You are right.

Hello Yormie, thanks for the kind words. I am glad you find the thread helpful. Please register on Geegpay. 2) Create a virtual dollar account. 3) Go back to Upwork and add the dollar account. You can't move the dollar out of the virtual account. You can only convert to Naira and move to your Naira account.

So I have started my research about how the get started and I have put together the following steps according to youtube:
1) Learning how to type fast (currently learning that on youtube even though nepa dey disappoint me)
2) Learning the basics of microsoft, how to create basic presentation using powerpoint, how to make a link to the powerpoint presentation, etc
3) learn excel
4) Email etiquette
5) How to book travels......and so on

Please I would like to know if I am on the right path and please help me by adding few things you think I should learn to, like a guide or steps e.g the courses I can take or videos I should watch on youtube....I would so much appreciate that .... please just put the reply out here so others can learn too ..

Good job on all you're working on. I'm not a VA expert, but as someone who has had to learn many things over the years, I'd say it's better to reduce your learning to one or two topics at a time. At most, three. Five seems quite a mouthful.

But yeah, all these skills you highlighted would help you on your journey to becoming a virtual assistant. You can also learn to be more organized and use productivity/organizational tools like Notion and Asana/Trello.

I don't know any free ones at the moment. The person I know who posts free Udemy courses is @omoalhajaabiola on X (formerly Twitter). He also has a large community on Telegram where they discuss this stuff.

If you're not big on getting certificates, you can check out Simplilearn on YouTube. They offer free in-depth tutorials on many courses. I know they have the Excel course.

You can check out YouTube for other courses too. They're free there.
