  • Join lots of free virtual assistant forums.  Participate and use Google Notebook to save good advice.
  • Read virtual assistant websites and va blogs daily.
  • Study free business advice sites.  You are not just a virtual assistant, you are also a freelance assistant that is an entrepreneur and you have to mange your business well.  You also have to have the skills to help other businesses succeed.
  • Become a better communicator for free.
  • Become an affiliate and learn how to sell via trial and error.  It takes longer but it is free.
  • Find a mentor to help you.
  • Email experts with respectful questions.  Don’t pester one person, spread your emails around.

  • Do a free virtual internship.  Make sure you get free training and a testimonial.
  • Volunteer to help a non-profit in exchange for testimonial.
  • Work for a virtual assistant agency until you have the experience to go out on your own.

There are many more ways to get free virtual assistant training.  The point is, if it is free you are going to have to hunt for it and learn through trial and error a lot more.  You will pay for your free training with your time, instead of your pocketbook.

Good luck.
