1. Headline (most important)
Don’t just write “Virtual Assistant”.
Write:
Virtual Assistant | Helping Busy Founders Stay Organized & Save Time
Or:
Virtual Assistant | Admin, Email & Research Support for Small Businesses
2. Profile photo
Clear, bright, professional
Neutral background
Friendly expression (approachable > stiff)
3. About section (3 short parts)
Who you help
What you do well
Why it matters
Example:
I help entrepreneurs and small teams stay focused by handling admin, email management, scheduling, and research. I’m detail-oriented, reliable, and focused on making clients’ lives easier.
4. Experience
Even if you’re new:
Freelance / Personal projects
School, volunteer, or online work
Focus on tasks and outcomes, not titles
5. Skills
Add:
Email & calendar management
Data entry
Research
Microsoft Office / Google Workspace
Communication
6. First post
Introduce yourself:
What you do
Who you want to help
What services you offer
Key rule:
Clarity beats creativity. Simple, specific profiles get more clients.
