Love it or hate it - blogging - are you doing it?

Published 10 months ago • 2 min read

Hello Reader.

Week in and week out, I am asked - do I really need to have a blog on my website?

Short answer - yes!

Well, as a VA you could be missing out on a potential relationship building opportunity, if you don’t have a blog on your website. However, I totally get that a lot of VAs shy away from having a blog, simply because they don’t know what to write about. This is something that can easily be solved though, if you keep your focus on the right reason for blogging.

A blog is about showcasing your expertise – except it isn’t!

We've been busy creating some fantastic new content on our blog, and we're excited to share it with you! Whether you're a VA looking to boost your business or simply interested in helpful tips and insights, we've got something for everyone.

We've recently published some great articles, including some specifically about blogging (perfect if you're thinking of starting one or looking for inspiration!). We've also covered other valuable topics that we think you'll find useful.

Curious? Head over to our blog to check out the latest posts: https://vatrainingacademy.co.uk/blog/​

Several of our recent articles dive into what blogging is really about (hint: it's not just about showcasing your expertise!).

Another blog is 5 ways Virtual Assistants can mitigate risk when using AI - such an important subject.

Then we have a blog about entering entering awards.

Talking of awards, have you entered this years 2025 UK VA Awards yet? https://vatrainingacademy.co.uk/va-conference-and-awards/2025-uk-va-awards/​

Happy reading!

Hi Reader Are you looking for clients for your VA business? If you are honest, what are you doing to attract those clients?

As your friendly but no-bullshit VA coach, trainer and...
