Membership Management Training for Virtual Assistants
Calling all Virtual Assistants and Online Support Professionals…
Membership based programs are one of the most popular and successful revenue streams for online based businesses….
Do you have the skills to help setup and manage membership programs for your clients?
“Announcing the Membership Management for Virtual Assistants‘ training”
From the desk of: Cindy Greenway
Hello fellow online adventurer!
- Would you like to specialize in one of the most in-demand services required by top clients?
- Are you losing potential clients (and increased income) because you haven’t yet learned how to setup and run a membership program?
- Are you worried that without updated training, your clients may start hiring other support professionals to do the work they need?
Continuity (Membership) Based Programs are all the Rage in Online Business Circles, and Clients Need Someone Who Can Setup and Manage their Membership Sites and Provide Ongoing Support to Members ….
You have likely seen the growing number of online membership sites available on the internet today. Associations, Clubs, Masterminds and the like… they come by many names but all work on the same basic principles:
Effective Membership System + Ongoing Member Support = Lucrative Revenue Stream
The thing is… month after month many memberships stall and/or are shut down – eliminating a potential revenue source for the business.
Why? Because they don’t have an automated system to manage the membership and an EXPERT (you) to maintain regular and valuable communication with the members.
Membership websites have been around for years …. however the efficient systems to setup and manage the membership site and communication to the members has always been a challenge. There are many systems out there, most of which are cumbersome to setup and hard for members to use.
And to top it off … there are only a few Virtual Assistants that offer this expertise.
This creates a frustrating situation for the business owner ….. they have great information to share with their own target market, a desire to create an ongoing revenue stream for their business, yet they don’t have an efficient, professional and automated system to efficiently run the program and an expert to provide the ultimate experience to the members.
With Membership Setup and Management skills in your Virtual Assistant Portfolio,
you can provide clients with the support they desperately need to build an ongoing stream of revenue! (and create an ongoing stream of revenue for yourself by supporting these memberships long-term.)
Here are just a few things you will be able to do once you have completed the ‘Membership Management for Virtual Assistants’ training:
You will learn how to use WishList Member to:
- Install and configure Wishlist Member – a foundational step in creating a membership program from the start.
- Set up multiple membership options and essential elements
- Protect content and create multiple membership levels
- Integrate WishList Member with 1ShoppingCart and Paypal to ensure a seamless and professional payment processing
- Manage the Membership - keeping in regular contact and providing value to the members.
| Why Wishlist Member?We have tried many membership systems throughout the years, and Wishlist Member is definitely our system of choice – it’s simple to setup, easy to use, highly customizable and provides all the elements you need to run a successful membership program. We love it! And so do many other online based businesses - the demand is really high for people who know this system. |
This is the only Membership Specialist class specifically created for Virtual Assistants!
There are certainly other training programs out there for membership programs with a focus on the online based business owner – however this is the first program of it’s kind that specifically teaches the Virtual Assistant how to setup and run a membership site.
As you may already know … our goal is in giving Virtual Assistants the skills they need to:
- provide the service(s) business owners desperately need
- support them in identifying an area of specialty – if they desire to minimize the number of services they provide and want to specialize in just a few areas
- encourage them to build the business they really want and work with the people that appreciate them the most
- build a successful business while generating the most revenue possible.
And so we have asked Blog & Wishlist Member Expert Sandra De Freitas to join us at Hot Skills VA Training to deliver this training for Virtual Assistants who are eager to add these skills to their toolbelts.
Here’s just a little bit about Sandra … incase you haven’t heard about her quite yet:

Here’s what recent graduates of Hot Skills Training programs have to say:
“I have three organizations that I’ve integrated Wishlist Member with, and to say that I was frustrated in working with it would be a huge understatement. I just didn’t find it as intuitive as they claim and knew that I was under utilizing this tool.
I came across HotSkillsVATraining’s program to learn Wishlist and signed up immediately. I just
can’t express how fantastic the training was. I can now manipulate the program to do exactly what I want it to do and am happily experiencing a serge in member satisfaction and new member registrations as a result.
I highly recommend this training to anyone who wishes to fully utilize the power of Wishlist
into their membership and/or training programs.”

