… and confidently book your first paying client (or three!) in the next 90 days or less! 👊
- You're not sure which services you should offer or what to charge
- You don't know where to find clients who will hire you
- You're worried you're not ready yet
- You're juggling a family, a day job or other #adulting responsibilities
- You're juggling a family, a day job or other #adulting responsibilities
- You have approximately one million questions about how this whole thing works...
Sometimes it’s quiet.
“What if… there was another way I could earn an income… without the 9-to-5 drag?”
Sometimes it’s bolder.
“Maybe I *could* make a living by working online from home (or anywhere!)… and set my own hours…”
‘Cuz while there’s almost nothing you can’t figure out between you + Google 👩🏻💻…
This whole “make money as a virtual assistant” idea has got you majorly spinning your wheels:
🤓 You’ve read all the blogs about how to become a VA (some of ’em twice!)…
⚠️ Downloaded so many free guides that your computer is almost running out of disk space…
👀 Checked out a bunch of majorly inspiring success stories like these… 👇
Debora walked away from her soul-sucking call center job after 8 months and now earns almost $9,000 per month – just from her VA biz!
Former corporate recruiter Hailey landed her first VA job just 38 days after joining… and now averages $4,785 per month, working part-time hours!
Sarah launched her VA biz during her daughter’s naptime… 3 months later she’s fully booked and has a waitlist of clients wanting to work with her! 😍
Take a breath and slow it down.
This is your invitation to figure out the rest together inside a program I created for you called #FullyBookedVA (more on that in just a sec…).
Because the path to becoming a VA doesn’t have to be overwhelming, complicated or scary — in fact, with the right support, it’s much simpler than you think:
The creator of the #FullyBookedVA System and Founder of Horkey HandBook.
For the last 7+ years, I’ve helped thousands of people build thriving virtual assistant and freelance writing businesses —
The kind that give them total control over their income, their schedule and the confidence to get paid to support awesome business owners from all around the world.
After all, I had non-negotiable #responsibilities like a husband (Wade!) and two children (now three!) to support as the breadwinner of my family.
I was in a finance job that was *technically* working, but wasn’t right for me.
- Gain complete flexibility and freedom over your time
- Work from home – or anywhere in the world
- Leave a soul-sucking 9-5 job behind – for good
- Say sayonara to long, time-wasting commutes forever
- Do interesting work... with people you actually like!
- Be available for your family and kids whenever you want or need to be
- Stop worrying about money by bringing extra income into your household
- Create a secure and stable future with a sustainable, profitable business
- Live life on YOUR terms (and make your own rules!)
Back in 2014, I knew I wanted these things too.
I wanted to try something new… but I was afraid of failing.
Could I really do this — work online, replace my full-time income and *enjoy* it too?
The only way I could find out was to give it a shot.
I started my business in May 2014, securing my first freelance client (and paycheck) within a month and hustled to keep building it from there.
If I was a betting woman, I’d wager you are too.
With some dedication, the right guidance and a little bit of sweat, you absolutely can create real, sustainable income by working as a virtual assistant, just like these #FBVA students did:
“Horkey HandBook was one of the main reasons I was able to leave my full-time job to become a full-time entrepreneur. The lessons are easy to follow with step-by-step exercises to implement along the way. I was able to see that I could earn an income online and had their support for any questions that came up. I completely recommend the program to anyone who realizes the opportunity to earn income online and wants the guidance to make it happen!”
Elizabeth Neumann
“It’s official! Today – 365 days ago – I joined this VA program. Year 1 was figuring out if I could create value for others and get them to pay me for my work, all while working part-time hours. Turns out, I can. 6 Clients, $29k and several new friendships later – I’m really glad I made the choice to start this journey. Thanks for sharing your story and opening doors for others Gina! #youdabest”

