Niche virtual assistant is in high demand (and IS an excellent money injection OPPORTUNITY)
What Is a Niche Virtual Assistant?
A niche Virtual Assistant is someone who specializes in a specific industry or service. Instead of offering general admin support to everyone, a niche VA offers targeted support to a specific type of client or focuses on a specific task they do extremely well.
For example:
A Podcast VA helps with episode management, guest outreach, and publishing.
A Social Media VA focuses on planning, writing, and scheduling posts.
A Real Estate VA supports agents with listings, client follow-ups, and contracts.
A Dubsado VA helps set up and maintain workflows in Dubsado.
Business owners are looking for SOLUTIONS, NOT JUST HELP! and here is where we, niche VAs, come in!
We’re seen as experts – Clients trust VAs who specialize on something. If you’ve done email marketing for coaches before, a new coach is more likely to choose you over a general VA.
We save clients time – No need for training from scratch. We already know the tools and industry.
We can charge higher rates – Because of our skillset and efficiency, niche VAs can confidently raise their prices.
We’re easier to find – When someone searches “Pinterest VA for bloggers” or “Kajabi VA,” a niche VA stands out from the crowd. (THIS.IS.A.MAJOR.REASON)
Trying to do “everything for everyone” is exhausting. Niching down allows us to also work on tasks we actually enjoy and build a strong reputation on our world, setting us apart from general VAs.
I get this question a lot: How do I become a VA?
Start with your skills. Ask yourself:
What am I good at?
What software or tools do I love using?
Who do I enjoy helping?
What industries interest me?
Here’s the thing: we’re all specialized in something.
We each have a skill something we’re great at that could truly help someone else. That skill can be turned into a service you offer.
For me, right now, it’s website design. That’s the service I’ve been offering more than anything lately.
I have a friend whose dad passed away years ago. She learned so much from that experience—handling all the paperwork and logistics—and now she’s a VA who specializes in supporting others during that stressful stage of life.
YOU CAN DO IT! A VA is a job you can do as a full time job or just another way to generate an extra income! :)