“This training has changed my entire outlook about what I can actually do for my business and for my clients’ businesses. I had no idea that I can actually add so much value to someone’s business.
I used to think all there is to do is the usual stuff, like typing, Powerpoints, bookkeeping, etc. and that actually was a concern for me. A concern because I found that quite boring. I wished the job as a VA would be challenging and interesting and with the Hot Skills course I learned that it actually IS interesting. And additionally, thanks to the mindset we learned and the Online Business Manager concept, the sky really is the limit.
Now, after taking the Hot Skills course, I know what I can actually do to accelerate a business’ success. I have learned how to set up teleclasses, what one can do with the shopping cart system (offering ebooks, products, classes, etc.), how easy it is to stay in contact with potential clients without thinking about it all the time because I can automate it. I also learned to stop thinking of myself as an employee and more of a savvy business partner to my clients.

“As a VA specializing in Webinar set up and recording I had been getting more and more requests from clients to offer their recordings as paid info products. This was an area I really wanted to explore but I knew that I would need some experience with a shopping cart in order to offer this service.
I was delighted to learn about Cindy’s Hot Skills for VAs class as many of the classes focused specifically on the practical skills I would need to set up the shopping cart, set up the info product and even create the affiliate program.
I have taken a lot of VA training but this program really gets to the nuts and bolts of how to accomplish each task step by step. Also, having the video recordings to refer to each time I forget something has been very helpful.
Since I took their class this past June I have been able to set up three clients in the shopping cart and racked up a nice chunk of hours for doing so. In addition, I can now charge those clients a monthly retainer for maintaining the cart. I wish more practical skills-based training like this was more readily available for us VAs.”

“When I took the Hot Skills course I had not yet opened my business but during the course I was able to narrow my focus on what services I will actually offer. Thank you for that because I thought there was no end to the training I needed.
This is the perfect class to take if you are interested in Virtual Assistance to the coaching or consultant world. You will learn those services they need that they are not even aware so you can figure out how to market yourself. I love the phrase “They don’t know what they don’t know” You will also get a good working knowledge of 1shopping cart set up and maintenance which is a highly marketable skill.”

“If you are looking to become proficient in the tools offered by 1ShoppingCart and want to learn additional ways that you can strengthen your VA skills so that you are in ‘hot’ demand by coaches and consultants in particular, then this class is for you.
It’s one of the best investments you will make in your VA practice because you will immediately see results that you hadn’t expected. Some of these will come in the form of increased knowledge and a new skill set to add to your services, increased confidence level where you feel more comfortable charging a higher rate for specialized services and, ultimately, prospects seeking YOU out because you have just what they want!”

“I was stuck! Although I was offering a laundry list of services, I was dissatisfied because I knew I had technical skills that were being underutilized.
I chose to take the Hot Skills training because I wanted to transform these skills over to my VA business. I also wanted to have a better understanding of how to use these technologies to streamline and automate processes so my clients could better communicate & deliver to their desired audience. In the spirit of paying it forward, my clients would then be able to provide increased value to their desired audience.
Using a combination of teleclass & web demo, the material was well-planned, presented using real-life examples, and interactive. I came away from the class with a terrific set of notes, “after-care” at my fingertips in the form of an alumni mailing list, clarity, focus, the knowledge of HOW I was going to develop my business, and the confidence in knowing I will able to effectively use my talents.”

“There are very few resources in which VA’s help other VA’s to succeed and remain a constant support to each other. [Generally] top VA’s are not willing to help other VA businesses, let alone set up a structured course that is more affordable than paying for hourly VA coaching.
Tina and Cindy teach the knowledge VA’s need to know to start and keep a successful VA business, and they are also eager to answer any questions we may have, at any time. (I constantly ask questions, even if they aren’t out loud, and I felt encouraged to ask if I didn’t understand something and not feel bad if I didn’t catch on as quickly as my classmates).”