- If you think you could help someone manage their inbox a little better...
- Or get a handle on their social media scheduling...
- Or polish up a blog post before it goes live...
- And countless other tasks that business owners are dying to get off their plate...
Why Virtual Assisting in 2022 and beyond is looking brighter than ever before…
- From Statistica: In the U.S. alone, outsourced services (which includes VA work!) is valued at 85 billion-with-a-B dollars.
- From Delegated.com: Businesses in almost every niche and every industry are hiring and looking for assistants... now!
- From CNBC: Companies of all sizes turn to freelancers for support (yup — that means your first gig could be that small business just down the street...or an awesome business owner on the other side of the world.
- Freelancers make up one third of the American workforce — contributing $1.2 trillion to the economy!
- People from every generation are turning to freelancing for the increased freedom and flexibility – and in uncertain times – for financial stability too.
- 48% of freelancers are caregivers... and 76% say it gives them more flexibility to be available for their loved ones.
- Of those who quit their full time job in order to freelance, 75% say they earn the same or MORE pay than when they had a traditional employer. (Heck yeah!)
First VA Job: 2 months after joining
Location: Tampa, FL (moved 3 years ago to the US from Switzerland)
Average Monthly Income: $8,750
“I moved to the US to be with my now husband, and started a job in a call center that I absolutely hated. I felt like I was dying inside.
I’d tried a little bit of freelancing before, like dog walking or cleaning, because I really liked the idea of being able to create my own schedule. When I heard about becoming a VA, it sounded too good to be true. “Who hires a VA? What do they do? What if someone actually hires me?!” I didn’t have a degree and felt underqualified.
I was scared to invest money in Gina’s program. But a fire was lit within me. The thought of having my own business, managing my own time, being my own boss and creating something I was truly passionate about kept me going while working a 9-5 job I didn’t enjoy.
The day I went full-time with my VA business – just 8 months after finishing the course – was one of the happiest of my life. I love working with my clients from all over the US and in all kinds of different niches, giving them valuable time and energy back for doing what they love and want to do
You might not realize it, but you have a very specific skill set that someone needs. Gina helped me find mine, so I could create a life where I like to go to work every single day.”
Debora Cavett
- Someone who might not have tons of experience... but is willing to figure things out as they go (believe it or not — THIS is what clients are really hiring you for!).
- Someone who might not be a technology wizard... but who's willing to jump in, learn something new and give it a try.
- Someone who doesn't necessarily have a giant network or smooth-talking sales skills to woo them into hiring you... but can show up as an imperfect but helpful human who they can trust to make their lives just a little bit easier than before.
You set your work hours.
You decide how much you want to work, when and who with.
You get to create your own path toward doing meaningful work for real business owners… who want to pay you in exchange for your services!
I know you’re afraid of getting it wrong or screwing up.
Back when I was starting my own journey, I felt the same way.
(After all, change may be constant… but that doesn’t mean it isn’t scary!)
- "I heard VAs don't make much money I could probably earn more working at Target."
- "The virtual assistants who DO make real money are and more experienced than meanyway."
- "Even if I COULD do this... I don't have time... and there is much to learn"
- "I don't know anyone who could hire me... and sorta scared (OK, really scared) pitching myself to people."
- " dabbled with being a VA in the past and didn't get much traction.. why would it be any different this time?"
- " bother trying This will just be another business idea that never gets off the ground."
The fear is real 😱.
… But the stories you tell yourself about what’s possible don’t have to be.
Sometimes, they’re just the voice of your inner critic who wants to keep you safe (and unfortunately, stuck).
The real trick is in learning to tell the difference between a legitimate question that you can answer through the right blend of information, advice and learning as you go…
And what’s just regular-old mind trash → 🗑 that’s getting in the way of you taking action, getting support, and getting RESULTS.
“I used to be so skeptical… I did a TON of research before joining, but I am so glad I did! If you’re just starting out and have no clue what you’re doing, or if you already have a business but just need validation, guidance and a little push, this can seriously change your life!”
“If you need a clear guide and roadmap for how to succeed as a VA, Gina Horkey is your gal! The #FullyBookedVA System packs a big punch. You will leave feeling equipped to jump in and get started. So quit comparing VA coaches and jump on the Horkey HandBook train. You’ll be glad you did!”
Because you can do this.
- You can decide that you're ready for a new career direction, no matter how long you've been at it or how experienced you are.
- You can start saying yes to the freedom and flexibility you crave, in a way that works with your responsibilities as a parent, caregiver or your current job.
- You can create a path toward earning more money, contributing to your family or replacing your full-time income and more...
… and I created #FullyBookedVA to support you, every step of the way.
Get the confidence and step-by-step clarity you need to turn your existing skills and experience into a profitable virtual assisting business…

