    Ep. 40: Podcast Management 101 for Virtual Assistants

    Ready to transform your existing skills into a profitable virtual assistant business? Join Laura Nicole’s upcoming Discover Your Superstar VA Skills four-day workshop where she’ll show you what services to offer based on your existing skills! __________________________________________ Podcasting has exploded as a visibility tool for online business owners - but what most people don’t see is how much work happens after the record button turns off. Behind every episode is a repeatable system of tasks that clients don’t want to manage themselves… and that’s where virtual assistants come in. In this episode, Laura Nicole pulls back the curtain on podcast management as a VA service. She breaks down what podcast support actually looks like, what you would (and wouldn’t) be responsible for, and why you don’t need to be tech-savvy or experienced in podcasting to offer this service confidently.  If you enjoy structure, checklists, and behind-the-scenes work, this episode will help you decide if podcast management could be a natural fit for you to offer. In this episode, Laura Nicole will discuss: • What podcast management really looks like behind the scenes • The key tasks VAs handle once an episode is recorded • Why systems, organization, and follow-through matter more than tech skills Curious what VA services align best with your strengths? Laura’s Discover Your Superstar VA Skills 4 Step Workshop helps you turn the skills you already have into services you can confidently offer. What can you expect from this podcast and future episodes? • Bite-sized episodes that give you quick, actionable insights into the Virtual Assistant industry • Learn how to build skills, boost your confidence, and create a profitable VA business Get the show notes and transcription here:  https://www.laurajtraining.com/podcast-ep40-podcast-management-101-for-virtual-assistants Find Laura on social media: Instagram: @hey.lauranicole TikTok: @hey.lauranicole Facebook: Superstar Assistant Academy Interested in earning sustainable income on YOUR terms, working as a Virtual Assistant?

Register today! __________________________________________ One of the most common doubts moms have about starting virtual assistant work isn’t about skills, it’s about time. When your days are broken into short stretches between responsibilities, it can feel unrealistic to believe those moments could ever translate into real income. In this episode, Laura Nicole breaks down why those small pockets of time are not something you need to “outgrow” before you can start earning.

If you’ve ever wondered how working 10 or 15 minutes at a time could possibly make a difference financially, this conversation will help you see your schedule and your earning potential in a whole new way. In this episode, Laura Nicole will discuss: • How pockets of time throughout your day can add up to consistent weekly income • Why you don’t need long, uninterrupted work blocks to start making money as a VA • How to realistically match your income goals with the time you already have Want help identifying your own pockets of time and turning them into income?Join Laura’s free 3-day VA Challenge (January 26–28) where she’ll guide you through mapping your schedule, using your existing skills, and seeing exactly how VA work could fit into your current routine.

    Want clients who will gladly pay your rate? The Client Magnet Methodshows you how to find and attract them fast. Grab your special podcast discount today! __________________________________________ One of the hardest truths about becoming a virtual assistant is also one of the most freeing: signing clients is a numbers game.  And when you don’t understand the numbers, it’s easy to assume something is wrong with you when you’re not signing clients as fast as you’d like to. In this episode, Laura Nicole breaks down why talking to “only” 10 or 15 potential clients isn’t a failure, it’s just not enough data yet. She explains how networking actually works, why conversion rates matter, and how understanding the math behind client signing can instantly take the emotion and self-doubt out of the process. If you’ve ever thought, “Maybe this just isn’t working for me,” this conversation will give you a much-needed mindset shift and a practical way forward. In this episode, Laura Nicole will discuss: • Why signing clients as a VA is a numbers game (and why that actually works in your favor) • What realistic conversion rates look like so you can stop taking “no’s” personally • How increasing the number of conversations you start can dramatically improve your chances of landing a client Want a simple, repeatable way to start more client conversations?
