90 Day VA Review

My review of 90 Day VA has definitely changed over the year I have been on my own as a virtual assistant. Esther’s program is great for people who want to get their feet wet, but after that I had to find answers I needed help with on my own.

As an American who lives outside of the US, I found this program to be of little help to my needs once they got more complicated. I do wish I had done more research into other VA programs, but this got me off to a great start.

Once I completed the course, I realized how little help it was to me and disassociated myself from them. I had to figure out everything by trial and error.

90 Day VA is a course aimed at a single niche, white moms, and I found it really hard to make friends, find connections/support, and build my own community within that as I don’t identify with that niche.

I am not here to bash 90 Day VA but to give my honest opinion of the course. I feel like it did give a very clear overview of what a VA is and can do, but didn’t go in-depth on anything.

I also think the fact they expect you to pay to be in their exclusive FB group to find jobs is absolutely ridiculous.

I do wish I had done more research and picked a course that fit me better.

This course is amazing for anyone who has never had any experience doing virtual assisting work!

It taught me everything from the ground up and laid the foundation for future work. Whether you want to get into podcast editing, blogging, social media, or similar – this course will give you the foundations for all of it.

Now, while I love this, it’s undergone a lot of changes since I purchased it almost 5 years ago. It used to be that you’re getting everything as a foundation to try out, whereas now, you have to buy individual packs of what you’re interested in.

This is why I took one star away. Esther is doing an amazing job at providing value to get you started in this, though, the new changes will cost you more money in the end since you have to buy everything individually.

Now, also keep in mind, that this is all just foundations. This means that if you want to become specialized in something – you will have to learn it yourself with the help of other courses or YouTube.

Esther’s program is amazing for anyone who wants to get their foot in the door! Not to mention, the Facebook group support is fantastic and they post new jobs consistently!

It’s been a little over 4 months since I completed 90-day VA. I am happy to say that I am now working as an (almost!!) full-time VA with 3 long-term clients and a consistent stream of freelance projects.

I was interested in this course because I have wanted to be a digital nomad for years but couldn’t seem to find a remote job.

I was fresh out of college with a bachelor’s degree in writing and spent about 6 months relentlessly applying to remote jobs and internships and even cold emailing some companies.

Half a year later? Nothing. Not a single response! So when I came across this course, I went into it with a TON of motivation and determination to make this self-employed remote life work.

Now, I want to emphasize that I was coming into this course with a background in writing, video editing, and light graphic design – never professionally, but I certainly had a lot of personal experience with these skills.

These creative skills are some of the most in-demand skills for VAs.

So the real hurdle I had coming into this course was not learning the raw skills from scratch, but how to UTILIZE them.

The course teaches you how to actually get a job, get clients, promote them as services, promote yourself as a virtual assistant and content creator, present yourself professionally and authentically online, and optimize your portfolio, resume, social media, etc.

In short, the logistics and synthesis of all of my existing skills into a presentable package. And I certainly got that from 90-day VA.

Not only did the course have homework assignments that actually prompted you to build up and compile a diverse portfolio of work throughout (which helped me tremendously). It also provides detailed downloadable templates to use directly in your business (also very helpful and convenient).

After completing the course and learning all the tips and tricks, I felt like I had a leg up on other VA applicants, despite being a beginner.

This brings me to the best part of the course, specifically the member’s club – having access to the member’s exclusive job board with quality clients and minimal competition.

This was the best part in my opinion because all those major job sites and LinkedIn jobs I tried to apply to have hundreds to thousands of applicants!

This exclusive group only has active members of 90-day VA and then an even smaller pool of members who are currently looking for clients.

And the clients go through the site specifically looking for students of this program. I found all 3 of my current clients through this group and could not be happier with them.

Now, here is the drawback of this course and who I think this course is NOT for.

This course will not teach you how to become a professional blogger, video editor, graphic designer, website builder, podcast manager, etc.

It did provide a very basic foundation of these skills and assignments to get you practicing, but if you don’t already have some background in these higher-paid skill sets (aside from basic admin work), you need a course specifically for the niche you’re interested in.

They will say you don’t need ANY experience at all, but I really don’t think that’s true.

This course is primarily for those who know a thing or two and are looking for their way in but are not sure what to do, how to get it all together, or perhaps are not confident that they can even do it. This was me.

So the course gave me that boost, that access to jobs, and that entry into the self-employed remote work world. For those people, I recommend it!