First VA Job: Within HOURS of enrolling at 5X her normal rate!
Location: Works remotely from Cebu City, Philippines
Return on Investment: Within 24 HOURS of joining
Average Monthly Income: $5,000+
“I wanted to THANK YOU for all of the quality leads you’ve made available to us via the VA Leads portion of #FBVA.
I had a lot of hesitation joining the system initially – I already had VA experience and it cost more than a third of my income as a junior programmer, so I had to save up for a few months first. I was very close to getting my first contract signed upon enrolling, but this time I decided to work on my mindset and was able to successfully charge 5X more than I previously did – the course material on how to deal with client objections helped me to nail it!
More than that, I love what the Community has evolved into. Sometimes I feel like I’ve already learned it all, but the office hours and expert interviews make me realize that I still have a loooong way to go – in a good way!”

“I landed my first client through the VA Leads program – and it was my first pitch ever! I started off as a producer/host for online trainings, and things just grew from there. I now average about 20-25 hours per week with this client at approximately $35 an hour.
The #FullyBookedVA System provides a ton of valuable tools for anyone serious about starting a VA business. The foundational course gave me the resources and confidence I needed to leave my corporate career of 22 years for a stress-free life of being my own boss!”
Noelle Dale
“I was REALLY happy with Horkey HandBook’s VA Finder Service, and have actually sent a couple of friends to test it out already as well. I got several qualified candidates and was excited to connect with someone who already had a good grasp of my niche and the tasks I had in mind.” – Nick Loper, Side Hustle Nation
“I needed a VA to help with a product launch just 2 weeks away. I received multiple high-quality applications – and hired someone within a few days. The VA I worked with was amazing… she kept me sane during my launch, completed all tasks AHEAD of time and went above and beyond!” – Sally Miller, Business Coach

VICTORIA NAILED HER NICHE AND FOUND HER SPECIALITY… TO THE TUNE OF $1,000 A MONTH IN LESS THAN 90 DAYS!
First VA Job: Within 1 week of joining
Location: Brooklyn, NY (USA)
Average Monthly Income: $1,000+
“Pre-#FBVA, I was working on a business that I was good at but it didn’t make me happy. I had to get real clear on what I wanted for my life. I needed to do something that didn’t feel like a chore and that I naturally aligned with. And I wanted something outside of my 9-5 to supplement my income, especially when my partner was laid off from his job.
So I took a chance on #FBVA. I said to myself: I’ll try it for a month and see what happens. And in the very first week of taking the course, I had someone reach out to me for support. From there, referrals have come, and now I’ve worked with 6 clients in just 3 months since I started. I’ve leaned heavily on the templates and resources inside the program while working with clients.
I’ve tried running different businesses before but I feel that being a VA allows me to align my gifts with what I naturally love to do. Gina’s coaching inside #FBVA showed me how to bring out my gifts to get my business off the ground while managing the rest of my life. I’ve got my niche nailed, I’m working on my pricing, and am building a speciality in project management.
#FBVA walks you through it all step by step. You see that it’s OK to make mistakes. Gina doesn’t sugarcoat it and she keeps it real. And you have the community of people there to support you who are doing the same thing. In just 3 months I’ve hit my goal of $1,000 a month… and now I have my sights set on $10,000.”
Victoria Juste
The #FBVA program includes THREE different support bonuses:
The private #FBVA Community Forum is included in your membership – you get access to it from the moment you join and lifetime access with your enrollment. It’s where you’ll check in whenever you need us: to update us on your progress, ask questions along the way and learn from other VAs who are growing right alongside you.
The #FBVA Community is nothing like the overcrowded Facebook groups you might have joined before — our custom-built forum is an organization junkie’s dream!
Topics are clearly organized and easy to find, and our #FBVA coaches (including Gina!) are active in the community and there to make sure your questions get answered.
(Best of all, this is a place where you go to focus on growing your business without distraction – instead of logging into FB and going down a 3hr rabbit hole that doesn’t get you any closer to getting clients and getting paid… 🐰👀)
Because sometimes you just need to sit down and talk it out! Every week, you have the opportunity to drop in and get your questions answered by yours truly, Gina Horkey.
Gina has over 20 years of sales experience and has sepnt the last decade helping freelancers build their own businesses, and if there’s one thing she knows for sure… it’s that the #1 reason aspiring VAs don’t make it isn’t because they don’t have the information they need… it’s because they get stuck in their own head!
Join our weekly group coaching calls to talk it out:
Think you don’t know anyone you can offer your service to… or feel paralyzed by the idea of pitching someone? Troubleshoot it with us during group coaching, and we’ll craft a plan that feels totally doable.
Worried that you don’t actually have the skills or experience you need to land jobs? Share your concerns with us, and we’ll help you find your sweet spot where your experience lines up with a killer service you can offer with total confidence.
Majorly overwhelmed by all the stuff on your plate… trying to juggle clients, responsibilities and actually having a life? That’s normal, and we can help you fix it. During our weekly sessions, we’ll help you map out your goals and figure out how to create the space and calm you want, while making the money you need to feel successful and secure.
The group coaching calls are your chance to have live, engaging, 1:1 conversations with your peers and the #FBVA coaching team in real time. Get the support, accountability and answers you need to take action and nail it!
And, when you enroll you’ll have lifetime access to these coaching sessions…
So you’ll never get stuck or wonder what to do next!
You can attend live each week or simply submit your question ahead of time and catch the replay at your convenience. There is nothing you can’t figure out with us in your corner.
Trainings we’ve delivered so far include:
- How to create your ideal work schedule
- A simple process for building a great VA website

