You’re saying you want high-ticket clients but you’re scared to speak on a podcast? Eish!

Podcasts are NOT just talks. Nope. They can be client magnets.
In this episode with Miriam Ndiritu, she explains how she built Sahara VA helping B2B experts feature on shows (yes, podcasts work as inbound lead funnels).

We talk about:

Using your past skills (transcription, writing) to master outreach.

How consistent podcasting builds visibility & trust.

Systems that help you scale your brand.

My fave quote: “No skill goes unused.” Yaani, stop underestimating yourself.

🎧 If you’re thinking about starting a podcast, or guesting on one, listen to this today.

Happy Super Friday.

3 Tools I Wish I Used Sooner as a Virtual Assistant:

↳ A proper calendar app (Not sticky notes on my wall 😅)
↳ A time tracker (because I was always undercharging!)
↳ A contract template (yaani, chasing payments isn’t fun)

3 Tools I see clients ignore but they really need:

Clear onboarding documents
A task management tool
And a working login 😅 (You can’t outsource chaos!)

Freelancing becomes smoother when tools do the heavy lifting.

What tool saved your sanity as a virtual assistant?

I didn’t know anyone could love my emails—
until one potential lead emailed me back with:
“This is one of the best cold emails I’ve ever received.”

I froze.
Then smiled like someone had just sent me a parcel from abroad.

That email?
👉🏾It was simple.
👉🏾No jargon. No big promises.
📌Just me, explaining how I could support their communication as a virtual assistant.

What they didn’t see?
– The 17 drafts before that one.
– The times I stared at Grammarly like it owed me rent.
– The moment I almost hit send…then hit delete instead.

But here’s what I’ve learned since:
– Good emails aren’t written. They’re rewritten.
– “Clear” is better than “clever.”
– Specific wins over impressive every time.

As a communication assistant, your job isn’t to wow people with fancy words.
It’s to help your client connect.

That’s what I do now:
➡I make sure the message matches the mission.
➡I make sure the inbox feels like a human wrote it, not a robot with a thesaurus.
➡I bring structure to the chaos of content.
➡And yes, I write emails that get replies.

Because when you understand communication?
You don’t just support the brand. You become part of it.

What’s the best reply you’ve ever gotten to an email? 👀
Happy Super Wednesday!

There’s a difference between looking for clients and waiting to be discovered like Rihanna at a Barbados beach.

Some VAs are just chilling.
Bio updated? Check.✔
Canva post shared? Check.✔
Now we wait for miracles.

No, fam.

That’s not client attraction.
That’s client avoidance in a wedding outfit.

People won't find you if you're hiding behind quotes and trending audios.
They'll find you when you:

✅Show what you can actually do
✅Send DMs without sounding like a call center
✅Comment on posts that your dream clients care about
✅Stop ghosting your own profile

If you want work, act like it.
Don’t just update your tools—update your mindset.

👉🏾Tag a VA bestie who’s “manifesting” but forgot the “work” part.

Happy Super Friday!

When I was about 8, I had a very rude toothache.

Yaani(I mean), that pain was not even pain, it was wicked.

My grandma took me to the “dentist.” No wait—she took me to his house first (village things 😅), and then we all headed to the hospital.

We got there and sat on this looooong bench. I’ll never forget it.

An old man was ahead of me. Eish! He was screaming like someone being attacked by bees. He kept yelling, “Help! Help! Let me go!” And they didn’t stop. They were still removing the tooth.

No anesthesia. Just vibes and pain.

Then they called my name.
❌Me, I called my mom.
❌Called my grandma.
❌Called my ancestors.

✅Nobody answered.
I swear, I saw Jesus waiting for me at the gate. 😂

I opened my mouth. One second later, BOOM!
I felt that pain shoot straight to my soul.

Since that day, no dentist can convince me about "just a little pressure."
Even if they swear they’re using technology from heaven, my mouth? It’s on lockdown.

And yes, I’ve taken my kids. I’ve watched them sit calmly and walk out smiling.
But me? I still carry that trauma like a handbag.

And you know what this taught me?

Some experiences stick. And they shape how we handle things... even in business.

That’s why some of you still fear cold pitching.
You sent one message, got ghosted, and now you think every client will hurt your feelings.

But not all clients are “that dentist.”
You just need the right words and a better method.

Happy Super Monday!

I didn’t learn podcast editing from a course.

I learned it by messing up 5 episodes, then figuring out how to fix them.

One client even ghosted me after I uploaded an episode with two minutes of silence in the middle. Eish, I wanted the ground to open.

But yaani…that taught me more than any tutorial ever could.

Here’s what I didn’t know back then:
– Editing isn’t just about cutting “uhms” and “you knows.”
– It’s about knowing what story to keep.
– It’s about pace, tone, and flow.
– It’s about making your speaker sound like the expert they already are.

Now?
I can hear a breath that’s 0.2 seconds too long.
I can fix background echo faster than a kid opens YouTube.
And I’ve managed podcasts that get speakers booked on stages, just because they sound professional.

I don’t say this to brag. I say this to tell you:
If your podcast isn’t getting the love it deserves…
…it might not be your content.
It might just need someone who knows how to shape it.

Someone who’s sat through the painful silence.
👉🏾Who’s been ghosted.
👉🏾Who’s learned the hard way.

I’ve edited 100+ episodes. But I’ll never forget the first 5 that made me want to quit.
That’s how I got this good.

