Hey, I’m Carly! A Virtual Pro.
Hi hi, friends. As you may have gathered by this point, I’m Carly and I work as a virtual pro. I thought I’d take a moment here to explain a little bit about 1) Carly and 2) what it means to be a virtual pro.
I realized that by listing my name instead of saying “me”, I have totally set myself up to speak in third person throughout this blog post and I am itching to take that opportunity, but Carly only speaks in third person when Carly is hungry (side note: Carly is hungry all the time). OH yay! Now, you’ve learned a fact about me.
Alright, alright… so I am all about getting cozy with a nice cup of hot, black coffee in a big, fun mug. I am also all about creating beautiful, fun and engaging content for my clients and their businesses. And, I totally mean that. Like, I have a genuine joy for my job and I feel passionate about the clients that I work with. Also, I’m actually qualified to do this work (which is a cool perk as VAs keeping popping up).
I studied Journalism with a minor in Women and Gender studies at the University of Toronto. Pretty much, I indebted myself a hefty student loan to be very good at writing about feminism. Honestly, I couldn’t be happier with that decision. Journalism studies taught me how to write clearly and concisely. I also learned a great deal about graphic design, personal branding and freelancing. These studies make me good at this job.
The Women and Gender studies made me good at life. The courses within that program took ahold of my core values and opened my eyes to a lot more of the world. I am an intersectional feminist and I wear that proudly and openly. Okay, so enough about me (unless you have questions, then I’m an open book). Let’s talk about what it means to be a “virtual pro” or “virtual assistant”…

Reasons to hire me…
Take back your time! Whether this is time to focus on other elements of your business or to spend time with your family. Time is everything to you and your business and you need to spend it well.
Delegate your tasks and free up your mind! There are SO many factors of running a business that require your attention. It's hard to focus on the important things when your mind is running thinking about a million other things. Let me take those tasks off of your plate and give your mind a break.
Get out of your admin mess! Countless emails, voicemails, calls to make, data to enter, invoices, research to be done... The administrative tasks go on and on and take up more time than you have to give. So take yourself out of it and hand the mess over to your VA.
Build your online presence! Coming up with posts and graphics across multiple social media platforms, posting them every day, writing clever and long captions, hashtaging, engaging with other accounts, responding to messages - again, a super time consuming task. But, that's what I love and live to do!
Overall, grow your business. With more time, a clear mind and a helping hand, your business will grow and thrive.
