How to Land Your First Client as a VA (Without Cold Pitching)
When I started my VA business, the thought of cold pitching made me want to crawl under the desk. The good news? You don’t have to beg strangers in DMs to get your first client. There are better, more natural ways to connect.
3 Simple Strategies:
-
Leverage Your Current Network → Tell friends, past coworkers, or mom groups what you’re doing now. You don’t have to sell—just share, “I’m starting a Virtual Assistant business and here’s how I can help.”
-
Create a Lead Magnet → Something small (like a checklist or template) builds trust and captures emails. Once people are on your list, they’re already warm leads.
-
Show Up Consistently on One Platform → Pick Instagram, LinkedIn, or Pinterest. Share tips, behind-the-scenes, and quick wins. Consistency builds authority and trust.
Wrap Up:
Your first client doesn’t come from luck - it comes from showing up in the right places with the right systems.
