Can you get clients on Fiverr / Upwork as a UK Virtual Assistant?

Episode 43

Saturday, October 17, 2026 • Duration 26:31

I know this might be controversial, but my answer is no.

Not because nobody has ever found a client on those platforms.

People absolutely have.

But because the sites are often a complete mis-representation of what running a profitable, thriving UK VA business actually looks like.

Now this podcast isn’t a ‘Fiverr is awful, it must be avoided at all costs’ this is more of a ‘by all means use it, but be aware of how it could make you feel and how it could dramatically affect your mindset’.

The difference between £500 and £5,000 months is often what you choose to focus on

Episode 42

Saturday, September 26, 2026 • Duration 30:42

The difference between a £500 month and a £5,000 month is often what you choose to focus on.

Most of us aren't taught how to think like a business owner. We're taught how to think like employees.

In this episode, I share some of the simple shifts you can make to ditch the restrictive employee mindset and make business decisions that'll see your business thriving.

By the end of the episode, you'll know exactly which area deserves your attention first.

'AI Didn’t Replace Me - It Made Me An Even Better VA' with Lily Attwell-Rowan

Episode 41

Saturday, August 22, 2026 • Duration 30:21

'AI Didn’t Replace Me - It Made Me Better'.

Virtual Assistant Lily Attwell-Rowan joins me to share how she went from sceptical to making money from AI. In her own words, 'I'd rather be on the ride than watch it from the sidelines crying'.

Lily loves that AI enables her to now work faster, smarter, more efficiently and offer services she didn't offer before because of 'my own limiting beliefs about writing'.

In this episode I mention my Train AI course, which you can find here.

I also briefly mention legal contracts. Don't forget, you can get 10% off KoffeeKlatch Virtual Assistant Contracts with my code: CATH10.

Bookkeeping for Virtual Assistants - Making it Make Sense

Episode 40

Saturday, July 18, 2026 • Duration 53:56

Here's the link to book onto the training I mention at the end of the podcast: https://courses.catherinegladwyn.co.uk/products/live_events/bookkeeping-2026

Did you know that when people say ‘I’ve had an unexpected tax bill’, it just means they didn’t have access to a podcast episode like this.

Personally, I absolutely love bookkeeping and I hope that comes across in this podcast episode so I can help you to love it and not fear it.

So many new VAs either:

completely avoid bookkeeping because it scares them
think they’ll “sort it later”
or accidentally create chaos by mixing personal and business money from day one.

And because we do need to know a bit more than how many notebooks you can put through the business every month, when this suggested topic came in from a listener I thought ‘bloody brilliant idea’.

And it gave me an excuse to invite the lovely Nadia Gibbs from Birdsong accountancy and one of the co-founders of Hey Monika, the award winning software for new bookkeepers, to join me.

Let us show you how the scary bits of bookkeeping are really rather easy with these hacks, what else you could be claiming for and much more.

It remains your responsibility to ensure your business accounting is accurate. If you're ever in any doubt please speak to HMRC and / or a qualified accountant.

How to Prevent / Stop Burnout as a Virtual Assistant

Episode 39

Saturday, June 20, 2026 • Duration 29:34

Remember when becoming a VA was supposed to give you more freedom?

In this episode, I explore some of the warning signs of burnout, why so many of us struggle to switch off, and how to stop your business taking over your life.

Tried and tested practical tips on boundaries, client management, workload, AI, forced breaks, and how to build a business that supports your life rather than consumes it.

Plus, why your first £10k month might not be quite as glamorous as it sounds.

Could your retainers put you out of business?

Episode 38

Saturday, May 16, 2026 • Duration 23:39

If you're doing this with your retainers you could actually be sabotaging the future of your VA business. You could be heading towards burn out. You could be heading towards another situation where work takes precedence over life.

I don't want that for you and I know you don't want that for yourself.

Let me share my thoughts on how we should be selling retainers.

How Blogging and AI can get VAs more clients!

Episode 37

Saturday, April 18, 2026 • Duration 29:29

Do VAs need to blog? No.

But if you want to get exposure to more clients, become noticed by AI (because AI is not going anywhere), want to attract more clients and allow Google to fall in love with you, then your website needs to do more than just sit there, and blogging can help!

In this podcast, I’m talking about:

how blogs can help bring more eyes to your business (more eyes = more clients = more income)
why blogging is important for your ranking on Google
how blogging could help your business get found by AI, not just Google
how to write blogs your ideal clients are actually searching for

If you’ve been wondering whether blogging is worth your time as a VA, this one’s for you.

I mention my fast track course, How to Train ChatGPT, in this episode. You can take a look here.

How Much Does It Really Cost to Become a Virtual Assistant in 2026?
