from The Side Hustle Career Podcast with Fexingo: Second Income, Freelancing While Employed · host Fexingo
Episode 20 of The Side Hustle Career Podcast: Lucas and Luna tell the story of Mia, a part-time administrative assistant making $32,000 a year, who built a $7,000/month virtual assistant side hustle by specializing in real estate transaction coordination. They break down how she found her niche on Belay, priced her services at $65/hour, and scaled to 15 recurring clients without quitting her day job. The episode covers the specific steps she took: creating a website with client testimonials, using Calendly for scheduling, and automating follow-ups with Mailchimp. Lucas explains why general VAs earn $20/hour but specialists command $60-$80/hour. Luna questions whether this hustle is sustainable with a full-time job. They analyze the trade-offs and offer a concrete path for listeners considering a similar pivot. No fluff, just a real case study with numbers you can use. #VirtualAssistant #SideHustle #RealEstateCoordination #Belay #AdminToVA #Freelancing #RemoteWork #PartTimeHustle #ClientScaling #PricingStrategy #Calendly #Mailchimp #Careers #Business #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #TheSideHustleCareerPodcast #SecondIncome Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