Happy Super Wednesday!

I never planned to be a Virtual Assistant.

At first, I just wanted to make money online. I tried transcribing… but Eish! The accents finished me. I gave it a shot, but I struggled hard.

Then I found writing. Got trained. Landed my first client from a Facebook group and that one “yes” changed everything.

But it wasn’t until I saw the title “Virtual Assistant” that things really shifted. It felt like home.

Today, I help busy coaches, speakers, and consultants focus on what they do best—while I handle the back-end stuff.

And guess what?

I’ve packaged the exact cold emails that helped me land those first clients into something you can use too.

It’s called: The $20K Cold Pitch Vault.
It’s only $5.
Yaani, less than your lunch.

Grab it here before I change my mind.

I built this for people who want to stop watching and start getting hired.

Let’s go.

3 Things I Wish I Knew Before Starting a Podcast

Your first episode will be bad. Your second will be slightly better. Keep going.

When I started managing podcasts, I saw people quit before episode 10. Why? Because they expected instant perfection. But here’s what I wish I knew earlier:

1️⃣ Nobody cares about your audio quality if your content is fire.
People listen for value, not flawless sound. Yes, get a decent mic. No, you don’t need a $500 setup to start.

2️⃣ Your guests won’t share your podcast unless you make it easy.
Tag them. Send them promo graphics. Write a caption they can copy-paste. If you don’t promote your show, nobody else will.

3️⃣ Consistency beats creativity.
A good episode once a month won’t grow your audience. A decent episode every week will. Perfectionists struggle with this. (Ask me how I know.)

Your podcast doesn’t have to be perfect. It just has to exist.

💬 Podcasters, what’s the hardest part about staying consistent?

🎙 Want to launch or fix your podcast without the overwhelm?

4 years ago, I prepared for a whole week for a Zoom meeting that I thought would convert to a client.

(I know I've shared this before but I'll share it anyway.)

I had cold emailed this specific lead as I did with all the others. Unlike others who responded and asked for the next steps, she went straight to booking that meeting with me.

What I didn't know is that a disappointment was waiting for me like the surprise socks you get on your birthday (men understand this surprise better😜) unexpected and not what you hoped for.

As I sat there waiting for her to join the Zoom call, excitement was bubbling up like soda in a shaken bottle (If you did this as a child, you know it😅)

But then, p**f! She canceled!

It felt like being stood up on a date( don't ask me how I know this feeling😜), but worse because I had my hopes up for a big freelancing gig that could've paid my rent for the next 3 months (back then)!

Talk of a bummer!

But hey, every cloud has a silver lining, right? 👈🏿(I learned this in primary school and I've not used it ever since)😅

Here are the top lessons I learned from this whole canceled Zoom experience:

Don't count your chickens before they hatch. Just because someone books a meeting doesn't mean they're committed. Don't start planning your victory dance until the deal is sealed

Lesson two: Always have a backup plan. Instead of twiddling my thumbs, I could've used that time to tackle other tasks.

And lesson three: Communication is key. If she had let me know she couldn't make it beforehand, it would've saved us both time and disappointment.

Take it from me, don't let a canceled meeting rain on your parade. Keep grinding, and remember, there's always another Zoom call just around the corner.

Happy Super Thursday!!

The VA Skill That Pays the Most (And It’s Not What You Think)

Being a great VA isn’t about tasks, it’s about thinking ahead.

Early on, I thought my value came from checking off to-do lists fast. Big mistake. Clients don’t just need tasks done—they need problems solved before they happen.

The VAs who earn the most? They:
✅ Spot gaps before the client does
✅ Fix issues without being asked
✅ Think like a business owner, not just an assistant

I remember a client once saying, “You saved me from a disaster I didn’t even see coming.” That’s when I knew, I wasn’t just a VA. I was a strategic partner.

Want to raise your rates? Stop waiting for instructions. Start anticipating needs.

Dear Freelancers,

Stop Hiding on Social Media

If people don’t know what you do, they can’t hire you.

I used to “hope” clients would find me. I posted once in a while, avoided talking about my services, and watched others land opportunities. Meanwhile, I stayed invisible.

Then I changed one thing: I started showing up.
✅ I posted about my work consistently.
✅ I engaged with my audience daily.
✅ I shared my wins, lessons, and offers without fear. (I still do)

Guess what?
My inbox changed overnight. Clients started reaching out. Friends started referring to me to clients. Opportunities found me. And it wasn’t luck—it was visibility.

Freelancing is NOT a “build it and they will come” game. You have to be seen to be hired.

💬 What’s stopping you from showing up?

3 Things I Wish I Did Sooner as a New VA

Most virtual assistants don’t struggle with work. They struggle with business.

When I started, I knew how to manage calendars and later on, learned how to edit podcasts.

But knowing how to run a VA business? That was a different story.

Here’s what I wish I did sooner:

1️⃣ I stopped charging hourly.
Hourly rates kept me stuck. When I switched to package pricing, I made more in less time.

2️⃣ I niched down.
At first, I said YES to everything. But generalists get overlooked. Specialists get booked.

3️⃣ I treated my VA work like an agency before it was one.
That meant contracts, automations, and clear boundaries. Fast forward: World Virtual Assistants was born.

💬 Freelancers, what’s one business move that changed everything for you?

🔖 SHARE this with a new VA who needs to hear it.

Happy Super Wednesday!