“The #FullyBookedVA System was so helpful as I first dipped my toes into freelancing and it continues to be helpful six months in!

“I’ve been a #FullyBookedVA member since the beginning and have landed SEVEN clients from the leads that have been sent out (plus was referred to two more through them). I’ve been able to attribute $63,000 (half of my total income!) to these leads over the last few years! The money I’ve earned has WAYYYYY MORE than paid for my ongoing investment – it’s so worth it! I enjoy my work so much and truly appreciate the flexibility VA work allows me. I’m able to do laundry, drop off and pick my kids up from school and be a more present mom and partner.”

“The #FBVA community is great for beginners and those more advanced. Gina does a great job explaining what each client lead involves, and who would be a good fit for that specific lead, so you can gauge what tasks are involved and if you’re comfortable doing them/learning to do them. I can’t recommend it enough because pitching is hard and scary to do when you don’t have much experience under your belt. The good news? This course/community kind of does the hardest part for you. “

Don’t be embarrassed!
VA stands for Virtual Assistant and basically means that you’re helping someone out from afar. I.e. You have a service to offer, they are in need of your sweet skills and you make a deal to trade time (or task) for pay.
There are TONS of services that can fall under the VA or virtual assistant umbrella – services like writing, social media, email or blog management, graphic creation, accounting… the list goes on!
You bet! Most tasks aren’t time-sensitive, so you can do them on your schedule – around your current 9-5, your family, etc.
You might end up working with clients all over the world that are in completely different time zones. Our team is 100% remote and live globally, and it works great!
Sure! There are tons of students living outside the U.S. who have built successful VA businesses after joining our program. That’s the beauty of virtual work!
One thing to keep in mind though, is that if you want to work with English-speaking clients, you should have a strong handle on writing, reading and speaking English too.
No matter where you reside in the world, you can work with anyone – regardless of where they live!
It really depends on you, your schedule and your work ethic – The #FullyBookedVA System is self-paced.
Some students have made their way through the certification phase (i.e. completing the VA Foundations course) in as little as a weekend, while for others it takes them a few months.
You have unfettered access to wherever you are in the program – whether it’s the Start, Build or Scale phase. And as you advance through the system you’ll continue to have lifetime access to all of the training material, weekly group coaching and the#FullyBookedVA Community.
So, it’s really up to you!
You sure can!
I get emails each and every week from students sharing their successes and how they just landed their first paying gig (or quit their 9-5!). It makes me smile every time!
But success doesn’t come without effort…
In addition to reading the material, you’ll need to complete the module Action Plans, attend Group Coaching and engage with the #FBVA Community.
And while it may seem scary at first, putting yourself out there and asking to be hired via pitching (the freelancing term for prospecting or applying for work) is what’s going to get you there – you got this!
Well… sort of!
We provide a steady stream of vetted leads from business owners looking to hire our graduates, as well as a regular roundup of online remote job opportunities.
Once you’ve completed our VA Foundations course and received your certification, you’ll unlock access to these leads through the VA Leads portion of #FBVA.*
And while we’ll provide you with awesome leads, it’s really up to you to get out there, pitch them and then land them!
We teach you all the skills you need to do this successfully in our VA Foundations course, plus you have the support of the Horkey HandBook team during weekly Group Coaching and the #FullyBookedVA Community to help you build your client roster.
*Your initial purchase includes 12 months of access to VA Leads – while your access has to be earned by becoming certified, the clock starts ticking upon checkout. You’re able to renew this AMAZING perk for just $500/year thereafter.
The short answer is… nope! You can certainly put any previous experience or training you have to work in your new VA business, but you definitely don’t need any kind of fancy degree or letters after your name.
