I've been VA-ing for 5+ years, and doing so profitably and I've never used Upwork, any job board or freelance platforms. Freelance platforms aren't the only places yo get consistent clients for your Virtual Assistant business. If you're a VA in Nigeria, I'm planning a 3-day workshop to teach you how to position yourself and find clients as a new virtual assistant. Let me know if you're interested. If I get 100 responses, I'll share the registration link!