When I joined the 90 Day VA course I had already been working remotely for a few years. However, this program gave me many more skills to continue working remotely because the digital world keeps moving ahead. In these modern times, if you don’t learn any skills online, working will become more difficult in almost any industry.

This course, gave me “an edge” because I learned things that almost every online business owner needs! The support to learn all needed skills is far superior to the support provided in a traditional “school” setting. Therefore, you won’t feel lost or without help.

I also finished the Tech VA and I love what I have learned. Now I can help my clients with even more “techie” remote skills!

Overall, the course was an excellent tool in helping me learn and understand the makings of a virtual assistant. I graduated from the Virtual Assistant Internship (VAI) class in October and landed my first social media client almost immediately.

After a few months, I realized I wanted to have even more skills, so I signed up for the ‘Tech VA In A Day’ course. This started me on my forever journey.

Right after graduating, I landed a job as a GoHighLevel Expert with an agency. I have been working with them for the past few months. I have to give all my credit to Esther and her team at VAI for making my dreams come true!

My experience with 90 Day VA was really good. I felt I received a ton of support. I learned so much and continue to learn a lot from Esther and other people who helped design the course. I would recommend this course to anyone looking to be a virtual assistant. I hope this course continues to grow and becomes very successful.

I also recommend 90 Day VA to anyone looking to work online or remotely. Soon after I finished the course, I landed my first client. Since then I have worked with another client and I am now looking for more clients to work with.

The 90 Day VA course has been a legitimate game-changer for me. I was feeling stuck in my 9 to 5 job and I was feeling hopeless. My dream was to be a work-from-home mom someday, but I couldn’t see a way of doing that without a college degree. So, I started searching.

After discovering the world of virtual assistance, my dream started to piece together, except for one small detail. Where should I start? I compared 10 programs, but for some reason 90 Day VA stuck out so much that I jumped in. I couldn’t afford the total price, so the payment plan was a huge help for me. I have only completed 54% of this course, but clients are already reaching out to me. Most importantly, I am being paid as a VA!

This course has completely changed my life. I’m now transitioning out of my 9-5! If you are scared to get 90 Day VA, I suggest you do that. You won’t regret it.

So far, the course is not only meeting but exceeding my expectations. I love Esther’s bubbly personality and directness. She doesn’t beat around the bush in her teaching style, which totally works for me!

The modules are informative and complete, yet concise enough that it’s not difficult to “digest” all the new information. Her course also includes a “Starter Pack” section including all the material required to start your own business as a freelancer. I value these lessons so much since they empower me to realize that I’m totally capable to do this with the right instructions all laid out for me.

Esther makes a real effort to build and sustain a supportive community. I feel safe asking for help anytime, and the tone is very friendly. She also takes the time to engage with us personally on some questions.

All in all, it’s a worthwhile investment. The content of this course is broad enough to have a range of options available to you right off the bat, before deciding where to niche down later on. It’s a great foundation for anyone looking to work location-independent and doesn’t know where to start.

My experience with 90 Day VA was incredible.

I was looking for something more than the usual 9-to-5 after having a baby, and Esther’s face popped up in my Facebook newsfeed for a free webinar. I signed up and from there enrolled in 90 Day VA and hit the ground running.

The course material gave me the confidence to pitch for jobs and the job leads that were exclusive to the program were how I landed my first few clients.

I’m not sure I would have ever gone down the VA route. This course actually helped me launch into online business management which is what I primarily do now.

After working as an ESL teacher for many years I needed to find a new career that allowed me to continue working online and be location-independent. I discovered 90 Day VA, a course created by Esther Inman, a former teacher.

The instructional design of this course is excellent. It’s focused on creating a portfolio of work so you can start job seeking right away. It’s primarily video courses with PowerPoint presentations. The presentations break down the course material into very comprehensible, easy-to-learn segments. At the end of each module, you have assignments to complete which become your portfolio pieces.

This course covers the basics of digital marketing, you learn blogging, content repurposing, video editing, podcast editing, and social media management as well as project management tools.

This is an excellent introductory course, which feels similar to a college course. I felt it was worth the investment and felt very accomplished at the end when I created a portfolio of work.

I was able to launch my business shortly after completing the course, thanks to the skills I learned here and the portfolio I was able to show and discuss with clients. There are also members-only internships and job opportunities in the community.