In fact, when it comes to education, we provide you with what you need to become a successful VA (skills courses, specialization tracks, live expert-led training)! And, once you’ve completed our VA Foundations course and passed your final exam, you’ll become Horkey HandBook VA Certified.
Your certification is a powerful way to let folks know you’re legit, that you’ve invested the time, energy and money into yourself as a professional and that you’re officially open for business!
You may not realize it, but right now you already have at least ONE skill that can be translated into a service you can get paid for!
That’s right, you totally do, and in the VA Foundations course we walk you through exactly how to figure out what those profit skills are and how to start offering them – right away!
We’re putting EVERYTHING in our student’s hands to set you up for success – including earning your investment back ASAP.
All YOU have to do is dig in and follow the plan we’ve laid out for you! If you’ve followed our plan and haven’t made your money back, feel free to cash in our LIFETIME money-back guarantee.
Here’s what we’re asking you to do before requesting a refund:
✔️ Successfully complete our cornerstone course, VA Foundations, and receive your Horkey HandBook VA Certification
✔️ Send a minimum of 100 client pitches (including follow-ups) and submit a completed Pitch Tracker (an editable tracking spreadsheet found within VA Foundations and included in your membership)
✔️ Attend Group Coaching for at least five sessions
We’ll ask you to provide evidence that you’ve done all these things before you request your money back.
We can’t do the work for you, but we’ll support you all the way and give you every opportunity to succeed!
Awesome – we appreciate you purchasing from us in the past!
You’ll still have lifetime access to your previous purchases under the Thinkific platform (i.e. you can log in as you always have), regardless.
We’d love for you to join us over here too – it’s completely optional, however, and dependent on the goals that you have for your VA business.
If you’ve already completed our flagship VA Foundations course (when it was previously known as 30 Days or Less to Virtual Assistant Success), know that that’s just the beginning of what we offer in The #FullyBookedVA System!
The latest version of VA Foundations has been revised and updated, and most importantly, #FBVA is the ONLY way you can access our Specialization Tracks, VA Leads and regular coaching and community support via our forums and weekly live coaching sessions.
If you’ve already completed 30 Days or Less to Virtual Assistant Success, you’re more than welcome to skip ahead to the final exam – and as long as you take/pass it – unlock access to:
✅ Your official VA Certification from Horkey HandBook
✅ Client leads (both proprietary & non-proprietary)
✅ ALL of our skills courses -and-
✅ Our Specialization Tracks (brand new and exclusively available ONLY to #FBVA members!)
As your business grows, we’d love to continue to support you, and we’ve developed #FBVA to help you book clients, build confidence and refine your skills as you work toward growing your income and hitting your goals.
- Working with clients you love, doing work that interests you and getting paid to build your skills and experience along the way.
- Making enough money to pay down debt, spoil your family or support them entirely (hello #breadwinner!)
- Having the step-by-step confidence to source potential clients, reach out to them and have effortless conversations that seal the damn deal!
- Building a recession-proof, pandemic-proof, meteor-proof (hey, you never know...) skillset that ensures your financial security will never be left to chance again.
- Escaping or avoiding charging rock-bottom prices for your services by nailing your niche, developing your specialty and connecting with business owners who know the value of a killer VA.
- Aligning your work with your natural interests, skills and talents — and turning them into desirable services that business owners around the world want, need... and are willing to pay for.
- Working in the comfort of home, by your own schedule and according to your rules for how you want your week to look and feel.
- The freedom to duck out for groceries at 10am on Tuesday, to not have to ask to take a break or go on vacation... and to set your own salary.
- Knowing that you have an expert support team and kickass community behind you every step of the way — to cheer you on, answer your questions and help you nail your client process from start to finish.
- Saying goodbye forever to crappy jobs that suck the life out of you, because you've got the skills and the savvy to replace your full-time income (and then some, if you please).
None of them believed it was possible until they did it.
With #FBVA, so can you.

