course. You will be able to work through the program at your own pace, as your schedule allows. I am always available to answer your questions by email at [email protected].

Absolutely! I’ve been working from home full-time since the fall of 2016, and I have always had several clients at a time. I’ve even had as many as 14 clients in the past. But, there are tens of thousands of teacher-sellers – some estimates say at least 50,000 teacher-seller accounts, with at least 20,000 active accounts. Every VA has different skills and interests, as well as different services to offer. Everyone has their own unique personality, as we all know, and every VA will vibe with particular clients. I’ve turned down a few clients, actually, that I didn’t feel would be a good fit for me. This is where your ideal client comes into mind, and your ideal client is not the same another VA’s. So, all of that to say…there’s plenty of business in this niche! 🙂

It will largely be up to you to learn how to use any tools you might need to use in order to complete client work. I recommend letting your clients know when you’ve never used a tool before, but I encourage you to let them know you’re willing to learn (if that’s true!) and to ask if it’s okay if you take the time to learn on their time – meaning on the time they’ve purchased from you. I had to do this a couple of times when I was first starting out, and clients were always okay with it. Otherwise, we can discuss the option of doing some additional one-on-one coaching sessions, if you feel that would be more helpful.