"I just wanted to say thank you – I started my freelance writing business this past summer and you were my first inspiration. I am now working on leveling up and am taking my business full-time. I'm leaving my teaching job and will be working from home (sweatpants forever!). I am now a mompreneur copywriter and couldn't be happier!"

"Since I joined and made some changes in how I do business, I've increased my monthly income and received a HUGE project from one of my clients. I have to actually stop looking for more work because I can't take on anymore until these projects are complete. I didn't think I would make this much money in a month for a year but I'm already there!
It all starts with being willing
to just begin.

“It’s really hard to be a mom to a kid who has medical needs and work a traditional full time job. I didn’t want to work for somebody who dictated everything to me. I want to choose my clients. I want to choose the work I do.
I want advice from someone who has done it, in a community of people who are going through the same thing. I was looking for skills training to fill in any gaps, and access to leads and ways to find clients who were specifically looking for VA services. #FullyBookedVA offered all of this to me in one place.
I joined #FullyBookedVA and completed the VA Foundations course in 4 days. That night, I logged into #FBVA Leads job board, sent my first pitch, and landed my first client the next day.
I didn’t even have a contract ready, but #FBVA had everything I needed to onboard the client, prepare a contract and ask the right questions from the start. In just 3 weeks, I’m working with my first client and already in talks with another.
#FBVA gave me the confidence to talk to clients, knowing that I could do a good job and figure it out along the way. You don’t have to know every aspect of a job 100% to sell yourself and get started.”

- You don't need to have all the answers. You just need to be willing to get started and learn as you go.
- You don't need a bunch of free time to start your VA business. The whole point is to build something that lines up with your schedule, interests and existing commitments. How that looks is completely up to you, and we'll help you figure it out!
- You don't need to quit your job (if you have one) or set your life on fire to try something new! We encourage you to try virtual assisting on the side to see how you like it, get momentum and validate that this kind of business is viable for you. (And if it's not, you're protected by our LIFETIME money-back guarantee.)
- You don't need to know exactly what kind of services you'll offer yet, or how you'll land and work with clients. You just need to follow the steps to put yourself out there and we'll guide you through the entire process so it feels totally doable.
- You don't need rock-solid confidence or years of experience (seriously!). Inside #FBVA, we'll help you build both of those along the way.
“I’m a mom of four kiddos and I’ve always wanted to work from home, but it’s something that I thought would never happen for me. I worried that I wouldn’t be able to make enough money to replace my day job, especially when there’s not that many options in the small town I live in.
I’ve worked part time as a VA before, but only as an employee, so I’ve never had to pitch a client or take care of my own marketing. I signed up for #FBVA to sharpen my skills and hopefully land a couple of good, solid clients when the timing is right. Thankfully the program covers that in depth!
I’ve been a student of Horkey HandBook since 2017 and I’ve always trusted Gina to deliver on what she promises. She’s who I go to when I want to keep my skills relevant so I can provide the best services for my clients.
So many of my friends tell me they’re miserable or hate their jobs. They’re smart and skilled and I just want them to know this is an option for them. You can do so much better!
I cannot describe what a blessing it is to be able to stay home with my kids (especially during the pandemic). And the freedom? You can’t put a price on it.”
